Optimal PMU Placement in Power System Based on Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization

The present paper deals with solving the optimal phasor measurement units (PM Us) placement (OPP) problem based on binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) method. The proposed approach is applied to different size standards test IEEE systems such as 14-bus, 24-bus, 30-bus and 39 bus. the obtained results proves the advantage of the presented algorithm for finding the optimal placement of the PMU s in the network to achieve monitoring task of the whole power system network.
