Abstract
Traditional supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) measurements have been providing information regarding different power system parameters for decades. These measurements are typically taken once every 4 to 10 seconds offering a steady state view of the power system behaviour. However, for monitoring and control of large grid only steady state information may not be sufficient. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide dynamic view of the grid. Since PMUs are costly device, optimal placement of PMUs is a thrust areas of research in power system planning. This has been already investigated in previous research findings by different optimization technique. This paper extensively corroborates a simulation model of a wide area network with optimal PMU location. The purpose is to experimentally determine the ability of PMU to observe the entire network from its optimal location. The proposed methodology is implemented and investigated on IEEE six bus system using MATLAB/Simulink.
