Abstract Algorithms are presented for converting units of measurement from a given form to a desired form. The algorithms are fast, are able to convert any combination of units to any equivalent combination, and perform dimensional analysis to ensure that the conversion is legitimate. Algorithms are also presented for simpliication of symbolic combinations of units. Application of these techniques to perform automatic unit conversion and unit checking in a programming language is described.

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...
