Digital Twin-Guided Multi-Source State Estimation via Physics-Constrained DDPM for Renewable-Integrated Distribution Networks

Résumé fourni par la source

Reliable state estimation is essential for the secure and efficient operation of sustainable energy systems, especially under the increasing integration of renewable energy, distributed resources, and heterogeneous sensing devices. However, in practical power systems, SCADA, PMU, and AMI measurements often have different sampling rates, accuracies, communication delays, and availability levels, which makes reliable data completion and multi-source fusion difficult. This paper focuses on the state estimation problem of renewable-integrated distribution networks under multi-source heterogeneous measurement conditions. In such distribution networks, the increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy resources and the joint deployment of multiple measurement devices, including SCADA, PMU, and AMI, may lead to incomplete measurements, asynchronous sampling, differences in measurement accuracy, and reduced system observability. To address these issues, this paper proposes a model-based digital twin reference-guided physics-constrained DDPM framework to improve the quality of missing-measurement completion and the reliability of state estimation in distribution-network scenarios. A four-layer simulation-oriented cyber–physical framework is first constructed to integrate physical sensing, model-based digital twin reference mapping, AI-based measurement completion, and state estimation feedback. Within this framework, a physics-constrained self-supervised denoising diffusion probabilistic model is developed to recover missing measurements by combining observed data, digital twin reference measurements, real-time topology information, and power system operational constraints. The completed pseudo-measurements and physical measurements are then fused through a credibility-aware weighting strategy that considers timeliness, data integrity, measurement accuracy, and virtual–real consistency verification under simulation settings. Simulation results on the IEEE 14-bus system show that the proposed method improves pseudo-measurement completion and supports more reliable voltage magnitude and phase angle estimation under different measurement configurations. Under the tested simulation settings and multi-source measurement configurations, the results indicate that the proposed method can improve pseudo-measurement completion and support more reliable voltage magnitude and phase angle estimation. However, its performance under frequent topology switching, high missing-data ratios, and complex abnormal data conditions remains to be further evaluated.
