Optimal Placement of PMUs by Integer Linear Programming

This letter presents a simple optimal placement algorithm of phasor measurement units (PMU) by using integer linear programming. Cases with and without conventional power flow and injection measurements are considered. The measurement placement problems under those cases are formulated as an integer linear programming which saves the CPU computation time greatly. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in practice.
