With the increasing penetration of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation, distribution networks are increasingly affected by power fluctuations, operating-point variations, and non-Gaussian measurement disturbances, which impose higher requirements on the accuracy and robustness of dynamic state estimation. Conventional methods usually represent PV units as equivalent power injections and therefore cannot adequately describe the dynamic effects of their internal control loops. Moreover, Kalman-filter-based methods derived under Gaussian noise assumptions may suffer performance degradation in the presence of non-Gaussian noise and abnormal measurements. To address these issues, a dynamic state estimation model considering the control dynamics of distributed PV systems was established, and a maximum correntropy criterion-based adaptive cubature Kalman filter (MCC-ACKF) was proposed.
A two-stage three-phase distributed PV system was modeled by explicitly considering its feedback control structure. Differential equations were constructed to describe the dynamic evolution of PV-side states, which were then incorporated into the distribution-network state vector to form a unified nonlinear dynamic state estimation model. To improve robustness against non-Gaussian disturbances, the maximum correntropy criterion was introduced into the cubature Kalman filtering framework. An adaptive weighting matrix based on state prediction and measurement errors was constructed to adjust the Kalman gain, while a kernel-width adaptation strategy based on the median absolute deviation of residuals was introduced to update the kernel parameter online. These mechanisms reduced the influence of abnormal measurements and improved the adaptability of the filtering process.
The proposed method was evaluated on an IEEE 33-bus, 10 kV distribution network with distributed PV units. Five simulation cases were considered, including steady-state operation, load and irradiance variations, short-circuit faults with bad data, large measurement errors, and increasing PV penetration. The square-root cubature Kalman filter, the singular-value-decomposition-based adaptive cubature Kalman filter, and two ablation variants were used for comparison. Under steady-state conditions, the mean absolute errors of voltage magnitude and phase angle were reduced, respectively, compared with the square-root cubature Kalman filter. Under simultaneous load and irradiance variations, the proposed method maintained stable tracking and achieved the lowest overall estimation errors. When a short-circuit fault and 0.5% bad measurement data were introduced, the average voltage-magnitude error remained below 2% of the true value, and the average phase-angle error remained below 1°. The method also showed lower estimation errors under 10% large measurement disturbances.
As the PV penetration increased from 67.29% to 94.21%, the estimation errors increased but no sustained divergence occurred. At 94.21% penetration, the average voltage-magnitude error remained below 0.1%, and the phase-angle mean absolute error was 7.51×10-3 °. The average computation time per estimation step was 6.63-6.78 ms, which was shorter than the 10 ms sampling interval. The results show that the proposed MCC-ACKF provides accurate and robust dynamic state estimation under non-Gaussian disturbances and high PV penetration while satisfying the computational requirements of the tested system.
