Abstract

The exponential increase in demand for energy globally has created an urge to increase the production and its efficient supply. Microgrids are one such solution to meet the energy needs of a growing population. Microgrids are stand-alone distributed systems [DS] which are based on renewable energy for better environmental stability. These are highly reliable and cheap, hence are widely being used. With an increase in the popularity of microgrids, the increasing need for effective monitoring and control of the grids is required. This can be achieved through state estimation [SE]. This brings out the need for distributed system state estimation [DSSE]. One of the ways to perform DSSE is through Kalman filter [KF]. This paper focuses on Kalman filter and its variants. The authors move further to discuss all the possible ways to use the variants and to compare them to suggest the ideal filter for various requirements.
