RT Journal Article T1 State Estimation Fusion for Linear Microgrids over an Unreliable Network A1 Soleymannejad, Mohammad A1 Sadrian Zadeh, Danial A1 Moshiri, Behzad A1 Sadjadi, Ebrahim A1 García Herrero, Jesús A1 Molina López, José Manuel AB Microgrids should be continuously monitored in order to maintain suitable voltages overtime. Microgrids are mainly monitored remotely, and their measurement data transmitted throughlossy communication networks are vulnerable to cyberattacks and packet loss. The current studyleverages the idea of data fusion to address this problem. Hence, this paper investigates the effects ofestimation fusion using various machine-learning (ML) regression methods as data fusion methodsby aggregating the distributed Kalman filter (KF)-based state estimates of a linear smart microgridin order to achieve more accurate and reliable state estimates. This unreliability in measurementsis because they are received through a lossy communication network that incorporates packet lossand cyberattacks. In addition to ML regression methods, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and dependentordered weighted averaging (DOWA) operators are also employed for further comparisons.The results of simulation on the IEEE 4-bus model validate the effectiveness of the employed MLregression methods through the RMSE, MAE and R-squared indices under the condition of missingand manipulated measurements. In general, the results obtained by the Random Forest regressionmethod were more accurate than those of other methods.
