The standards of power system monitoring, control and protection are elevated by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) as an auspicious tool. It is the purpose of this paper to determine the optimal number and locations of PMUs so as to make the system measurement model observable and also estimate the power system state. The proposed modelling approach which models PMU placement as an integer linear...

Saha Roy Power system state estimation with exclusive utilization of synchronous phasor measurements demands that the system should be completely observable through PMUs only. To have minimum number of PMUs, the PMU placement issue in an...

Synchrophasor data generated by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) allow time synchronized observations of disturbances and power oscillations on an electric grid caused by sudden generation loss, topology modifications and load changes. As PMUs expose (noisy) data streams with harmonic content in excess of 30Hz sampling, automatic detection and quantification of disturbance events is essential. F...

Glioma cancer cells adapt to changing microenvironment and shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis for their metabolic needs irrespective of oxygen availability. In the present study, we show that silencing MMP-9 in combination with uPAR/cathepsin B switch the glycolytic metabolism of glioma cells to oxidative phos...

An 8 mm-band two-dimensional Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radiometer (SAIR) called BHU-2D has been developed by Electromagnetics Engineering Laboratory of Beihang University. The radiometer could obtain images in real-time benefiting from the adoption of a 1 bit/2 level FPGA-based correlator array. The correlator array requires a group of Power Measurement Units (PMUs) to denormalize the ...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for recovering missing data of phasor measurement units (PMUs). Due to the low-rank property of PMU data, missing measurement recovery can be formulated as a low-rank matrix-completion problem. Based on maximum-margin matrix factorization, we propose an efficient algorithm based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving the matrix co...

The analysis of power system observability and the rules of PMU placement are concisely presented. Several algorithms of PMU placement as well as their differences and relations are discussed in details: a graph-theoretic procedure based on Depth First Search can find the optimal placement the most quickly; Simulated Annealing Method can help the algorithm converge to global optimum. Base on th...

This paper presents a procedure by which new PMU locations can be systematically determined in order to render an observable system. The procedure is then extended to account for cases of loss of a single phasor measurement unit (PMU). Buses with zero and non-zero injections, and branches with power flow measurements are also accounted for in this generalized procedure. Several cases involving ...
