Optimal PMU placement for power system state estimation with random component outages

Abstract Phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide globally synchronized measurements of voltage and current phasors in real-time and at a high sampling rate. Hence, they permit improving the state estimation performance in power systems. In this paper we propose a novel method for optimal PMU placement in a power system suffering from random component outages (RCOs). In the proposed method, for a given RCO model, the optimal PMU locations are chosen to minimize the state estimation error covariance. We consider both static and dynamic state estimation. To reduce the complexity, the search for the optimal PMU locations is constrained to the set of locations guaranteeing topological observability. We present numerical results showing the application and scalability of our method using the IEEE 9-bus, 14-bus, 39-bus and 118-bus systems.
