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...

Modern distribution networks are characterized by higher distortion and faster variability of voltages currents. Accurate synchrophasor, frequency ROCOF measurements thus ask for new techniques trying to reduce latency while limiting the impact spurious components. In this respect, Taylor-Fourier Multifrequency approach is a good candidate Phasor Measurement Units intended system applications. ...

In a large and complex interconnected power system, the measurement of synchronized bus voltage line current plays vital role in monitoring precise control various sophisticated electrical equipment for secure reliable operation. Phasor units (PMUs) are incorporated into wide area system to extract different signals phasors. this paper, capacity PMU phasor estimation algorithm is explored based...

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are integrated to the transmission networks under the smart grid umbrella. The observability of PMUs is geographically limited due to their high cost in integration. The measurements of PMUs can be complemented by those from widely installed supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) to enhance the situational awareness. This paper proposes a new state esti...

Secure operation of power systems is receiving a renewed interest due to considerable structural changes and greater uncertainties. Thus, motivated by implementation of wide-area measurement systems in power systems worldwide, recent research work is being devoted to the development of enhanced tools for fast security assessment within reduced time frames. The work presented in this paper intro...

the well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. a new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (mp) is shown to simulat...
