Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) allocation in power system with different algorithms

One of the most important measurement devices in power systems is phasor measurement unit (PMU). The PMU is a power system device, capable of measuring the synchronized voltage and current phasor in a power system. In this paper we introduce the PMU and then we acclaim according to the PSAT, MATLAB toolbox, and different algorithms we can allocate the PMU in IEEE 14-bus and 57-bus system simulated, optimally. By comparing them, we found that, we can´t say an algorithm is optimal for all systems. good allocation can reserves the finance and obtain better power network monitoring.
