In this paper Better-Quality Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal reactive power Problem. Proposed algorithm is obtained by combining particle swarm optimization (PSO), Cauchy mutation and an evolutionary selection strategy. The idea is to introduce the Cauchy mutation into PSO in the hope of preventing PSO from trapping into a local optimum through long jumps made by the Cauchy mutation. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed Better-Quality Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm, it has been tested on IEEE 57 bus system. Simulation Results show’s that BPSO is more efficient than other reported algorithms in reducing the real power loss.

The power loss in electrical power systems is an important issue. Many techniques are used to reduce active power losses in a power system where the controlling of reactive power is one of the methods for decreasing the losses in any power system. In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm using eagle strategy (ESPSO) is proposed for solving reactive power optimization problem to minimize the power losses. All simulations and numerical analysis have been performed on IEEE 30-bus power system, IEEE 118-bus power system, and a real power distribution subsystem. Moreover, the proposed method is tested on some benchmark functions. Results obtained in this study are compared with commonly used algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, firefly algorithm (FA), differential evolution (DE), and hybrid genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization (hGAPSO). Results obtained in all simulations and analysis show that the proposed method is superior and more effective compared to the other methods.

In the present study, we suggest a modified version of heterogeneous multi-swarm particle swarm optimization (MSPSO) algorithm, that allows the amelioration of its performance by introducing an adaptive inertia weight approach. In order to bring about a balance between the exploration and exploitation characteristics of MSPSO allowing to promote information exchange amongst the subswarms. However, the classical MSPSO algorithm search behavior has not always been optimal in finding the optimal solution to certain problems, which results in falling into local optimum leading to premature convergence. The most advantages of the MSPSO there are easy to implement and there are few parameters to adjust. The inertia weight (w) is one of the most Particle Swarm Optimization’s (PSO) parameters. Controlling this parameter could facilitate the convergence and prevent an explosion of the swarm. To overcome the above limitations, this paper proposes a heterogeneous multi swarm PSO algorithm based on PSO number selection approach centred on the idea of particle swarm referred to as Multi-Swarm Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with Factor selection strategy (FMSPSO). In the various process implementations of the particle swarm search, different parameter selection strategies are adopted to ameliorate the global search ability. The proposed FMSPSO is able to improve the population’s diversity and better explore the entire feature space. The statistical test and indicators that are reported in the specialized literature demonstrate that the suggested approach is superior in terms of efficiency to nine other popular PSO algorithms in solving the optimization problem of complex problems. The approach suggests that FMSPSO reaches a very promising performance for solving different types of optimization problems, leading eventually to higher solution accuracy.

. Particle swarm optimization algorithm has the defects of easy to fall into local optimum and low convergence accuracy used in reactive power optimization. To solve the problems, this paper proposed an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on dynamic learning factors. The two accelerations are changed with searching stage, so as to enhance the early globle search ability and the late local search ability, then to avoid local optimum; minimum particle angle method and crowded distance method are uesd to determine the global extremum in instalments, so as to improve the convergence speed and accuracy of multi-objective pareto solutions. Take the IEEE 30 bus system IEEE 118 bus system as example, the proposed method is compared with adaptive chaos particle swarm optimization (ACPSO) and NSGA-II, simulation results show that the method put forward in this paper has better convergence accuracy.

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based algorithm belonging into metaheuristic algorithms and it has been used since many decades for handling and solving various optimization problems. However, it suffers from premature convergence and it can easily be trapped into local optimum. Therefore, this study presents a new algorithm called multi-mean scout particle swarm optimization (MMSCPSO) which solves reactive power optimization problem in a practical power system. The main objective is to minimize the active power losses in transmission line while satisfying various constraints. Control variables to be adjusted are voltage at all generator buses, transformer tap position and shunt capacitor.  The standard PSO has a better exploitation ability but it has a very poor exploration  ability. Consequently, to maintain the balance between these two abilities during the  search process by helping particles to escape from the local optimum trap, modifications were made where initial population was produced by tent and logistic maps and it was subdividing it into sub-swarms to ensure good distribution of particles within the search space. Beside this, the idle particles (particles unable to improve their personal best) were replaced by insertion of a scout phase inspired from the artificial bee colony in the standard PSO. This algorithm has been applied and tested on IEEE 118-bus system and it has shown a strong performance in terms of active power loss minimization and voltage profile improvement compared to the original PSO Algorithm, whereby the MMSCPSO algorithm reduced the active power losses at 18.681% then the PSO algorithm reduced the active power losses at 15.457%. Hence, the MMSCPSO could be a better solution for reactive power optimization in large-scale power systems.
