Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach to optimal voltage and reactive power control based on a genetic algorithm (GA), and attempts to shorten the time by use of the GA which calculates the control procedure. For this purpose, a network is decomposed into subsystems by means of region/area information, and the control times of the controller are considered in the voltage and reactive power control. Therefore, two methods are proposed in the algorithm of GA. The effectiveness is demonstrated by a practical 118-bus system
