Genetic algorithms approach to voltage optimization

The authors consider the use of genetic algorithms as a measure of voltage optimization of electric power system. Genetic algorithms are optimization and learning techniques based on natural selection and natural population genetics. A formation of a power system is encoded to a string of characters called an artificial chromosome the initial population of strings are generated at random, and then they are evolved by a genetic algorithm. The experiments with the prototype implementation are presented. These results verified the feasibility of genetic algorithms approach to power engineering
