170 Chapter 7 State Estimation
The preceding could ultimately lead to an estimator based on more PMU
data that could follow the state through transient swings. With PMU meas-
urements available as often as every two cycle, transient swings with one
second periods could be tracked. There would be some delay but a true
dynamic estimate that was a few hundred millisecond delayed is imagin-
able.
It is also possible to consider the use of real-time phasor measurements
in the estimation of parameters or validation of models of components [8].
The use of phasors and local frequency in estimating machine parameters
and internal states can also be approached as a Kalman filtering problem.
[19] At the level of validating system models, one could replace parts of
the system with observed phasor voltage and currents as time-dependent
sources, and then improve the model of other parts of the system.
