Stochastic Monitoring of Distribution Networks Including Correlated Input Variables

The evolving complexity of distribution networks with higher levels of uncertainties is a new challenge faced by system operators. This paper introduces the use of Gaussian mixtures models as input variables in stochastic power flow studies and state estimation of distribution networks. These studies are relevant for the efficient exploitation of renewable energy sources and the secure operation of network assets.
