ĭetermination of the instantaneous load flows on the network based on thetopology and the telemetered measurement values (allowing for redundancy and errors) (STATE ESTIMATION).

ĭetermination of the measurement connectivity of the network based on a model of the measurement structure of the network, its electrical connectivity, and transducer outage effects (OBSERVABILITY). There exist three basic activities in this process: -ĭetermination of the electrical connectivity of the network based on a model of the substations and the telemetered circuit breaker and isolator status (TOPOLOGY). Power system monitoring is an essential prerequisite to the more complex tasks of security assessment, contingency analysis, restorative control and optimal operation.
