Effect of synchronized Phasor Measurement Units Locations on power system state estimation

The phasors readings of the phasor measurement units (PMUs) are taken into consideration in state estimation analysis. The paper presents the effect of changing the locations and numbers of PMUs through the buses of the power network on the system state estimation results. A computer program is built and tested on 14- bus IEEE standard system. Also it is applied on a system depicted from the Egyptian electrical power network. The simulation results are discussed in details.
