In this paper a genetic algorithm (GA) is used for determining optimal location of UPFC in power systems. Optimal location in this paper means finding line number for UPFC location and its parameters for specified number of UPFCs. UPFC is considered as a powerful FACTS device in this paper. Unlike other FACTS devices, UPFC has a great flexibility that can control the active and reactive powers and...
