Optimal µPMU Placement Considering Node Importance and Multiple Deployed Monitoring Devices in Distribution Networks by Ruifeng Zhao, Jiangang Lu, Yizhe Chen, Yifan Gao, Kai Gan, Ming Li, Chengzhi Wei, Runhong Huang, Fan Xiao, Liang Che

“…To address this issue, a micro phasor measurement unit placement method that considers the observability of multiple monitoring devices and node importance is proposed in this paper, which, on the one hand, fully considers the impact of the observability of existing monitoring devices on the micro phasor measurement units placement scheme and reduces the number of micro phasor measurement units that are used to achieve global observability, and, on the other hand, gives priority to placing the micro phasor measurement units at important nodes in the distribution network that are closely related to observation stability, improving the observation performance of the system. …”
