Abstract
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve optimal power fl ow (OPF) problems in flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). The uni fied power flow controller (UPFC) is used as a phase shifter and/or a series compensator to regulate both angle and magnitude of branch volt age. The GA, coupled with P-Q power flow, selects the best regulation to minimize the real power loss and keep the power flows in their secu re limits. The optimization process with GA will be illustrated in det ail.
