Abstract

The conventional passive distribution network (DN) has evolved into an active DN enriched with distributed energy resources (DERs). The network's voltage profile becomes volatile and fluctuating, necessitating real-time high-granular voltage estimation for prompt decision-making in the network. This paper introduces an innovative real-time voltage estimation scheme on the customer side using sparsely but strategically deployed high-reporting-rate smart meters (HRRSMs). With a deep learning model capturing network and temporal correlations, the real-time voltage data reported by sparse HRRSMs can be leveraged to estimate the voltages at the terminals of all the unmeasured customers in high resolution and in real time. A clustering-based sparse HRRSM installation technique adhering to budgetary constraints and alleviates communication network burdens is also developed.
