Security and Analysis of Data from Smart Meters for Adopting in Distribution System State Estimation

The current state estimation function in the DMS relies on a very limited number of SCADA measurements, but this number will increase significantly owing to the high penetration of DERs and the large number of field sensors. The introduction of smart meters and PMUs at the distribution level will offer considerable advantages in terms of enhanced monitoring and control. However, the huge amount of continuous data will pose computational and communication challenges. In addition to this, the growing communication and ICT
