Optimal PMU Placement Method for Active Distribution Networks Considering Wideband Oscillation Modal Energy Weighting
[Objective] To address the sub-synchronous wideband oscillation problem caused by the high penetration of grid-forming distributed energy resources in active distribution networks， traditional phasor measurement unit （PMU） placement methods based on pure topology suffer from severe dynamic monitoring blind spots. Therefore， an optimal PMU placement method considering wideband oscillation modal energy weighting is proposed. [Methods] This paper establishes a high-order nonlinear differential-algebraic equation model of an active distribution network containing multiple virtual synchronous generators （VSGs） to accurately screen high-risk wideband target modes by extracting the system state-space matrix. Subsequently， a modal energy-weighted Fisher information matrix （FIM） is formulated based on modal eigenvectors and the inverse of the damping ratio， enabling the quantitative evaluation of the spatial localization characteristics of nodal wideband dynamic observability. Building upon this， an improved greedy placement algorithm integrating dynamic FIM scores and static topological gains is proposed， incorporating a spatial large-adjacency penalty mechanism to strictly ensure the global dispersion of measurement nodes. [Results] Tests on a modified IEEE 33-node extreme weak-ring network demonstrate that， under the strict investment constraint of K=14， the proposed method achieves a significant advantage in capturing total wideband dynamic energy compared to traditional integer linear programming （ILP） and unweighted FIM algorithms. The comprehensive observability for the worst-case mode consistently exceeds the safety margin. Both time-domain reconstructed waveforms and empirical mode decomposition-Hilbert-Huang transform （EMD-HHT） frequency-domain integrations verify that the method effectively eliminates the transient monitoring blind spots inherent in traditional configurations. Furthermore， across 50 Monte Carlo parameter perturbation tests， the system maintains exceptional robustness with zero failures. [Conclusions] The proposed method breaks through the physical limitations of pure topological placement， overcomes the low-frequency bias trap of conventional full-state algorithms， and accurately identifies the antinodes of wideband resonant energy. It achieves superior robustness in full-band dynamic perception while ensuring a full-rank static topology， providing rigorous theoretical support for the planning of wide-area dynamic monitoring systems in next-generation distribution networks.

Objectives To improve the new energy consumption capacity of the power grid, reduce operational costs for power generation companies, and address issues such as increased network losses and reduced new energy consumption when large-scale renewable energy is integrated into the distribution networks, an economic scheduling strategy for active distribution networks with the inclusion of the coordinated scheduling of data center (DC) and energy storage is proposed. Methods Firstly, by utilizing the spatiotemporal adjustability of DC and the role of energy storage devices in alleviating the imbalance between grid supply and demand, the coordinated scheduling of DC and energy storage is fully leveraged to achieve peak shaving and valley filling. Secondly, the search performance of the sparrow search algorithm is improved by incorporating Tent Chaos initialization and multi-population competition mechanisms into the algorithm. Then, considering the impact of time-of-use pricing on the demand response mechanism, the model is optimized using an improved sparrow search algorithm under constraints such as energy storage costs and operational costs, aiming to achieve the optimal matching of flexible loads and new energy. Finally, the improved IEEE 30 and IEEE 33 node systems are taken as examples to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Results The proposed cooperative scheduling strategy can effectively reduce the overall operational costs of the distribution networks and improve the new energy consumption rate. Conclusions The strategy can provide some reference value for the related research of economic dispatch of distribution network. |

This study optimizes the placement of μ-PMUs using the BPSO and BGWO algorithms for the IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus systems, with a focus on minimizing deployment costs while ensuring robust system observability. Three case studies are analysed: Case 1 (normal conditions), Case 2 (single μ-PMU outage), and Case 3 (Zero Injection Buses, ZIBs). In Case 1, both algorithms identified 24 μ-PMUs as the optimal placement for the IEEE 69-bus system, achieving the minimum PMUs required for full observability. For Case 2, redundancy requirements increased the μ-PMU count to 24 μ-PMUs for the IEEE 33-bus system and 51 μ-PMUs for the IEEE 69-bus system, ensuring full observability even under a single μ-PMU failure. Case 3, leveraging Zero Injection Buses (ZIBs), reduced the μ-PMU count to 20 μ-PMUs for both BPSO and BGWO, optimizing the system configuration while maintaining observability. A trade-off analysis was performed to examine the trade-off between redundancy and PMU count, showing that increasing the number of μ-PMUs improves system resilience. Voltage and current channels were measured from the optimized placements to ensure accurate voltage measurement in all case studies. Subsequently, the Weighted Least Squares algorithm was applied for voltage estimation, serving as a peripheral to the main objective of the optimal μ-PMU placement. Voltage estimation was conducted under three noise levels: 0.01 STD for basic analysis and 0.02 and 0.04 STD to observe the impact of varying measurement noise. The results highlight that higher μ-PMU placements improve voltage estimation accuracy, particularly under higher noise levels. Statistical analysis confirms that BGWO outperforms BPSO in terms of computational efficiency, stability, and convergence, especially in large-scale systems. By enhancing grid monitoring and state estimation, this research directly contributes to the development of more resilient and efficient power networks, which is a fundamental prerequisite for integrating renewable energy sources and advancing overall power system sustainability. This research emphasizes the balance between cost and reliability in μ-PMU placement and provides a comprehensive methodology for state estimation in modern power systems.
