• Multi-Criteria Optimization
• UPFC Devices
• Genetic Algorithm

This paper is proposing a new procedure for a simultaneous optimization of all the criteria that may influence the decision, while it is not necessary to compare the criteria, and therefore provides that no single criterion is favored over the others. Therefore, this procedure represents an unbiased basis for decision making in planning development of today's modern power transmission networks. The procedure is based on application of a genetic algorithm, where all the criteria are unique, and set of feasible solutions is defined by possible modes of operation of each individual component of the power transmission system, and of the power transmission system as a whole. The procedure presented in this paper is limited to the case of power transmission network development by adding the UPFC control devices. Such devices include technical capabilities of all modern control devices based on application of power electronics. The goal of the proposed procedure is to select the location and parameters of the UPFC devices to meet all requirements of the power transmission network development in a deregulated environment.
