A General Optimal Substation Coverage Algorithm for Phasor Measurement Unit Placement in Practical Systems

Optimal Substation Coverage for Phasor Measurement Unit Installations

The PMU has been found to carry great deal of value for applications in the wide area monitoringof power systems. Historically, deployment of these devices has been limited by the prohibitivecost of the device itself. Therefore, the objective of the conventional optimal PMU placementproblem is to find the minimum number devices, which if carefully placed throughout thenetwork, e...

Binary particle swarm optimisation-based optimal substation coverage algorithm for phasor measurement unit installations in practical systems

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) play an important role in the wide-area monitoring and protection of modern power systems. Historically, their deployment was limited by the prohibitive cost of the device itself. Therefore, the objective of the conventional optimal PMU placement problem was to find minimum number of devices, which when carefully placed throughout the network, maximised observabi...

Presenting a New Method Based on Branch Placement for Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Units

In this paper, a new method based on branch placement for the optimal positioning of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in power systems is proposed. In this method, the PMUs are in type of single-channel and are installed at the beginning of the branches. Therefore, they are able to measure the bus voltages. Also, the installation of the PMUs on the branches increases the security of observabilit...

Optimal Phasor Measurement Unit Placement in the Observability of Power System by using Spanning Tree Algorithm

Phasor Measurement Unit’s (PMU) are power system devices which provide real time synchronized phasor measurements. Synchronization is achieved by same-time sampling of voltage and current waveforms by means of timing signals from the Global Positioning System Satellite (GPS). Synchronized phasor measurements make higher the standards of power system monitoring, control, and protection. Since PM...
