This paper presents a new hybrid algorithm based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Shuffle Frog Leaping algorithms (SFLA) for solving the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) in power systems. In consequence of economical issues and increasing of the social welfare, the OPF problem is turning...

Renewable energy resources such as wind power plants are playing an ever-increasing role in power generation. This paper extends the dynamic economic emission dispatch problem by incorporating wind power plant. This problem is a multi-objective optimization approach in which total electrical...

This study proposes a modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based on Hummingbird Flight (HBF) patterns to enhance the search quality and population diversity. The HBF has five concepts: (1) Smaller steps toward position updating are more likely than larger ones, (2) Position...
