【 摘 要 】

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide synchronized measurements of real-time phasors of voltages and currents. It is considered as an important element of the smart wide area measurement system used in advanced power system monitoring, protection, and control applications. This paper proposes a new approach based on a greedy algorithm to solve the optimal phasor measurement unit placement (OPP) problem in the power network. The main purpose of proposed approach is to find out a high-quality solution in a reasonable time that ensures the practicability when applying for a real power network. The OPP problem is solved under both normal operating and contingency conditions. Moreover, some other realistic aspects that may affect the OPP problem, such as PMU channel limitation, zero injection bus, the presence of conventional measurements, are also considered to solve simultaneously. The simulations on IEEE 14-bus, 30-bus, 57-bus, 118-bus test systems, and especially on a large-scale network—the Polish 2383-bus system, are presented for evaluating the feasibility of proposed approach. The results of this study showed that the proposed method is effective and feasible to solve the OPP problem for a real power network.
