A Direct Numerical Method for Observability Analysis

Bei Gou and Ali Abur, Senior Member, IEEE

Abstract—This paper presents an algebraic method that uses the triangular factors of singular, symmetric gain matrix to determine the observable islands of a measured power system. This is accomplished in a noniterative manner via the use of selected rows of the inverse factors. Implementation of the proposed method presents little additional effort, since sparse triangular factorization and forward/back substitution procedures common to existing state estimators, are the only required functions. The method is further extended for the choice of pseudo-measurements in order to merge the observable islands into a single observable system. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the details of the proposed methods.

Index Terms—Observability analysis, measurement placement, observable islands, sparse triangular factorization, forward/back substitutions.
