Abstract :
This paper presents an approach for optimally allocating
the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in a power
system. The proposed approach is based on Binary
Integer Programming (BIP) to minimize the total number
of PMUs that can achieve full system observability. The
full system observability is ensured both in normal
operating conditions and in case ofN-1 contingencies
such as the outage of a PMU or a transmission line.
Moreover, the approach is utilized to allocate the PMUs
in case of limited number of PMU channels. The problem
formulation considers the Zero Injection Buses (ZIBs)
and uses a set of rules that can improve the redundancy
of the PMUs by choosing better locations without
increasing their number. The proposed approach is
applied on the IEEE standard systems 14, 30 and 57 test
systems. The simulations results are compared with other
approaches used in the literature to validate the
performance of the proposed approach.
