Project description and objectives

Distribution System Operators (DSOs) can lack accurate information about phase connectivity in secondary substations, which limits their ability to run advanced algorithms such as Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE).

The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate algorithms for automatic phase identification in medium-voltage networks using real PMU measurements: voltage and current phasors at the primary substation, and current phasors in secondary substations.

Tasks

• Review existing phase identification methods.
• Develop and implement new or improved algorithms in Python.
• Test and validate the algorithms using real PMU datasets with ground truth.
• Evaluate performance under scenarios with distributed generation.

Required skills

• Understanding of electrical distribution grids
• Proficiency in Python
• Basic knowledge of DSSE
