This paper proposes the development of a three-phase state estimation algorithm, which ensures complete observability for the electric network and a low investment cost for application in typical electric power distribution systems, which usually exhibit low levels of supervision facilities and measurement redundancy. Using the customers´ energy bills to calculate average demands, a three-phase load flow algorithm is run to generate pseudo-measurements of voltage magnitudes, active and reactive power injections, as well as current injections which are used to ensure the electrical network is full-observable, even with measurements available at only one point, the substation-feeder coupling point. The estimation process begins with a load flow solution for the customers´ average demand and uses an adjustment mechanism to track the real-time operating state to calculate the pseudo-measurements successively. Besides estimating the real-time operation state the proposed methodology also generates nontechnical losses estimation for each operation state. The effectiveness of the state estimation procedure is demonstrated by simulation results obtained for the IEEE 13-bus test network and for a real urban feeder.

This paper presents an efficient strategy for transformer planning to reduce the system losses by means of transformer rearrangement. The customer connected to the distribution transformer are first investigated by the field survey, and the loads of the various customers are collected from the customer information system (CIS) and distribution database system (DAS) to derive their load patterns. The objective function is to minimize the total line loss in the 24 intervals. An improved bacterial foraging algorithm (IBFO) is proposed herein to find the optimal phase combination of distribution transformers to minimize the total line loss by considering operating constraints. A three-phase load flow program with Eeuivalent current injection (ECT) is used to solve the total line loss and system unbalance factor on a Taipower distribution system. The results can help operators not only perform the proper installation phase selection of distribution transformers, but also reduce the system losses, decrease the system unbalance factor, and improve the voltage profiles of the buses.
