mxn matrix L, and an upper triangular nxn matrix U. More details can
be found in the Appendix of the paper as well. Reference [2] does not
contain any method related to observability analysis and our paper does
not make any claims to that effect. The decomposition is used in step
1 of the algorithm in section III-A with proper reference to [2] for decomposition of the H matrix.
The discussors state that the method to determine the critical measurements by checking the null columns of Kred is given without proof.
The reason is that the proof is already available for the interested reader
in [3, p. 91], where the redundant measurements are expressed in terms
of the essential measurements via the matrix T. Please note that this matrix T in [3, eq. (4.66)] is the same as Kred in the paper.
The main objective of this paper is to enable bad data detection for all
measurements by strategically placing a minimum number of PMUs.
An algorithm is developed and presented for this purpose. An extension of the algorithm is also presented where the local redundancy is
increased to some desired level by adding more PMUs. The extension
of the algorithm transforms some of the critical pairs so that errors in
them can be identified; however, as indicated clearly at the bottom of
Section III-E2 of the paper, there is no guarantee that all critical pairs
will be transformed.
As for the example in Fig. 2 of the discussion, the measurement
system after the placement of the injection is more reliable and desirable than without it. Without the injection, no matter which measurement is in error, bad data can never be detected. However, with
the injection measurement, irrespective of which of the three measurements are in error, bad data will be detected. Creation of critical pairs
via placement of the injection is a small price to pay for having the capability to detect bad data which is otherwise not detectable.
We thank the discussers again for giving us a chance to elaborate on
the above issues.
