Two versions were developed, one to run on conventional (sequential) computers and the other to run on a distributed memory (hypercube) machine. This latter parallel processing version employs an asynchronous programming model. Once the set of candidate buses has been defined, the program gives the location and size of the reactive sources needed(if any) in keeping with operating and security constraints.68-73engreactive power planningparallel processingbinary searchheuristic methodsArtigo10.1109/59.485987WOS:A1996TX79400024Acesso restrito
