This papers studies centralized and distributed architecturesfor hybrid AC/HVDC state estimator (SE). Furthermore,the benefit of having bad data detection (BDD) and deployingphasor measurement units (PMU) in the state estimation areinvestigated. The method used for the SE is the weighted leastsquare (WLS) method. The SE will be developed based on thepower grid model ’The CIGRE B4 DC Grid Test System’. Theresults of the tests show that the addition of BDD and PMUimproved the error of the estimated values. Furthermore thedistributed architecture offered slightly less accurate AC valuesthan the centralized.} } @COMMENT{Bibtex file generated on }
