This paper presents a PMU-based state estimation (SE) algorithm that uses a pseudo-dynamic network modeling approach. The pseudo-dynamic network model combines different equations with static network equations. Then it applies the weighted least squares algorithm to solve an over-determined least squares estimation problem. The proposed method can improve SE accuracy during both steady state and transient conditions without increasing the computational burden. In addition, the proposed modeling approach is applied to networks containing both a STATCOM and a voltage source converter-HVdc to demonstrate how to develop and apply a pseudo-dynamic SE model. Case studies aim to illustrate and verify the performance of the proposed method under steady state and transient conditions.
