Message From Vice Chairman

Mr.Abhay Shankar Meganathan Vice Chairman, Rajalakshmi Institutions.

I am happy to note that the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is organiz- ing a second International Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems (ICPERES – 2018) on April 4th& 5th 2018.

Electrical power is the lifeline of any country and it is well known that the per capita power consumption is an indicator for the wellbeing of a nation and that the fast depleting conven- tional sources, which cause increased environmental pollution, would not be able to meet the ever increasing demand for electrical energy. In this context, the quest for cleaner and re- newable energy sources such as wind and solar has considerable implications to the existing power generation, transmission and distribution systems.

It is necessary for the experts from industries and researchers from institutions to get together and articulate the expectations of one another. This could lead to a lot of new ideas, product innovations and newer power installations.

I sincerely hope that the conference would serve as a forum for providing a unique oppor- tunity for the participants to exhibit their research findings. I wish the conference a grand success.

Message From Advisor

C R Muthukrishnan Advisor, Rajalakshmi Institutions.

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Rajalakshmi Engineering College is organizing the second International Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable En- ergy Systems (ICPERES - 2018).

Power Systems comprise Generation, Transmission and Distribution subsystems. Ideal Power Systems provide continuous (non-stop) supply of power at specified parameters – fre- quency, voltage and phase - under widely varying load and other external conditions. Meet- ing this exacting requirement poses many challenges in design, operation, and maintenance drawing heavily upon instrumentation, measurement, feedback and control. Provision of additional capacity to meet growth in demand is a necessity. Many new developments have come up and are continuing in all the three – Generation, Transmission and Distribution.

The Internet of Things (IOT) technology embraces many, if not all, aspects of solution to ad- dress the various problems in the design, operation and maintenance of Power Systems. In contrast to the current platforms/technologies deployed and in use, IOT has the potential to provide an overarching simplicity and flexibility. We may denote this as digitalization of Power System in a total manner. An analogy to capture this would be to look at similar- ity in what is happening to vehicles and transportation systems. The task poses two major challenges - IOT is still evolving (though rapidly) and, in-situ transformation of the present operational power systems with no discontinuity.

ICPERES – 2018 will provide an exciting update of recent progress in the field to delegates and enhance the synergy between Academia (Research) and Industry (Practice).

My Congratulations to the EEE faculty and REC Colleagues in organizing the conference and wish the delegates and invitees a successful Conference.

Message From Principal

Dr.S.N.Murugesan, Principal

On behalf of management of Rajalakshmi Engineering College, I am delighted to welcome you to the Second International conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Sys- tems (ICPERES 2018) organized by the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering during 4-5 April 2018.

The compelling need for eco-friendly renewable energy sources has been the driving force for several remarkable advancements in the fields of electricity generation and utilization. In India, solar and wind energy capacity has been nearly tripled from 3.4 GW to 12 GW and with continued research, this capacity will further get enhanced.

I sincerely hope ICPERES 2018 certainly paves a global platform for researchers, engineers, academicians and students to present and discuss their research ideas, recent innovations and practical challenges encountered in the applications of Power Electronics in Renewable Energy Systems.

My hearty congratulations to Organizing committee members and students of Department of EEE and I appreciate their tremendous efforts in organizing the conference. I am sure that the conference ICPERES 2018 would be very productive and enlightening for all the participants.

I wish the conference all success.

Abstract: Voltage is a fundamental parameter in the quality of power supply, which may rise or drop depending on the reactive power balance in the system and hence it has become extremely important to manage reactive power balance for voltage control in off grid hybrid power system (OGHPS). Test system considered in this work has wind power generation, Photo-Voltaic (PV) system with inverter, diesel engine and composite load. Over-rated PV inverter has ample amount of VAR capacity while sourcing PV real power. This paper presents voltage control through reactive power support by PV inverter. Inverter control structure has proportional-integral (PI) controller tuned by Adaptive Neuro- fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Small signal mathematical model of all components of OGHPS with intelligent control developed herein is simulated in SIMULINK and tested for reactive load and supply disturbances for voltage regulation characteristics. Voltage and other state variables, obtained separately from PI with fixed gain as well as PI gains tuned by ANFIS are tested to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent voltage control algorithm.

Design of Optimal Linear Quadratic Regulator for the Stabilization of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) Process

S. Sundari Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Pondicherry Engineering College, Puducherry, India, Dr. Alamelu Nachiappan Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Pondicherry Engineering College, Puducherry, India,

Abstract: Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is widely used in chemical industries. Chemical reactions in a reactor are either exothermic or endothermic and therefore require that energy either to be removed or added to the reactor to maintain constant temperature. This paper deals with the stabilization of CSTR using optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method. Since the performance of the LQR controller mainly depends on the state and control weighting matrices (Q and R), it is necessary to select them optimally and are done based on trial and error method, which makes the controller design cumbersome also time consuming. Hence, to address the selection of weighting matrices problem of LQR, Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) method is proposed. The matrices Q and R are determined from the optimized algorithm. Performance indices like ISE (integral squared error) and IAE (integral absolute error) are considered to evaluate the optimally tuned values of controller parameters. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of LQR method, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) based LQR and conventional PID controller (tuned by Ziegler-Nichols method). Simulation results show that the proposed controller has better closed loop response in terms of ISE and IAE values.

K. Dilavar Basha1, R. Karthik2, M. Giridharan3, A. Arun Selvan4, G.N. Kalyan kumar5 Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, RMKCET Puduvoyal.

Abstract: Distributed Generation (DG) system has brought new challenges for protection engineers since standard relay settings of traditional system may no longer function properly in the system. The extreme case is coordination loss between primary and backup relays. The directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) which is the most implemented protective device in the electrical network also suffers performance degradation in presence of DG. Distribution networks are evolving towards the vision of smart grids, with increasing penetration of Adaptive penetration Scheme (APS) using Differential evolution algorithm (DE). This paper presents an adaptive over current protection system which automatically amends the protection settings of all over MHO relays in response to the impact of directional relay. In this project we are using FFT analysis for smart grids.

Abstract: Energy conservation is a topical issue and this design serves an efficient method of doing so. The design was originally conceived to meet the energy needs of those living in rural areas, due to poor access to electricity. Most persons living in these rural areas possess at least a cell phone but lack the means to charge them. This goal will be accomplished by designing a safe and sturdy human powered stationary bicycle that produces DC energy. The power generator was designed to be simple, cheap, durable and easily maintained. Its purpose is to efficiently transfer the human foot motion via a pedal and sprocket-chain step-up to drive a 24V DC permanent magnet generator. It makes use of power electronic converters which is needed to charge low voltage devices like low charging domestic applications. Bicycle Power Generators are not a new idea, with many created by hobbyist for residential use with small scale energy in mind, to charge batteries in case of a power outage or natural disaster. We are looking to expand upon these designs and use a DC generator that will convert human power into electrical power. The objective is to build a device that is safer and more power efficient. This machine is widely used to generate electric power, to operate various home appliances, to drive water pump, harvesting activities in agriculture sector and simultaneously useful for physical fitness of operator.

Abstract: In growing modern world, energy requirement in the day to day life plays a significant role for human livelihood. Simultaneously the decaying of fossil fuels creates the awareness of nonconventional energy utilization. In this regard, the government of India appreciates the low to large level Photo Voltaic (PV) based grid connected power generation. Even though solar panels are installed in many places in India, the full installed capacity may not be utilized during low irradiation and poor weather conditions. The proposed project focuses on the solution to this problem. The existing system integrates 0.4kw/m2 and above, while the proposed system has a minimum of 0.2kw/m2 irradiations irradiation of level using Maximum Power Point extraction (MPPT) technique. Hence the overall energy extraction from PV units/month is significantly improved. The proposed model will be developed using simulation studies employing suitable software package and experimentally evaluated with necessary hardware prototype module.

7 ICPERES 2018 Dual Battery Operation of Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Gayathiri S, Nagaraj A J, Hari Krishnan J and Sivagami.V Department of EEE Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai

Abstract: A novel approach presented here is converting an existing vehicle into a hybrid vehicle by simply adding one more battery and a motor. By doing this new proposal the existing vehicle itself will be modified into a hybrid vehicle and used effectively and efficiently. Compared to a completely new hybrid vehicle, the cost of the vehicle is also reduced. In addition to this, a new approach is done, which is to isolate the engine from the wheel. Here engine is used only for charging the batteries. Therefore engine drives the generator at constant current, so that battery can be charged effectively because of constant current from the generator and also continuous utilization of engine is not necessary. But engine is used only when the solar energy is unavailable or during night times. Other advantages are usage of dual batteries increases the life time of the vehicle, better mileage than the existing vehicle and reduced fuel consumption. Because of less fuel consumption the exhaust gas from the vehicle is also reduced.

Abstract: This paper proposes fault detection in a transformer using the “INTERNET OF THINGS” (IoT) technology. Uninterrupted power supply is the most important criteria for proper working of the power system. All the equipment in the power system play an important role in generation of electricity. Transformer is one of the key equipment in the power system and hence in this project transformer protection is given more importance. A normal1:1transformer is being employed which has a specification of 230V and 50VA. A transient fault is manually introduced inthe Transformer by switching on and switching off the transformer for a time period of 3 seconds. The output waveform from the transformer secondary is sensed during a Hall Effect sensor and is amplified using a DIGITAL CLASS C AMPLIFIER. The amplified output is given to a software named SIGVIEW which graphically represents the change in output voltage of the transformer and the distorted waves are being recorded. The waveforms are continuously analysed using DWT” (DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM) which decomposes the output waveform into mutually orthogonal set of wavelets. “DWT” gives precise and accurate digital results. These results will be eventually displayed using an IoT device. This enables faster and accurate fault detection and communication of the data to the control room for subsequent rectification.

Abstract: The harmful practice of manual operations inside manhole is still being practiced in many locations. Many unfortunate deaths are occurring due to improper safety measures by workers who enter the manhole without detecting the presence of poisonous gas. So, it is really important to analyze the gas and take precautions before entering into the manhole. Because of number of mixtures of toxic gases like Carbon-monoxide (CO), Hydrogen

Sulfide(H2S) and explosive gases like Methane(CH4), which causes suffocation, gas poisoning, and gas explosion. To resolve such issues, a portable, simple manhole gas detection E-helmet has been designed which is capable of detecting the poisonous gases like carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and methane and if any critical condition occurs, the buzzer gives an alarm. This E-helmet will also monitor hazardous gases, temperature level and humidity level in the air inside the manhole and alert the people outside the manhole by using zig-bee, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile (GSM) and monitor the system using Internet of Things(IoT).

Syed Shahbaaz Ahmed, Sai Shankar, Sriram, M.G. Umamaheswari Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai

Abstract: This paper elucidates the implementation of a low cost non-intrusive residential energy monitoring system with an intelligent user feedback and control. The system was designed using open- source hardware and off-the-shelf components. A rapid increase in energy consumption in the past decade, especially in developing countries has led to an increase in the cost of energy consumption. This gives rise for the need to manage the energy efficiently. The proposed system aims to address this problem using Non- Intrusive Load Monitoring approach (NILM), by tracking the energy consumed by the residential household and alerting the users through their cellular devices based on the usage limits imposed by the user. The user can also receive customized alerts when an appliance has been switched ON. In training phase, the average current of each load is measured and stored in a Look-Up Table (LUT). During run-time, the average current is measured and the Euclidean distance between the measured current and each value in LUT is found. If the load with least value of Euclidean distance is under the set tolerance level, then that particular load is said to be identified. The user receives continuous information about the number of units consumed as well as the electricity bill which is calculated based on the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) tariff. This can then be used to monitor and control the energy consumption more intelligently, thus effectively managing the cost and consumption

Abstract: The economic power dispatch is an integral part of the power system, and the major roles of its use are for achieving a reliable and efficient operation out of power system generation networks, and this operation should be obtained by minimizing the generator fuel cost. Getting optimal solutions to EPD problem requires efficient optimization algorithms. Novel Bat Algorithm is one of the most recent methods and it has already proven its efficiency and reliability for solving the EPD problem. This paper proposes Novel Bat Algorithm in order to solve the economic dispatch problem based on the large scale power system. This algorithm has proved its efficiency and it gave a perfect performance for small-scale systems compared with the original Bat algorithm (BA), because of considering the Doppler Effect and assumed that bat can move between various habitats. The study of economic dispatch for large- scale systems is more important than study it for small ones, because all power systems in countries are considered large networks. This is why all modern studies focus on the study of large systems. To test the performance of algorithm during small and large scale system, it has applied to many systems, including 3, 6, 31-Iraqi thermal units and IEEE 40-thermal units respectively, with transmission losses and generator limits, and a comparison of the obtained results has been achieved with other optimization methods. The Iraqi thermal units have been utilized as a new data.

Abstract: The objective of this work is to implement a two stage micro-inverter with reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and increased efficiency. The first stage consists of a DC-DC boost converter, followed by the DC-AC inverter stage. A typical solar panel converts only 30 to 40 percent of the incident solar irradiation into electrical energy. To increase the conversion efficiency, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms (Perturb & Observe, Incremental Conductance) have been simulated in PSIM software and better tracking efficiency was observed with the Incremental Conductance algorithm. To reduce the harmonics of the output voltage of the inverter in the second stage, different inverter topologies namely H5, HERIC and push-pull have been simulated and H5 is found to have higher efficiency and lesser distortion. In order to control the switching pattern of the inverter, the pulse width modulation strategies such as Unipolar , Bipolar, Saw tooth and Inverted Sine have been analyzed and the micro-inverter with lesser harmonic distortion have been suggested for power quality improvement. Simulation studies are carried out in PSIM software and the results are validated.

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of wind-driven three phase squirrel cage induction generator. This three phase induction generator is connected with a capacitor bank for reactive power compensation and it feeds a three phase non-linear load and a phase-phase connected rectifier supplying RL load. The analysis of three phase induction generator with unbalanced non-linear load is analyzed, since the real power generated by the induction generator depends on the reactive power absorption. This absorption of reactive power changes according to the inductive reactance (Xm). This reactance Xm changes with load impedances. Therefore, when the load changes the real power generated by the induction generator also changes. This results in the change of reactive power. The dynamic model of the three phase induction motor, modelling of three phase rectifier with RL load and phase-phase connected rectifier have been analyzed for unbalanced loads. These analyses are simulated for island mode of operation and the results are compared using MATLAB. Experiments were conducted and the results show that the three phase currents of the induction generator contains harmonic components and the waveforms are distorted.

Abstract: Fossil fuels are fast depleting, necessitating the use of renewable energy sources. In this context, the modern power electronic based electrical and electronic equipment plays a significant role in our day to day life also the power generation and demand estimation are generally mismatched with the forecasting. Hence in each and every residence the usage of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has become essential. Moreover the storage of electricity is difficult for higher value of ampere hour rating. There is also a problem of differential costing for the power delivered to the grid by the installed renewable sources and the power taken from the grid. To avoid this problem, this paper proposes HYBRID UPS system management. This objective of the system is the proper power balance between the main grid source, PV power system, wind energy and residential load.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new control algorithm for communicating and comparing the power quality related parameters using a Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) driven by a Space Vector PWM (SVPWM). The scheme incorporates a self-tuned fuzzy PID controller driving the space vector PWM for providing a better performance in terms of small overshoots and rise time. Also this scheme ensures a greater reduction in the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at the load terminals during nominal operation, which is not possible using the existing method. For providing faster voltage regulation during voltage disturbances a Deadbeat predictive controller is built-in with DSTATCOM. A reference voltage is generated with this algorithm to the DSTATCOM thus reducing the losses at the feeders and maintaining UPF. The fastest response of DSTATCOM inculcating the above features makes it an efficient solution for improving the power quality related issues in a distribution system in terms of achieving UPF, voltage sag compensation and also real and reactive power compensation are discussed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed technique of power quality improvement is validated through detailed simulation and tentative results.

Abstract: Due to ever increasing demand for electrical power, there is a need to go in for large scale installation of solar panels and associated electronic converter for augmenting the grid capacity. The solar power can be conveniently utilized for supplying isolated loads also. In such cases, the DC output of solar photovoltaic (SPV) system is connected with the load through the power converter.

Abstract- Power electronic devices introduce voltage harmonics during integration of renewable energy sources. The nature of the renewable energy sources has an effect on the system operation that is voltage and frequency, harmonics and power quality and also influences the overall performance of the power system. A two-stage cascaded switched-diode (CSD) multilevel inverter is proposed for renewable energy integration. It can produce more voltage levels with a less number of switches. The main objective is to reduce the number of switches along with its driver circuit. Thus, the installation area and expenditure of a multilevel inverter are reduced. By shifting the clock pulse phase of every cascaded unit, the staircase-like output voltage waveforms are obtained and fluctuations in the dc sources are reduced. The feasibility and performance of the two-stage CSD multilevel inverter is demonstrated using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation models.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new, improved zero-current switched (ZCS) and zero-voltage switched (ZVS) DC/DC converter with a standard nine level inverter. The proposed converter achieves ZCS turn-on by implementing coupled-inductors, for their leakage inductance, as well as ZVS turn-off, by employing a snubber capacitor and diode. Minimal losses through conduction are ensured through the inclusion of a voltage multiplier and coupled inductors. Continuous conduction method (CCM) is employed, for a duty cycle greater than 0.5, which ensures that the switching range is not load dependent. The two phase converter is built entirely without the use of auxiliary switches. A high voltage gain and a simple structure make this converter novel for renewable energy applications. The nine level inverter used ensures lower total harmonic distortion, and has an inherent self-voltage balancing ability. The converter/inverter is built to work with a 12V DC input, such as a simple solar panel, and produce a 320V AC output.

Abstract: In this paper, the circuit topology integrates a novel single-switch resonant inverter with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) with an energy-blocking diode with zero-current switching (ZCS). The energy-blocking diode with a direct-current output filter filters the output stage of the novel single-switch resonant inverter. Only one active power switch is used for power energy conversion to reduce the cost of active power switches and control circuits. The active power switch is controlled by pulse width modulation at a fixed switching frequency and a constant duty cycle. When the resonant converter is operated at discontinuous conduction mode, the inductor current through the resonant tank could achieve ZCS of the energy-blocking diode. Accordingly, high energy conversion efficiency is ensured. Operating principles are derived, and analyses are carried out based on the equivalent circuits for the proposed power converter under different operating modes. The operating principles of the converter were verified using a 32.4-W 70-kHz experimental photovoltaic-powered load system. Given appropriately chosen circuit parameters, the active power switch can be operated with ZVS, and a measured energy conversion efficiency of the proposed topology of 97.3% can be achieved. Experimental results demonstrate a satisfactory performance of the proposed topology, which is particularly suited to the energy conversion applications in renewable energy generation systems.

Abstract: Constant monitoring of patient’s health condition in hospital is either manual or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi)-based system. Generally in ICUs, nurses are taking care of abnormalities and the health of the patient but they may not be available for taking care of patient’s health 24X7, so sometimes in absence of care taker may exacerbate the condition. So in order to extirpate these critical conditions, we have proposed a system which is an application of Li-Fi network in the hospital for monitoring the patient’s conditions such as temperature, pressure, heartbeat, using respective sensors. Li-Fi is a new paradigm for short range wireless technology to provide unprecedented connectivity within a localized data centric environment. The technology works by adapting light emitting diode (LED’s) to send digital type of information, invisible to the Human eye. If any abnormality has been detected, it automatically alert the In charge. This safety system can be used in automation of hospitals, houses etc. The advantage of this automated detection/alarm system is that it offers faster response time and accurate detection of an emergency in turn leading to faster diffusion of the situation, compared to manual methods.

Nirmal kumar2, R.Prashanth3, S.Mohamed sharik4 2,3, 4Student, Department of Electrical Engineering Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai. [email protected] ABSTRACT-Mobility encompasses an individuals ability to move his or her body within an environment or between environments and the ability to manipulate objects. Collectively, these activities enable the individual to pursue life activities of their choosing. An individuals ability to perform any mobility task can be compromised by impaired body functions or structures. The proposed system mainly focuses on the transfemoral type. Above-knee amputation (AKA), or transfemoral amputation, in which both the knees are amputated above the knee joint. The surgeon shapes the remaining limb to allow thebest use of a prosthetic leg after recovery. But not everyone is capable to use prosthetic legs as they have their own concerns. The proposed system aims to develop a mobility system for such persons with system clearance nearly 6 inches from ground level, at standstill, so that the amputees can use their hands to get onto the system and perform transition without the help of the caretaker. Horizontal and vertical transitions are included into the system. The horizontal transition is realized using wheels controlled by an electric motor (Wheel Hub Motor) at constant speed. At standstill condition the amputees can elevate themselves using vertical transition. This aids them in performing needful activities at a considerable height above the ground level. Vertical movement is implemented using scissor lift technique actuated by an electric motor (PMDC Motor). Vertical transition height is restricted to two feet in order to ensure the safety.

Abstract: In recent years, power converters are used to improve the power factor. Majority of the applications involving electronic circuitry requires a regulated DC supply. Since the commonly available supply is AC, a suitable AC-DC converter becomes mandatory. The AC-DC converters involve a number of non-linear devices which introduces harmonics in the power system leading to adverse effects like reduction in power factor (PF), more power losses results in low efficiency. So in order to improve the PF, the Power Factor Correction (PFC) method is employed. This paper investigates various power converter topologies like Boost, Buck-Boost, Forward and Flyback for PFC. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Performance parameters like Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Power Factor (PF), Distortion Factor (DF) and Displacement Factor are computed and a comparative analysis is made between them.

Abstract: Normally premature neonates and infants are sensitive to pain due to external stress and environmental interventions when they are away from their mother. This will lead to increase in both behavioural and physiological stress for the infants. Pharmacological treatment is available but it depends on the administration of drug and therapy given to an infant. To overcome these issues an innovative non-pharmacological treatment is adopted using maternal characteristics. Present work aims at providing comfort to the infants that suffer from pain, by providing solutions through maternal characteristics obtained using sensors. It also in reverse sense the baby cries by sound sensor and transfer this information to the mother for necessary care. The system architecture consists of suitable sensors for monitoring vital parameters, a microcontroller and GSM interface. This involves a non-invasive technique, based on the GSM network embedded with wireless sensing and processing device. The communication is done through Short Message Service (SMS) to indicate the status of the infant to the mother. The proposed system will absolutely reduce the discomfortness of an infant by transferring the maternal pulse via the bed. This makes the infants feels like as if they are close to their mother and their health condition is also monitored, with the help of an intelligent bed.

Abstract: The use of smart parking systems has become very essential especially for metropolitan areas. As the urban population is increasing, more and more cars plying on the roads, search for suitable parking spaces which results in heavy traffic congestion. Conventional parking lots are presently handled human beings to assess the current capacity of a parking lot. To alleviate the parking problems, smart parking systems must be implemented. In this project, an automated car parking system using microcontroller is proposed. The available slots for parking are displayed on a LCD display by using IR sensors installed at the entrance and exit. The capacity will be checked dynamically, and the gate opens only if there is a space in the parking lot. A similar check is done every time a car exits the parking lot. Personnel cost can be reduced considerably using this technology.

[email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a graph theory approach based optimization for placement of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using Binary Genetic Algorithm (BGA). PMU is considered as a promising tool in wide area monitoring, protection and control of power system networks. The optimal PMU placement (OPP) problem is formulated as a minimization function to minimize the number of PMUs installed for complete network observability, considering maximum measurement redundancy at the power system buses. To reduce the computational burden and to save the memory space in forming the connectivity matrix, graph theory based approaches such as Depth-First Search, Breadth-First Search and Minimum Spanning Tree were used. The proposed method is implemented for two possible cases namely (1) without conventional measurement and (2) Islanding condition. The feasibility is tested on IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus and Tamil Nadu grid system using Matlab Software. The results obtained from the proposed graph theory approach based OPP using BGA is compared with the conventional binary integer linear programming (BILP). The results reveal that the proposed method reduces the number of PMUs and maximizes the measurement redundancy, ensuring the complete observability of the power system.
