Abstract

Appropriate placement of synchrophasor meters will save huge capital investment and give improved wide area monitoring, control, and protection. Being costly and having flexible channel capacity, the synchrophasor meters should be placed judiciously in the network to avoid unnecessary expenses. In this paper, the practical cost assessment of phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement has been done for different placement strategies considering different network contingencies for the first time. Cost study has further been investigated for the placement strategies in the presence/absence of dual-use line relays (DULRs). Different combinations of synchrophasor measurement meters (PMU and DULR) along with channel limitation property of the meters have been utilized to minimize the cost of observability. Modified Binary Symbiotic Organisms Search (MBSOS) has been used for the first time to solve the optimal PMU placement (OPP) problem. The simulated results show that the proposed method can give techno-economical solutions for various synchrophasor meter placement (SMP) strategies.
