Abstract

Identifying the prevailing polluting sources would help the distribution system operators in acting directly on the cause of the problem, thus reducing the corresponding negative effects. Due to the limited availability of specific measurement devices, ad hoc methodologies must be considered. In this regard, compressive sensing (CS)-based solutions are perfect candidates. This mathematical technique allows recovering sparse signals when a limited number of measurements are available, thus overcoming the lack of power quality meters. In this article, a new formulation of the ell _{1} -minimization algorithm for CS problems, with quadratic constraint, has been designed and investigated in the framework of the identification of the main polluting sources in smart grids. A novel whitening transformation is proposed for this context. This specific transformation allows the energy of the measurement errors to be appropriately estimated, and thus, better identification results are obtained. The validity of the proposal is proven by means of several simulations and tests performed on two distribution networks for which suitable measurement systems are considered along with a realistic quantification of the uncertainty sources.
