Abstract

Due to the size and complexity of power network and the cost of monitoring and telecommunication equipment, it is unfeasible to monitor the whole system variables. All system analyzers use voltages and currents of the network. Thus, monitoring scheme plays a main role in system analysis, control, and protection. To monitor the whole system using distributed measurements, strategic placement of them is needed. This paper improves a topological circuit observation method to minimize essential monitors. Besides the observability under normal condition of power networks, the observability of abnormal network is considered. Consequently, a high level of system reliability is carried out. In terms of reliability constraint, identification of bad measurement data in a given measurement system by making theme sure to be detectable is well done. Furthermore, it is maintained by a certain level of reliability against the single-line outages. Thus, observability is satisfied if all possible single line outages are plausible. Consideration of these limitations clears the role of utilizing an optimization algorithm. Hence, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to minimize monitoring cost and removing unobservable states under abnormal condition, simultaneously. The algorithm is tested in IEEE 14 and 30-bus test systems and Iranian (Mazandaran) Regional Electric Company.
