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 …

This paper develops a novel pseudo-measurement construct termed a Correlational
Measurement (CM) to improve observability and state estimation accuracy. CMs utilize the …

Traditional state estimators, which are based on steady state system model, cannot capture
the time-history data. The problem of state estimation combined with multiple sets of …

Information about the certainty of the predicted state of a network is crucial for the effective
management of a modern power system. In transmission systems, observability analysis is …

The present doctoral thesis discusses the design of fault-tolerant distributed systems,
placing emphasis in addressing the case where the actions of the nodes or their interactions …
