1. A method comprising:
obtaining non-phasor measurement data about an electrical power system;
obtaining phasor measurement data about the electrical power system;
estimating a state of the electrical power system directly from both the non-phasor and phasor data using a statistical estimation algorithm, wherein the estimation is performed in a state-estimator reference frame using phasor measurement data referenced to a phasor measurement reference frame; and
generating an output indicative of the estimated state.
