Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are considered as a promising tool for future monitoring, protection and control of power systems. One of the applications of phasor measurements is state estimation. The first step in state estimation is to gather measured data from different substations in a power network. These measurements must be sufficient to make the system observable. This book adopts three algorithms for minimizing the size of the PMU configuration while allowing full observability of the network; Depth First Search (DFS), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Minimum Spanning Tree (MST)...
