Abstract:
This paper describes a sensor placement algorithm for real-time parallel power flow computations for transmission networks. In particular, Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) can be such sensors. Graph partitioning is used to decompose the system into several subsystems and to locate sensors in an efficient way. Power flow calculations are then run in parallel for each area. Test results on the IEEE 118- and 300-bus systems show that the proposed approach is suitable for real-time applications.
