"This thesis investigates the problem of the Optimal Placement scheme of Phasor Measurement Units in electrical power systems for State Estimation to facilitate improved monitoring and control of the system parameters. The research work done for this thesis begins with review of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA). SCADA-based systems are currently employed for condition monitoring and control of industrial and utility electrical power systems. For utility power networks, the main problem with voltage and current phasor data captured by SCADA systems is that they are not synchronised with respect to each other in a present-time or Real-time framework. This implies that both magnitude and phase angle of the measured phasors tend to get affected by slow data flow provided by SCADA to the points of utilization and also by differences in time instants of data capture. These factors inhibit theefficiency and quality of the power system monitoring and control. "Phasor Measurement Unit" (PMU) is a relatively new technology that, when employed in power networks, offers real-time synchronised measurements of the voltages at buses and currents along the lines that connect them. This is accomplished by using a GPS based monitoring system which facilitates time synchronisation of measurements and unlike SCADA, makes the measured data available in Real-Time format. SCADA is not able to provide Real-time data due to the low speeds at which RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) provide data. Availability of time-stamped phasor measurements makes PMUs preferable for power system monitoring and control applications such as State Estimation, Instability Prediction Analysis, Real-time Monitoring of the system conditions, Islanding Detection, System Restoration and Bad Data Detection."
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are considered as a promising tool for future monitoring, protection and control of power systems. One of the applications of phasor measurements is state estimation. The first step in state estimation is to gather measured data from different substations in a power network. These measurements must be sufficient to make the system observable. This book adopts three algorithms for minimizing the size of the PMU configuration while allowing full observability of the network; Depth First Search (DFS), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithms. The applied methodologies included the system observablility during normal operating conditions, as well as single branch forced outages in order to obtain a reliable system. The book also adopts two efficient heuristic techniques for optimal PMU placement; Greedy algorithm and Single Vertex Algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of the introduced algorithms, comparative studies are conducted on four test systems with encouraging results. The obtained results are compared with the results of other approaches from literature to demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied methods.

After the deregulation of the power industry, power systems are required to be operated efficiently and economically in today's strongly competitive environment. In order to achieve these objectives, it is crucial for power system control centers to accurately monitor the system operating state. State estimation is an essential tool in an energy management system (EMS). It is responsible for providing an accurate and correct estimate for the system operating state based on the available measurements in the power system. A robust state estimation should have the capability of keeping the system observable during different contingencies, as well as detecting and identifying the gross errors in measurement set and network topology. However, this capability relies directly on the system network configuration and measurement locations. In other words, a reliable and redundant measurement system is the primary condition for a robust state estimation. This dissertation is focused on the possible benefits to state estimation of using synchronized phasor measurements to improve the measurement system. The benefits are investigated with respect to the measurement redundancy, bad data and topology error processing functions in state estimation. This dissertation studies how to utilize the phasor measurements in the traditional state estimation. The optimal placement of measurement to realize the maximum benefit is also considered and practical algorithms are designed. It is shown that strategic placement of a few phasor measurement units (PMU) in the system can significantly increase measurement redundancy, which in turn can improve the capability of state estimation to detect and identify bad data, even during loss of measurements. Meanwhile, strategic placement of traditional and phasor measurements can also improve the state estimation's topology error detection and identification capability, as well as its robustness against branch outages. The proposed procedures and algorithms are illustrated and demonstrated with different sizes of test systems. And numerical simulations verify the gained benefits of state estimation in bad data processing and topology error processing.
The world-wide application of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) brings great benefit to power system state estimation. The synchronised measurements from PMUs can increase estimation accuracy, synchronise states among different systems, and provide greater applicability of state estimation in the transient condition. However, the integration of synchronised measurements with state estimation can introduce efficiency problems due to the substantial burden of data. The research is divided into two parts: finding a solution to cope with the computational efficiency problem and developing a transient state estimation algorithm based on synchronised measurements from PMUs. The computational efficiency problems constitute important considerations in the operation of state estimation. To improve the low computational efficiency, two distributed algorithms are proposed in Chapters 4 and 5. In these two algorithms, the modelling, structure, and solution are described, and the corresponding procedures of bad data processing are presented. Numerical results on the IEEE 30-bus, 118-bus and 300-bus systems can verify the effectiveness of the two proposed algorithms. A novel transient state estimation algorithm based on synchronised measurements is proposed in Chapter 6. Considering the scanning cycle and sampling rate of PMU measurements, the proposed algorithm can estimate transient states in a practical way. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in a transient simulation on the IEEE 14-bus system.
