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...
