Abstract
Utilities operating in weak networks can benefit from Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) installations to improve grid voltage reliability through increased network observability. Multistage placements with long-term full observability seem like a fiscally viable alternative, but are likely to cost more in the end. Here, we focus on the cost-effectiveness of using WAMS in developing countries, especially in terms of fiscal capability. We introduced some limited-budget, limited-channel WAMS placement problems, and discuss some factors affecting continued installations. In the end, we concluded that weak networks can also enjoy the benefits but must be aware of certain practical factors in multistage deployment when budget is of concern.
