Optimal PMU Placement in Power System Networks Using Integer Linear Programming

Pradeep S. Chauhan, S. P. Singh

The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is an important tool for monitoring and control of the power system. It gives real time, synchronized measurements of voltages at the buses and also current phase values which are incident to those buses where these PMUs are located. This paper presents a topological approach to determine the optimal PMU placement in order to make the system completely observable using binary integer linear programming. The proposed formulation istested on various IEEE test systems and results so obtained for complete observability of system at normal condition and with loss of single PMU are also presented in this paper. The proposed PMU placement has been implemented on IEEE -14, 30, 57 and 118 bus systems, practical 75-bus system of Utter-Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB) and New England 39-bus system.
