State estimation (SE) usually serves as the basic function of the energy management system (EMS). In this paper, the time-scale characteristics of the integrated heat and electricity networks are studied and an SE model is established. Then, a two-stage iterative algorithm is proposed to estimate the time delay of heat power transportation in the pipeline. Meanwhile, to accommodate the measuring resolutions of the integrated network, a hybrid SE approach is developed based on the two-stage iterative algorithm. Results show that, in both steady and dynamic processes, the two-stage estimator has good accuracy and convergence. The hybrid estimator has good performance on tracking the variation of the states in the heating network, even when the available measurements are limited.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
