AbstractPhasor measurement unit (PMU) is a GPS-based monitoring equipment employed for the improvement of the stability and reliability of the electrical grid. In this work, an optimal PMU placement has been considered to utilize the least number of units in order to make the power network fully observable. Further, this article also suggests to not only determine the minimal number and optimal locations of PMUs but also installation of the maximum number of PMUs on the weakest bus in an electrical network. Thus, the weak bus based on line stability index utilizing load flow measurement is determined. Then a novel numerical methodology which depends upon binary integer linear programming, constrained by weak bus measurement is proposed in this paper. Also, the effect of a single PMU loss considering weak buses is shown. The developed approach has been conducted on standard IEEE -14, -118, -300 and New England 39- bus test systems. Finally, obtained results and comparison with different weak bus methodologies are shown and examined.

In today’s world, a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is a crucial component of our power network for managing, controlling, and monitoring. PMU can provide synchronized voltage current, and frequency measurements in real time. We can't put a PMU in every bus in the electrical grid because it's not viable from a productivity and economic standpoint, and it's also not practical for handling huge data. As a result, it's critical to reduce the amount of PMU in the power network while also increasing the power network's observability. The optimal PMU placement problem is solved using a variety of methodologies. The paper's main goal is to provide a brief overview of synchrophasor technology, phasor measurement units (PMU), and optimal PMU placement in order to reduce the number of PMUs in the system while maintaining complete observability and application in today's power systems.
