3. Introduction Electric power companies need to monitor the state of their power system. Let G = (V, E) represents a power system – A vertex ： an electric node (a substation bus) – An edge ： a transmission line joining two nodes One method of monitoring the system is to place phase measurement units (PMUs) in the power system. 3

4. Each PMU is placed on one vertex, and the observation rules of an PMU are as follows: – (1) The vertex where a PMU is placed and its incident edges are observed. – (2) The vertex that is incident to an observed edge is observed. – (3) The edge joining two observed vertices is observed. – (4) If a vertex is incident to k>1 edges and k-1 edges are observed, then the remaining edge is observed. 4

5. Example: 5

6. The system is observed if all vertices and edges are observed by a set of PMUs. G=(V,E), S is a power dominating set (PDS) if all vertices and edges are observed by S. The minimum cardinality of a power dominating set of G is called power domination number, denoted by 6

7. Simpler version for power domination: all vertices and edges are observed if and only if all vertices are observed. – (1) The vertex where a PMU is placed is observed. – (2) All neighbors of the vertex where the PMU is placed are observed. – (3) If a vertex has k>1 neighbors, and k-1 neighbors are observed, then the remaining neighbor is observed. 7
