Improved elitist genetic algorithm for reactive power planning in power system / Mohamad Fadhil Mohd Kamal

This thesis presents a newly developed technique for the improvement of the elitist binary genetic algorithms (EGA) in implementing the reactive power planning (RPP) in power system. The genetic algorithm (GA) is a search technique based on the behaviour of natural genetics. The study conducts compa...
