Wind generation connection to power system affects steady state and transient stability. Furthermore, this effect increases with the increase of wind penetration in generation capacity. In this paper, optimal location of FACTS devices is carried out to solve the steady state problems of wind penetration using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Cases studied are carried out on modified IEEE39 bus system wi...
