Optimal Placement of PMU with Complete Observability using Genetic Algorithm

Phasor Measurement Units(PMUs), play a pivotal role in controlling, monitoring, and protection of electrical networks. Achieving complete observability while minimizing the number of PMUs installed is a key consideration during PMU placement. This paper focus on Genetic Algorithm-based approaches for optimizing PMU placement to ensure full observability. The proposed technique is simulated using MATLAB on IEEE-57 bus systems. In addition, the obtained result is compared with the results of traditional methods.
