Achieving Effective Power System Observability in Optimal PMUs Placement Using GA-EHBSA

Normally, the power system observation is carried out for the optimal PMUs placement with minimum use of unit in the region of the Smart power grid system. By advanced tool, the process of protection and management of the power system is considered with the measurement of time-synchronized of the voltage and current. In order to have an efficient placement solution for the issue, a novel method is needed with the optimal approach. For complete power network observability of PMU optimal placement a new method is implemented. However, the process of placement and connection of the buses is considered at various places with the same cost of installation. GA based Enhanced Harmony and Binary Search Algorithm (GA-EHBSA) is proposed and utilized with the improvement to have least PMU placement and better optimization approach for finding the optimal location. To evaluate the optimal placement of PMUs the proposed approach is implemented in the standard test systems of IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 24-bus, IEEE 30-bus, IEEE 39-bus and IEEE 57-bus. The simulation results are evaluated and compared with existing algorithm to show the efficient process of optimal PMUs placement with better optimization, minimum cost and redundancy than the existing.


Introduction
Synchronized phasor measurement is a primary technology that can upgrade the monitoring and measurement of critical aspects of the Electric Power System, real time monitoring, control and system state estimation.Synchronized measurements of real-time branch currents and bus voltages are provided by PMU.In 1980s PMUs were introduced and established it as an ultimate data acquisition technology, which is applied in wide area measurement systems with many applications that are currently under development.PMUs access synchronized measurements.These measurements are enabled using global positioning system (GPS) with better accuracy than one microsecond.By sampling the voltage and the current waveforms simultaneously, Synchronicity among PMUs is achieved.
At the same time a common synchronizing signal from the Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to attain synchronicity.To improve the performance of monitoring, control system in various fields phasors from different buses of a power system is obtained with the same time-space.Power system monitoring, operation and management require system state variables estimation; it is generally obtained by state estimation.The main responsibility of the state estimation is obtaining complete and reliable data.This is needed for multiple programs in controlling the power network.Already, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and network of remote terminal units (RTUs) provided state estimators to process measurements which include power flows, injections and bus voltage magnitudes.
The main issue of the SCADA system is difficult in measuring from far distance.Real time power control network requires a real-time wide area monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPAC) system which utilize synchronized measurement technology (SMT).WAMPAC system is enabled by PMUs to contribute real-time measurements of bus voltage and branch current phasors.When the PMUs are installed on all buses, the power system can be completely examined, but this is non-economical because the PMU is a high cost instrument.To reduce the cost the PMU is installed in proper buses.So that the optimal number of PMU is needed to be accessed to obtain an entire observable power in the network desires an appropriate optimization technique which has been widely managed by a number of researchers in recent years [1].
An exact methodology is required to regulate the optimal placements of PMUs in a power system network.A protective action in a power system is included in PMU in addition to its ability to measure voltage and current phasor.The aim of the present paper is curtailed to find out the optimal location of PMUs in power system initially and then the usage of PMUs is estimated for state estimation.
A power system is determined as completely observable only when all the states are uniquely resolved.The intention of the present work is finding the minimum number of PMUs to make the system allegorically observable and also to determine the optimal locations of these PMUs.Still now, there is going on a great research to find the minimum number of PMUs and their optimal locations.
A bisecting search method is achieved to asset the minimum number of PMUs to generate the system completely observable.In bisecting search, to choose the placement set randomly simulated annealing method is employed.To obtain optimal PMU locations, the author uses a simulated annealing technique in their graphtheoretic procedure.In search process, there is a possibility for a placement set to make the system observable and can be overlooked.The optimal PMU locations can be estimated using genetic algorithm.The minimum number of PMUs can be determined by using integer programming.However, this method has a problem of being trapped in local minima.The main disadvantage is that, from the beginning, the method may conclude to have only one single solution, while there is a chance of existing more than one solution.Integer programming cannot handle multiple objectives, such as reducing the PMUs and increasing the measurement redundancy.In this paper, a new approach is proposed to obtain optimal placement of minimum PMUs.To determine the optimal location of the PMUs heuristic search method is engaged.The eventual target lies in finding the minimum number of PMUs and their corresponding locations.The proposed algorithms are developed in MATLAB.The rest of the paper organised in a section wise.In section the related work survey is carried out with the techniques for optimal placement of PMUs.In Section 3, the proposed technique is explained with the implementation and the performance analysis of the proposed approach is presented in Section 4. Finally, the conclusion of the proposed searching approach is presented in Section 5.

In the placement of PMU various cases are represented and zero injection buses are carried out to reduce the needed of PMU.By single failure of PMU makes the reliability of the system with improved.In order to resolve the failure instead of single PMU each bus is considered with two PMUs at least.By using WLS and LAV, the system estimation and the bus system phase angles and voltages are related the PMU with and without.After estimation, it is clear that the LAV is well than WLS and it minimize the errors when including PMU.For the analysis of voltage stability the data are used and processed by using two indices-FVSI and LQP.The possibility study for random selection of lines with a stressful situation is carried out under various condition of operating for obtaining ideas [13].
