Quality of power supply in power distribution systems requires continuous measurement using power quality analyzers installed in the grid. The paper reviews the published methods for optimal location of metering points in distribution systems in the context of power quality metering and assessment. Three methods have been selected for detailed analysis and comparative tests. It has been found that utilization of the methods is possible, but their performance varies highly depending on the test grid’s topology. Since the methods rely on the state estimation approach, their performance is strictly related to observability analysis. It has been found that standard observability analysis used for typical state estimation problem yields ambiguous results when applied to power quality assessment. Inherited properties of the selected methods are also analyzed, which allows for the formulation of general recommendations about optimal selection of metering points in a distribution system.

Abstract As electricity demand is continuously increasing, the complexity and criticality of the power system infrastructure is increasing. After suffering from world’s largest power blackout on 30th and 31st July, 2012, the Indian power grids are now adopting the smart grid technologies to prevent such massive power failures. It initiated with the installation of PMUs on each strategically selected critical location in the entire grid under the Real Time Dynamic State measurements (URTDSM) scheme to attain the complete observability of the system. However, attainment of complete observability further demands selection of accurate and fast SE algorithm which is still a challenging task. The aim of this paper is to recommend the most efficient and accurate state estimator based on Linear State Estimation (LSE) algorithms for efficient real time monitoring and control of the grid, especially for Indian Power Grid. The performance test was conducted on two different SE algorithms, the Weighted Least Square (WLS) algorithm and recursive Kalman Filter algorithm. The test results are obtained on Indian 75-bus transmission system and validation is done by comparing the test results with the results obtained on standard IEEE-39 bus test system. Based on the performance comparison of the two algorithms, the selection of most suitable algorithm to be implemented in Indian power grid is achieved.

The paper responds to research problems related to the implementation of large-scale investment projects in waterways in Europe. As part of design and construction works, it is necessary to indicate river ports that play a major role within the European transport network as intermodal nodes. This entails a number of challenges, the cardinal one being the optimal selection of port locations, taking into account the new transport, economic, and geopolitical situation that will be brought about by modernized waterways. The aim of the paper was to present an original methodology for determining port locations for modernized waterways based on non-cost criteria, as an extended multicriteria decision-making method (MCDM) and employing GIS (Geographic Information System)-based tools for spatial analysis. The methodology was designed to be applicable to the varying conditions of a river’s hydroengineering structures (free-flowing river, canalized river, and canals) and adjustable to the requirements posed by intermodal supply chains. The method was applied to study the Odra River Waterway, which allowed the formulation of recommendations regarding the application of the method in the case of different river sections at every stage of the research process.
