Abstract :
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve optimal power flow problems in flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is used as a phase shifter and/or a series compensator to regulate both angle and magnitude of branch voltage. The GA, coupled with P-Q power flow, selects the best regulation to minimize the real power loss and keep the power flows in their secure limits
