Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) are essential parts of smart grids. There
are several algorithms to determine the placement of these units for optimal
observability of the system. In this paper two different hybrid methods and
Integer Linear Programming method have been used for the placement of PMUs in
the power system of Afghanistan. One of the hybrid approaches presented here is
based on the combination of the Greedy and Breadth First Search algorithms. The
other one is based on the Binary Search and Global Search algorithms. The power
system of Afghanistan has been slightly modified to include the renewable
energy sources. Results obtained have been compared between each other. The
result of these algorithms are more proper than other algorithms like Depth
First Search, Genetic Algorithm, Partial Swarm Algorithm and Binary Search algorithms that have been compared by other authors on IEEE test
systems.
