Abstract The concepts of smart grid and microgrid require new monitoring systems to support automation functionalities in control centers at electrical distribution system (EDS) level. The availability of micro-PMUs (µPMUs) nowadays equips the control centers with the necessary information, which improves the accuracy of distribution system state estimation, for its various applications. Further, a non-configured EDS involves a significant amount of active power losses that causes additional costs to utilities. The work presented in this paper introduces a generalized, two-stage robust methodology for optimal µPMU placement considering reconfiguration of the EDS. This hybrid method combines the Taguchi method and upgraded version of binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) that ultimately provides fast and accurate global optimum. The Taguchi method engenders a more diversified population, which eventually evades premature convergence, and consequently, it makes BPSO more robust. The proposed methodology provides optimal solution for any radial distribution system. Here, for illustration, results obtained for standard IEEE-33 nodes feeder system have been given to demonstrate the behavior and viability of the referred methodology. Various case studies under complex conditions along with the comparative analysis with the existing methods have been carried out to corroborate the superiority and versatility of the proposed methodology.
