Optimal Configuration of PMU in Power System

Abstract:

In order to use the least number of phasor measurement unit (PMU) to guarantee the power system completely observable, an optimal PMU configuration method in power system was put forward. The pre-configuration of PMU was done considering the actual situation of power grid. The genetic algorithm (GA) was used for PMU configuration. Modify the formulae of crossover probability and mutation probability in traditional genetic algorithm to overcome the evolutionary stagnation when the maximum fitness value and the average fitness value in group were equal. The improved adaptive genetic algorithm (IAGA) was obtained. In order to eliminate the premature convergence of GA resulted from the chance and randomness of the crossover operation and mutation operation, the preventing premature operation was introduced. This method combined the IAGA and the preventing premature operation. It has good global astringency, and it can ensure the network complete observability with the minimum number of PMU.
