A two level hybrid genetic algorithm/successive linear programming (GA/SLP) method is presented to solve the multi-transition states voltage stability constrained VAR planning problem, which is formulated as mixed-integer non-linear programming problem. In the first level, the GA is employed to select the candidate sites and VAR amount of the FACTS devices to be installed in the system. These candidate...
