Power system state estimation is used to represent real time power system status. The states are defined as
the voltage magnitude and the phase angle at every bus in the system, which are estimated using the measurements of
electrical quantities. This paper presents a linear model of power system state estimator for IEEE-14 bus test system,
using the measurements obtained from phasor measurement unit. The PMUs are optimally placed in the system such that
minimum number of PMUs is required and the observability of the system is maintained.
