PMU Placement in IEEE 14-bus System and an Aspect on Transmission Line Fault Detection

Abstract

In this paper, improvements in power system control and protection by utilizing real time synchronized phasor measurements is suggested. Various methods like Depth First, Recursive Security, Recursive N-1 spanning suggesting optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for complete observability of a power system are reviewed. Steady state and single branch outages for PMU placement algorithms are analyzed on IEEE-14 bus test system. Also a possible strategy for the transmission system fault location using the concept of Synchro phasor and PMU is explored.
