I. INTRODUCTION
Secure operation of power systems requires
close monitoring of the system operating conditions. This
is traditionally accomplished by the state estimator which
resides in the control centre computer and has access to
the measurements received from numerous substations in
the monitored system. These measurements are
commonly provided by the remote terminal units (RTU)
at the substations and include real/reactive power flows,
power injections, and magnitudes of bus voltages and
branch currents.Phasor measurement units (PMU) are
devices, which uses synchronization signals from the
global positioning systems (GPS) satellites and provide
the positive sequence phasor voltages and currents
measured in systems.
In [1], a phasor measurement placement method
based on the topological observability theory using graph
theorem analysis is proposed. A minimal number of buses
with measurements is found through both a modified
bisecting search and simulated annealing-based method.
In [2], the PMUs are installed so that the entir\
e system becomes observable while voltages of
all system pilot buses can be monitored in real-time
which increase the speed of voltage control scheme
considerably. The OPP problem was solved using Branch
and Bound algorithm. The optimal PMU placement
(OPP) problem is formulated as to minimize the number
of PMU installation subjecting to full network
observability and enough redundancy [3]. Xu and Abur
employed Integer Programming to solve optimized PMU
placement problem. In order to properly take advantage
of zero injection buses, topology transformation and nonlinear integer programming were tested [4]. The two level
approaches for solving optimal PMU placement in order
to achieve complete observability of the power system is
proposed in [5].The approaches are numerical
observability and topological observability.Numerical
observabiltiy utilizes the gain matrix or the measurement
Jacobian, reflecting the configuration of the
system.However, in case of large power systems, the
measurement matrix may become ill conditioned and may
result in poor computation speed.
On the other hand, the topological observability
based methods e.g. Depth First Search [6], Spanning Tree
method ensures full topological observability, but do not
ensure full ranked measurement Jacobian Matrix. The
algorithm is used to partition the spanning tree of the
network using Integer Linear programming (ILP).The
objective is to minimize the installation cost of PMU. In
[7], a unified approach is proposed for determining the
optimal number and location of PMUs required making
the entire power system observable. It considers the
impacts of both exiting conventional measurements and
the possibility of single or multiple PMU loss into the
decision strategy of the optimal PMU allocation problem.
In [8], an algorithm to identify buses for PMU
placement based on certain requirements. The monitoring
of certain grid events like transmission line failure or
generator failure must be possible from the selected PMU
locations. In addition, the PMU must be distributed
evenly so that the critical parts of the grid are observable.
There should be no or little redundancy in the PMU
readings unless it is intentional to provide additional data
reliability.
This paper describes four methods for phasor
measurement unit placement namely Depth First Search,
Graph Theoretic Procedures, Bisecting Search-Simulated
Annealing and Direct Spanning Tree. A description of the
PMU placement and the results for IEEE 14-Bus system
and the subnetwork of Tamil Nadu are reported.

CONCLUSIONS
This paper solves a generalized integer linear
programming formulation for optimal PMU placement
for the IEEE-14 bus system and different sub networks
for Tamilnadu.we used PSAT to test different
algorithms,before any allocation of PMU,to obtain
optimal PMU placement.Optimal PMU placement
decreases number of PMUs that redounds costs
declining.Using PMU in power system increases
reliability of power system stability.It is therefore
possible to fully monitor the system by using relative less
number of PMUs than the number of system buses.
