Abstract: The increase in wind energy penetration is creating a wide range of technical problems in power networks. Reactive Power Planning is one of these crucial issues which entails all the necessary planning actions to improve the voltage profile as well as the voltage stability in power networks. On the whole, the ultimate aim in reactive power planning could be addressed as the resolution of an optimization problem, in which multiobjective optimization techniques emerge as good alternatives to fulfil several goals simultaneously.
