  • Abstract
    In order to attain an optimal operation, this paper proposes the minimization of the reactive power losses and a voltage stability index, taking into account the line drop compensation in the step-up transformers. The application is carried out in an equivalent of the Mexican power system, solved by genetic algorithms. Results are presented showing the advantages of the optimal operation with respect to a non optimized nominal condition.
