Micro PMU Placement In Distribution Network With Probabilistic Contingencies and Bound Budget

This paper envisages a novel proposal for micro-PMU placement in distribution network in a budget constraint environment to gear the single branch outage condition. The objectives of this work are to deploy minimum number of micro-PMUs in distribution network in order to get complete system observability considering channel cost of micro-PMUs for the sake of easing down the economic burden, to evaluate the total cost and to propose an algorithm serving situational coverage of single branch outage condition. In a reserved budget circumstance aiming at subduing the number of extra micro-PMUs under single branch outage condition, reliability of system components under normal and adverse weather conditions are introduced. Probability of unavailability of each branch is computed by Markov chain two state transition model. The probability assessment justifies the number of branches should be taken care off to meet the bound budget environment. An example with evaluation of cost has been provided for IEEE 34 test bus system.
