Application of a genetic algorithm to meter allocation in electric power systems

Intelligent Placement of Meters / Sensors for Shipboard Power System Analysis

“…In references [14][15][16], a genetic algorithm is employed to design a metering system on terrestrial systems. In [14] and [15], a meter placement scheme is developed without considering critical measurements.…”

“…In [14] and [15], a meter placement scheme is developed without considering critical measurements. In reference [16], however, critical measurements and critical sets are determined and the genetic algorithm is mainly used to achieve a trade-off between investment cost and reliability of state estimation.…”

“…Also a study and comparison of different algorithms used for metering of the power system in references [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] has…”
