We consider here the problem of detecting changes in the status of switching devices, circuit
breakers in particular, in distribution networks. The lack of measurements in distribution …

An electric power distribution system is operated in several distinct radial topologies by
opening and closing of system's sectionalizing and tie switches. The estimation of the …

This paper will show how the accuracy and security of SCADA systems can be improved by
using anomaly detection to identify bad values caused by attacks and faults. The …

This paper discusses practical state estimation techniques for primarily-radial 3-phase
distribution networks. For distribution operations, practical state estimation is considered to …

Situational awareness (SA) is critical to properly operating active power distribution systems
during normal and outage conditions. Appropriate SA tools should provide an accurate …

The paper deals with power system topology verification. The correct model of a power
system topology is essential for different power system applications. There are different …

This paper proposes a new practical approach for including circuit breakers with unknown
statuses in the formulation of the generalized state estimation problem. Unlike other …

This paper presents the concept of a tapered deep neural network, subject to unsupervised
training layer by layer, under a criterion of maximum entropy, to perform the estimation of …

This dissertation focuses on real time monitoring of Power Distribution Systems, to improve
the efficiency and reliability of the distribution systems operation. First of all, the …

An increasing number of inverter‐based power generators have been connected to the
distribution network in recent years. This phenomenon coupled with the adoption of open …
