Synchrophasor measurements from phasor measurement units (PMUs) will help network operators in many tasks including optimization of power flow, controlling power systems, contingency analysis, detection of fault etc. To achieve these, there is no requirement of PMUs to be placed in all the nodes of power network. In this paper, binary based search algorithm is used for optimal placement of PMUs and tested in different IEEE standard networks. After optimal placement of PMUs, next phase is the identification of fault location. The suggested scheme for fault location identification technique consists of three parallel paths which will be running concurrently. From the outputs of these parallel steps, the possible fault point can be determined. The proposed scheme has been tested using PSS®E & MATLAB to provide 98% precise results in the selected line span. <
