Fabricio I. Salgado MSc.
A new solution for VAR planning in distribution systems is proposed. It is based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Allelic Alphabet and Hamming Distance concepts are efficiently exploited under real coding. The model’s robustness is demonstrated through a 69-node system. The effect of the genetic operators is quantified (mutation probability and mutation radius, crossover probability) regarding the convergence of the solution. The procedure allows obtaining a realistic solution for the VAR planning problem.
