VII. CONCLUSIONS
A GA solution to the OPF problem has been
presented and applied to small and medium size
power systems. The main advantage of the GA
solution to the OPF problem is its modeling
flexibility: nonconvex unit cost functions, prohibited
unit operating zones, discrete control variables, and
complex, nonlinear constraints can be easily
modeled. Another advantage is that it can be easily
