Popis: State estimation (SE) is essentially a filtering process with an avid appetite for data. When destitute of redundant, varied, and well-located measurements, SE suffers the consequences of having a poor capability for grid observation. In that event, SE may produce unreliable results, since bad data detection/identification is performed in a precarious way. In short, the presence of critical data (those whose unavailability makes the grid unobservable), limits the SE performance. The search for critical elements of the SE process—e.g., measurements, considered individually or in groups—is an indispensable, laborious task, which involves solving a problem of combinatorial nature. This paper proposes a methodology for the identification of critical data by means of the branch-and-bound paradigm. Numerical results performed on IEEE benchmark systems demonstrate the potential/practical application of the proposed methodology.
