constrainted GA problem?

[zhao]

I am trying to use GA for a controller problem. Besides the objective function, it has a unequality constraint to keep the system stable. 

Could I use penalty method to transform the constrainted problem into unconstrainted problem? Is that reasonable here? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot
