in this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (pmus) is proposed to minimize the number of pmu installation subjected to full network observability. three main purposes of pmus output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. we have combined binary imperialistic competitio...

in this paper a new algorithm based on phasor measurements for estimating the thévenin equivalent (te) and system inertia constant is proposed. the method estimates the network te seen from a generator terminal and equivalent system inertia constant by means of phasor data that is available at phasor data concentrator (pdc) center. it is shown that the parameters of the te could be estimated at...

Catastrophic failures in power grid due to maloperation of traditional backup protection system (e.g. third zone of distance relays) was one of the main causes of many cascade trips. This paper assess a new wide-area backup protection system (WABPS) based on phasor measurement units (PMU), to improve third zone of distance relays to avoid its mal-operation. Based on this assessment, phasor meas...

The conventional power system is going through a paradigm change towards smart grid, incorporating technological innovations for sensing, communicating, applying intelligence and exercising control through feedback. Recently, phasor measurement units (PMUs) have been used extensively for the purpose of sensing and communication. In many system planning studies, planners experience conflicts whi...

The Eastern Interconnection Phasor Projects (EIPP) is a Department of Energy (DOE) and Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) initiative to deliver immediate value of phasor technology to the Eastern Interconnection (EI) participants. With the current EI phasor network comprising of approximately 25 Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) and 5 Phasor Data Concentrators (PDC) i...
