Abstract

This paper present a method to find minimum number of phasor measurement units (PMUs) for complete observability of power system network for normal operating conditions.A linear algorithm is used to determine the minimum number of PMUs needed to make the system observable without considering zero injection buses. For state estimation and fault diagnosis in power system synchronized snapshot of whole system must be necessary. The proposed method is used to benchmark the optimal PMUs placement solution for the IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 18-bus, IEEE 24-bus, IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus test systems.
