This paper proposes an application of firefly algorithm (FA) based extended voltage stability margin and minimization of active (or) real power loss incorporating Series-Shunt flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controller named as static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) combined with static var compensator (SVC). A circuit model of SSSC and variable susceptance model of SVC are utilized to control the line power flows and bus voltage magnitudes, respectively, for real power loss minimization and voltage stability limit improvement. The line quality proximity index (LQP) is used to assess the voltage stability of a power system. The values of voltage profile improvement, real power loss minimization, and the location and size of FACTS devices were optimized by FA. The results are obtained from the IEEE 14- and 30-bus test case systems under different operating conditions and compared with other leading evolutionary techniques such as shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA), differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

In this paper Billfish Optimization Algorithm (BOA) and Red Mullet Optimization (RMO) Algorithm has been designed for voltage stability enhancement and power loss reduction. Electrical Power is one among vital need in the society and also it plays lead role in formation of smart cities. Continuous power supply is essential and mainly quality of the power should be maintained in good mode. In this work real power loss reduction is key objective. Natural hunting actions of Billfish over pilchards are utilized to model the algorithm. Candidate solutions in the projected algorithm are Billfish and population in the exploration space is arbitrarily engendered. Movement of Billfish is high, it will attack the pilchards vigorously and it can’t escape from the attack done by the group of Billfish. Then in this paper Red Mullet Optimization (RMO) Algorithm is proposed to solve optimal reactive power problem. Projected RMO algorithm modeled based on the behavior and characteristics of red mullet. As a group they hunt for the prey and in each group there will be chaser and blocker. When the prey approaches any one of the blocker red mullet then automatically it will turn as new chaser. So roles will interchangeable and very much flexible. At any time chaser will become blocker and any of the blocker will become a chaser with respect to prey position and conditions. Then in that particular area when all the preys are hunted completed then red mullet group will change the area. So there will be flexibility and changing the role quickly with respect to prey position. Alike to that with reference to the fitness function the particle will be chosen as chaser. By means of considering L (voltage stability) - index BOA, and RMO algorithms verified in IEEE 30- bus system. Then without L-index BOA and RMO algorithms is appraised in 30 bus test systems. Both BOA and RMO algorithms condensed the power loss proficiently with improvement in voltage stability and minimization of voltage deviation.
