Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are important devices for protection,\nmonitoring, and control of modern power systems. Unlike the supervisory control\nand data acquisition (SCADA) system which only measure the magnitude, PMUs can\nprovide a set of synchronized phasor measurements with high sampling rate with\nthe accuracy of less than one second, for better system monitoring especially\nduring the outages. Since the PMUs are costly devices, system operator is not\nable to install a PMU at each bus to maximize the observability of system. To\nthis end, determination of the number of PMUs in the system for having a 100%\nobservability is pivotal. In this paper, honey bee mating optimization (HBMO)\napproach is utilized to allocate PMUs in modern power systems. Moreover, the\nimpact of line outages, as well as measurement loses, are considered. The\nsimulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method on solving the\nPMU placement problem.\n
