in this paper particle swarm optimization with smart inertia factor (pso-sif) algorithm is proposed to solve combined heat and power economic dispatch (chped) problem. the chped problem is one of the most important problems in power systems and is a challenging non-convex and non-linear optimization problem. the aim of solving chped problem is to determine optimal heat and power of generating u...

The losses in electrical power systems are a great problem. Multiple methods have been utilized to decrease transmission lines. proper adjusting of reactive resources is one way minimize the any system. Reactive Power Optimization (RPO) problem nonlinear and complex optimization contains equality inequality constraints. RPO highly essential operation control systems. Therefore, study concentrat...

Optimization of active power loss in Electrical Power systems is complicated because of large, complex, and geographically widely distributed power systems. It is advisable to use the most efficient optimization technique based on its suitability to find an optimized solution of the problem. Active power loss minimization in a system is obtained by controlling the flow of reactive power. The re...

In this paper, a novel compensator based on Magnetically Controlled Reactor with Fixed Capacitor banks (FC-MCR) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. The problem of robust FC-MCR-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The multi-objective problem is concocted ...
