The growing demand for electricity makes the power grid ever expanding day by day and more and more complex. There is a potential requirement to continuously monitor the power grid and thus making it smarter and reliable. Traditional measurement systems are getting replaced by PMUs, which enables the online monitoring of the power system. With the aid of GPS, PMUs can measure the phasor values of voltages at the bus, where it is placed and the current through the branches connected to that bus. The Current measurement enables us to estimate the voltages at the neighbouring buses. Because of this, placing PMUs at all buses for the complete monitoring of the power system is redundant. Finding the optimal locations of PMUs to make the power system completely observable is of great research interest. This paper proposes the optimal locations of PMU in Tamil Nadu state of Indian power grid using ILP. PMU placement problem has been formulated and optimization has been carried out. Results showing the various optimal locations are tabulated.
