We consider the Multi-Area Economic Dispatch problem (MAEDP) in deregulated power system environment for practical multi-area cases with tie line constraints. Our objective is to generate allocation to the power generators in such a manner that the total fuel cost is minimized while all operating constraints are satisfied. This problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we propose Hybrid Particle Swarm...

One of the most crucial functions in the operation and control of power system is reactive power dispatch (RPD).A hybrid Big Bang–Big Crunch (HBB–BC) optimization algorithm which consists of A Big Bang– Big Crunch algorithm combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper in order to solve optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The L-index of load buses is base...

In the last few years, many offshore wind power plants are installed at North Sea and more under construction. Offshore grid would be vital in integration of future plant with main land grid. Both, multi-terminal DC AC cable systems consideration concept The reactive voltage operating point for such a network is important optimized operation. This article presents an optimization criterion cont...

This paper presents a seeker algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem. Swarm intelligence algorithms have been productively applied to hard optimization problems. Seeker optimization algorithm is one of the latest members of that class of metaheuristics and the primary type of this algorithm was less successful with multimodal functions. We propose hybridization...
