This paper presents an algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem in a power system. Modal analysis of the system is used for static voltage stability assessment. Loss minimization and maximization of voltage stability margin are taken as the objectives. Generator terminal voltages, reactive power generation of the capacitor banks and tap changing transformer sett...

In this paper newly developed teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is applied for designing band pass (BP) and band stop (BS) digital IIR filters. TLBO is heuristic algorithm based on the social phenomenon of teaching-learning process. The effectiveness of purposed algorithm is validated by designing the BP and BS filters by approximating the magnitude response with Lp-norm err...
