Recursive Estimation of Three Phase Line Admittance in Electric Power Networks

Synchronized phasor measurements in power transmission and distribution networks enable real-time monitoring of voltage and currents. Such measurements can be used to monitor power flow, but also to monitor important electric parameters of the network. In this paper, it is shown how synchrophasor measurements can be used for real-time monitoring of the admittance of the connections between buses in a power network, typically the three-phase transmission or distribution lines. The objective is to formulate admittance monitoring capabilities in which changes in three-phase line admittance can be monitored in real-time and achieved by the formulation of synchrophasor-based recursive estimation techniques over short time intervals.
