Genetic algorithm power flow computing approach

There is a growing interest in finding new ways to solve power systems related problems. Heuristic search methods are considered a good alternative to conventional ones. The present work focuses on genetic algorithms (GA). A GA adapted for power flow solving is detailed. Some practical issues are presented.
