This article discusses the utilization of a modified genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimization of the shunt compensation in meshed and radial MV distribution networks.
The algorithm looks for minimum costs of the network power losses and minimum capital and operating costs of applied capacitors, all of this under limitations specified by a multicriteria penalization function. The parallel evolution branches in the GA are used for the purpose of the optimization acceleration.
