METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF MEASUREMENT UNITS FOR ESTIMATING THE STATE OF A PHYSICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION GRID

The invention relates to a method for determining an optimal placement of measurement units for estimating the state of a physical power distribution grid. The method comprises a step of searching for measurement-unit placements that are compatible with a State Estimation method that is performed in two stages, first, a Minimum Norm formulation, followed by a Weighted Least Square one.
