In this investigation, a novel approach is presented to nd the optimum locations and capacity of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in a power system using a fuzzy multi-objective function. Maximising the fuzzy satisfaction allows the optimization algorithm to simultaneously consider the multiple objectives of the network to obtain active power loss reduction; i.e., new FACTS devi...

We show that Chinese macroeconomic patterns instead appear consistent with an objective of maximizing output in non-competitive factor markets. In short, China appears to successfully follow the stated output object...
