BTLBO Based SPMUs Placement Optimization for Fault Observation in Power Grid

Abstract

The placement of synchro-phasor measurement units in electric transmission systems has also gained much attention for enhancing the control as well as the protection scheme. In this research work, a binary teaching learning based optimization (BTLBO) algorithm for the optimal placement of synchro-phasor measurement units (SPMUs) is proposed. The optimal PMU placement problem is formulated to minimize the number of SPMUs installation subject to full network observability of the power system buses under fault conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the simulation of IEEE 14-bus benchmark system.
