Binary particle swarm optimisation-based optimal substation coverage algorithm for phasor measurement unit installations in practical systems

چکیده
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) play an important role in the wide-area monitoring and protection of modern power systems. Historically, their deployment was limited by the prohibitive cost of the device itself. Therefore, the objective of the conventional optimal PMU placement problem was to find minimum number of devices, which when carefully placed throughout the network, maximised observability subject to different constraints. Due to improvements in relay technology, digital relays can now serve as both relays and PMUs. Under such circumstances, the substation installations consume the largest portion of the deployment cost, and not the devices themselves. Thus, for minimising cost of synchrophasor deployment, number of substation installations must be minimised. This study uses binary particle swarm optimisation to minimise number of substations in which installations must be performed for making all voltage levels observable, while being subject to various practical constraints. Standard IEEE systems have been used to explain the technique. Finally, a large-scale network of Dominion Virginia Power is used as the test bed for implementation.

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...

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...
