Abstract :
Optimal phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement involves the process of minimizing the number of PMU needed while ensuring entire power system network completely observable. This paper presents the improved binary particle swarm (IBPSO) method that converges faster and also manage to maximize the measurement redundancy compared to the existing BPSO method. This method is applied to IEEE-30 bus system for the case of considering zero-injection bus and its effectiveness is verified by the simulation results done by using MATLAB software.
