This paper studies the inverse power flow problem which is to infer line and transformer parameters, and the operational structure of a power system from time-synchronized measurements of voltage and current phasors at various locations. We show that the nodal admittance matrix can be uniquely identified from a sequence of steady-state measurements when the system is fully observable, and a reduced admittance matrix, from Kron reduction, can be determined when the system contains some hidden…
