The contribution of solar photovoltaics (PV׳ s) in generation of electric power is continually
increasing. PV cells are commonly modelled as circuits. Finding appropriate circuit model …

Distributed generation can be defined as power generation by small scale generating units
that are installed at distribution systems. The penetration of distributed generation (DG) units …

Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is a well-established optimisation algorithm inspired from
flocking behaviour of birds. The big problem in PSO is that it suffers from premature …

Feature selection is a vital pre-processing phase for most machine learning and data mining
courses. This article proposes new variants of the Harris hawk optimization called memory …

This paper proposes a new optimization technique to make an integration between the
Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) problem and Electric Vehicles (EV). Here, a …

The increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) in today's transport sector is gradually
leading to the phasing out of petroleum-based vehicles. However, the rapid deployment of …

Bat swarm optimisation (BSO) is a novel heuristic optimisation algorithm that is being used
for solving different global optimisation problems. The paramount problem in BSO is that it …

In electric power systems, finding optimal location and setting of flexible AC transmission
system (FACTS) devices represents a difficult optimisation problem. This is due to its …

Almost all real-world optimisation problems are constrained. Solving constrained problems
is difficult for optimisation techniques. In this paper, different constraint handling strategies …

Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices have proved to be very
effective and viable in alleviating the problems of electrical transmission systems. The …
