Nowadays, in modern management and control applications, line parameters need to be known more accurately than in the past to achieve a reliable operation of the distribution grids. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) may improve line parameter estimation processes, but the accuracy of the result is affected by all the elements of the PMU-based measurement chain, in particular by the instrument transformers. Current transformers (CTs) are nonlinear and, therefore, their behavior is not easily described: their models cannot be straightforwardly included in the estimation problem. In this regard, this article refines modeling and compensation of CT systematic errors in line parameter estimation processes, based on different methods to describe the transformer behavior under various operating conditions. As the main result, the systematic errors of CTs are remarkably identified and mitigated. Moreover, the estimation of shunt susceptance values is significantly improved.

With the growing emphasis on mitigating climate change, the power industry is moving toward renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil fuel-based power plants. The transition to renewable energy has created numerous challenges, one of which is the low levels of inertia that impact the stability of power systems. Therefore, inertia monitoring has become an integral part of power system operation to dispatch renewable energy sources while maintaining frequency stability. This article presents an online method to continuously estimate the inertia of a power system. The inertia is computed from data provided by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) using small variations in frequency and power under ambient conditions. The method uses electrical and kinetic energy variations to compute inertia. In addition, a $Q$
