MATLAB Program Integrating Genetic Algorithm with Power Flow Calculation

This MATLAB-based program integrating genetic algorithms with power flow calculation provides an effective tool for power system optimization and analysis. The implementation utilizes genetic algorithm operators (selection, crossover, mutation) to optimize power flow distribution within electrical systems, thereby enhancing system efficiency and stability. The program performs comprehensive power flow calculations using Newton-Raphson or Fast Decoupled methods to evaluate load distribution patterns and voltage stability margins. Key functions include population initialization for candidate solutions, fitness evaluation based on power flow constraints, and iterative optimization processes. This integrated approach of genetic algorithms and power flow analysis enables power system engineers to better understand system operational characteristics, offering data-driven optimization recommendations and decision support through MATLAB's computational capabilities and visualization tools.
