Abstract

Blackout is complete shutdown of power network. This paper present an optimal phasor measurement unit\nplacement model considering one of the practical constraint of channel limit in power system intentional islanding so that\npower network remain observable under intentionally islanded scenario as well as in normal operating condition. Optimizing\nnumber of installed PMU and to have maximum measurement redundancy in normal as well as in intentionally islanded\ncondition with constraint of channel limit is proposed in this paper. Finally, different IEEE standard systems and a practical\nIndian UPSEB 75-bus system are taken to validate the given algorithm. The algorithm is generic and can be applied to any\nother intentional islanding schemes.
