Fast Initial State Assessment for State Estimator using Optimally Located Phasor Measurement Units

Fast Initial State Assessment for State Estimator using Optimally Located Phasor Measurement Units

Complex power systems need better observability and visualization capabilities to handle critical situations effectively. Synchro-phasor measurements provide intra second visibility to power system dynamics and enable faster control actions. A Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) measures the voltage and current phasors (angle and magnitude) at a bus in a power system. In the literature, many methods ...

Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Units for State Estimation

Synchronized Phasor Measurements in a Dual Layer Hybrid State Estimator

Original scientific paper The architecture of the proposed Dual Layer Hybrid State Estimator starts with the linear state estimator that only takes synchrophasors as inputs and calculates states of the buses with the deployed Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and their adjacent buses. These states are used to obtain the pseudomeasurements that are processed together with conventional SCADA measur...

Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Units for Improving Power System State Estimation Accuracy: A Heuristic Approach

This paper describes a heuristic approach for optimal placement of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in power system for improving state estimation accuracy. PMUs are able to measure highly accurate bus voltage phasors as well as branch current phasors incident to the buses at which PMUs are installed. Due to cost consideration of PMU placement, power grid utilities are interested in the knowledg...

Optimal Placement of Phasor Measurement Units Using Gravitational Search Method

This paper presents a methodology using Gravitational Search Algorithm for optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in order to achieve complete observability of the power system. The objective of proposed algorithm is to minimize the total number of PMUs at the power system buses, which in turn minimize installation cost of the PMUs. In this algorithm, the searcher agents are colle...
