Improving the efficiency and continuity of the power distribution system based on phasor measurement units

The paper reviewed the current level of study of micro-phasor measurement units (micro-PMU) technology, and identified the most significant and promising areas within this topic. The paper demonstrates the advantage of these devices in many issues of monitoring, control and protection of distribution systems. In addition, considered the issue of expensive communication infrastructure for communication PMU, as well as determining the best method to find the minimum number and the optimal location of micro-PMU in the network. A methodology based on mixed integer linear programming is proposed to find the optimal location of micro-PMU.
