The invention discloses a method for estimating the state of a three-phase four-wire low-voltage distribution network and belongs to the technical field of three-phase state estimation of distribution networks. The method comprises the following steps of firstly, by using a computer, inputting low-voltage distribution meter-reading electric data and a network structure which are acquired within any time section, and parameter information through a program, and initiating the data, the network structure and the parameter information; then calculating constant item parts of a node admittance matrix and a jacobian matrix; synthesizing a measuring equation and T-end point zero injection equation restriction, and taking a real part and an imaginary part of voltage as state variables to calculate unbalance amount, an index type weight function and the jacobian matrix; finally updating the state variables and performing astringency judgment to realize estimation on the state of the three-phase four-wire low-voltage distribution network. Active power and reactive power of a node can be independently calculated by the method, the adverse influence of bad data on an estimating result is prevented, and the method has the characteristics of high difference resistance, good astringency, good numerical stability and the like. The method is widely applied to the estimation on the state of the three-phase four-wire low-voltage distribution network.
