Genetic Algorithm approach in FACTS devices location for the improvement of energy efficiency in distribution networks

and committed to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases. There are different aspects to be considered in order to reach this goal and of them is energy efficiency in power systems. Energy efficiency can be improved along the power system and here the focus is set to the transmission and distribution network. Overall losses in a transmission and distribution system are considered normal in a range of 6 % and 8%. There are are different ways to achieve a better energy efficiency in distribution networks, such as high efficiency transformers and cables or applications like Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). More over, several optimization techniques can be applied to maximize energy efficiency in distribution networks. Several optimization techniques can be applied t
