“…In recent years, the studies on state estimators began to focus on a synchronous generator and its electromechanical transient model [8][9][10].In essence,this is a typical nonlinear filter problem. Up to now, there has been a significantly amount of studies on DSE of synchronous machines by using particle filters (PF) [11,12] and variousKalman-type filtering algorithms, such asextended Kalman filter (EKF) [13][14][15][16][17], unscented Kalman filter (UKF) [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) [3,25,26].The EKF is a classical nonlinear Kalman filter; the unscented transform-basedUKFprovidesreasonable filtering performance, but its convergence is dependent on the sampling methods of Sigma points [18,19]; the CKF based on the spherical-radial cubature rule is an emerging nonlinear filter, which can give a systematic solution for highdimensional nonlinear filtering issues.Extensive comparisons of all these Kalman-type estimators have been made from different perspectives, such as convergence, numerical stability, and computational complexity in [3,16].…”
