  • Abstract
    A genetic algorithms and fuzzy programming methodology can help determine the minimum number of meters (and their location) needed to monitor voltage sags and swells in power networks. This paper proposes a methodology that determines the minimal number of power-quality meters needed to monitor a power network and identifies the buses on which those meters should be installed.
