The selection of positions for unified power flow controller (UPFC) placement in transmission network is an essential factor, which aids in operating the system in a more reliable and secured manner. This paper focuses on strengthening the power system performance through UPFC placement employing self-adaptive firefly algorithm (SAFA), which selects the best positions along with parameters for UPFC placement. Three single objectives of real power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, and voltage stability enhancement are considered in this work. IEEE 14, 30, and 57 test systems are selected to accomplish the simulations and to reveal the efficacy of the proposed SAFA approach; besides, solutions are compared with two other algorithms solutions of honey bee algorithm (HBA) and bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA). The proposed SAFA contributes real power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, and voltage stability enhancement by optimally choosing the placement for UPFC.

In this paper Cinnamon ibon Search Optimization Algorithm (CSOA) is used for solving the power loss lessening problem. Key objectives of the paper are Real power Loss reduction, Voltage stability enhancement and minimization of Voltage deviation. Searching and scavenging behavior of Cinnamon ibon has been imitated to model the algorithm. Cinnamon ibon birds which are in supremacy of the group are trustworthy to be hunted by predators and dependably attempt to achieve a improved position and the Cinnamon ibon ones that are positioned in the inner of the population, drive adjacent to the nearer populations to dodge the threat of being confronted. The systematic model of the Cinnamon ibon search Algorithm originates with an arbitrary individual of Cinnamon ibon. The Cinnamon ibon search algorithm entities show the position of the Cinnamon ibon. Besides, the Cinnamon ibon bird is supple in using the cooperating plans and it alternates between the fabricator and the cadger. Successively the Cinnamon ibon identifies the predator position; then they charm the others by tweeting signs. The cadgers would be focussed to the imperilled regions by fabricators once the fear cost is more than the defence threshold. Likewise, the subterfuge of both the cadger and the fabricator is commonly used by Cinnamon ibon. The dispersion of the Cinnamon ibon location in the solution area is capricious. An impulsive drive approach was applied when dispossession of any adjacent Cinnamon ibon in the purlieu of the present population. This style diminishes the convergence tendency and decreases the convergence inexorableness grounded on the controlled sum of iterations. Authenticity of the Cinnamon ibon Search Optimization Algorithm (CSOA) is corroborated in IEEE 30 bus system (with and devoid of L-index). Genuine power loss lessening is attained. Proportion of actual power loss lessening is amplified.

This paper proposes a chaotic stochastic fractal search algorithm (CSFSA) method to solve the reconfiguration problem for minimizing the power loss and improving the voltage profile in distribution systems. The proposed method is a metaheuristic method developed for overcoming the weaknesses of the conventional SFSA with two processes of diffuse and update. In the first process, new points will be created from the initial points by the Gaussian walk. For the second one, SFSA will update better positions for the particles obtained in the diffusion process. In addition, this study has also integrated the chaos theory to improve the SFSA diffusion process as well as increase the rate of convergence and the ability to find the optimal solution. The effectiveness of the proposed CSFSA has been verified on the 33-bus, 84-bus, 119-bus, and 136-bus distribution systems. The obtained results from the test cases by CSFSA have been verified to those from other natural methods in the literature. The result comparison has indicated that the proposed method is more effective than many other methods for the test systems in terms of power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement. Therefore, the proposed CSFSA can be a very promising potential method for solving the reconfiguration problem in distribution systems.
