Abstract—Neural State Estimation (NSE) is a novel application of deep learning which is concerned with interpolating the state of a distribution power grid from a limited amount of sensor data and can be represented as a non-linear graph time-series nowcasting problem. Although several authors have proposed their solutions for NSE, there is neither a comparison of approaches nor an industry-standard state of the art model yet. The main purpose of this paper is to compare these solutions to a promising new approach: recurrent graph convolutional neural networks. There are theoretical reasons to assume that this class of models is suited for solving NSE. Our experiments verify that they achieve similar performance while also presenting many unique advantages compared to the previously proposed models.
