Phasor Measurement Unit’s (PMU) are power system devices which provide real time synchronized phasor measurements. Synchronization is achieved by same-time sampling of voltage and current waveforms by means of timing signals from the Global Positioning System Satellite (GPS). Synchronized phasor measurements make higher the standards of power system monitoring, control, and protection. Since PM...

Advanced power system nowadays demands to ensure accurate estimate of the system states (bus voltages and angles) in order to ensure protection, monitoring, controlling and smooth running of the system. The conventional state estimator estimates the power system states based on the measurements obtained from the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Besides, the use of synchr...

In India Power system monitoring is based mainly on measurements provided by Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). For power system measurement synchronized Phasor or Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is popular choice in abroad and its popularity is increasing day by day because of its several features. Direct measurement of voltage or current Phasor is possible because of PMU which was not possible earlier...

Phasor measurement unit s (PMUs) provide globally synchronized measurements of voltage and current phasors in real-time and at a high sampling rate. Hence, they permit improving the state estimation performance in power systems. In this paper we propose a novel method for optimal PMU placement in a power system suffering from random component outages (RCOs). In the proposed method, for a given ...

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...

This paper explored a novel method for strategic monitoring of a power system to schematically monitor power system variables that are sensitive to transients. The characteristics of a fully developed transient or power swing increase frequency slip rates, generator pole slips, rotor out-of-step etc. whose effects lead to loss of synchronism of coherent generators in a power system. When these ...
