Optimization Technique to Support Integrated Generation Units in the Iraqi Super Grid 400kV for Performance Improving

This research aims to study the effects of adding large scale Generation Units at optimal size and site to mitigate the congestion lines, reduce the power losses, and improve the voltage profile for the Iraqi national grid system400kV. The proposed Genetic Algorithm is implemented to determine the optimum size and location based on a multi objective function that depends on the voltage, active losses, and congestion lines as fitness. The results show the proposed approach for determining the optimum size and location, which alleviated the congestion line, reduced power losses, reduced line flow, and improved the bus voltage profile. The results are obtained with proposed algorithm implementation by using programming language within MATLAB /R2018a environment.
