In this paper, Mine Blast Algorithm (MBA) has been intermingled with Harmony Search (HS) algorithm for solving optimal reactive power dispatch problem. MBA is based on explosion of landmines and HS is based on Creativeness progression of musicians – both are hybridized to solve the problem.  In MBA Initial distance of shrapnel pieces are reduced gradually to allow the mine bombs search the probable global minimum location in order to amplify the global explore capability. Harmony search (HS) imitates the music creativity process where the musicians supervise their instruments’ pitch by searching for a best state of harmony. Hybridization of Mine Blast Algorithm with Harmony Search algorithm (MH) improves the search effectively in the solution space. Mine blast algorithm improves the exploration and harmony search algorithm augments the exploitation. At first the proposed algorithm starts with exploration & gradually it moves to the phase of exploitation. Proposed Hybridized Mine Blast Algorithm with Harmony Search algorithm (MH) has been tested on standard IEEE 14, 300 bus test systems. Real power loss has been reduced considerably by the proposed algorithm. Then Hybridized Mine Blast Algorithm with Harmony Search algorithm (MH) tested in IEEE 30, bus system (with considering voltage stability index)- real power loss minimization, voltage deviation minimization, and voltage stability index enhancement has been attained.

The ever increasing sensitization on the need for clean energies that are not only environmental friendly but also have comparative cost advantages encourages the use of distributed generation. Using distributed generation at the load ends or close to the load centers has not only reduced carbon emission, but also improves power system performances. Presented in this paper is the adoption of Teaching-Learning Based Optimization technique for determining the most suitable site and size of distributed generation for real power loss reduction on Nigerian power system. Backward/Forward Sweep technique was employed for the power flow analysis, while the suitable locations of the distributed generations were pre-selected using Voltage Stability Index and Teaching-Learning Based Optimization technique was employed to establish the optimal location and the optimum size of the required distributed generation. This approach was demonstrated on the IEEE 34-bus test system, with the placement of 1 kW DG at bus 11 of the system. The aggregate real power loss diminished from 571 kW to 208.5954 kW (63.5726% reduction), while Voltage Stability Index and voltage profile of the system also improved remarkably. Also, by placing distributed generation on typical Nigerian 11 kV feeder, the real power loss reduced from 1.1 kW to 0.75 kW while the magnitude of bus voltage increased from 0.8295 to 0.8456 p.u. Based on the results of this analysis, Teaching-Learning Based Optimization has demonstrated excellent performance on the two test cases and therefore would be a tool to adopt on the Nigerian radial distribution system.

Integrating Distributed Generation (DG) units into distribution systems can have an impact on the voltage profile, power flow, power losses, and voltage stability. In this paper, a new methodology for DG location and sizing are developed to minimize system losses and maximize voltage stability index (VSI). A proper allocation of DG has to be determined using the fuzzy ranking method to verify best compromised solutions and achieve maximum benefits. Synchronous machines are utilized and its power factor is optimally determined via genetic optimization to inject reactive power to decrease system losses and improve voltage profile and VSI. The Augmented Lagrangian Genetic Algorithm with nonlinear mixed-integer variables and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm have been implemented to solve both single/multi-objective function optimization problems. For proposed methodology effectiveness verification, it is tested on 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems then compared with previous works.

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.
