The development of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, energy storage and nonlinear controllable loads in modern distribution networks has led to the consideration of the state estimation in intelligent and active distribution networks. The performance of the Energy Management Central's distribution network depends on the results of the state estimation. In this paper, two-stage estimation with the network reduction process is proposed. The number of distribution network meter is low, so obtaining accurate initial information from network conditions improves performance state estimation. The initial state estimation with the network reduction process to obtain accurate initial data is performed. The initial data are used as a measure to improve the performance of secondary estimation. This method solves the problem of scarcity of accurate measurements and improves the accuracy of the state estimation in distribution network. The results of the proposed methodology are demonstrated on the 69 nodes of IEEE  standard distribution network.
