Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents optimal allocation of Micro-Phasor Measurement Units (M-PMU) in distribution network using Binary Integer Linear Programming (BILP) method considering security constraints. Placement of PMUs at every node of feeder network is infeasible as it is highly economical. So, to minimize the number of M-PMU's and to locate at optimal places, observability constraints are considered in one case, and allocation of M-PMUs at critical nodes in priority is considered in another case as security constraints. M-PMU allocation in case of single line outage or PMU loss is formulated. A node observability index (NOI) is proposed to check the observability of every node in the network. Complete feeder network observability (CFNO) is proposed to check performance of observability of complete network. MATLAB simulations are considered for IEEE-13, 33, 37, 69 feeder network, and obtained results are compared with standard methods to show its efficacy.KeywordsCritical nodesM-PMUObservabilitySecurity constraints
