Reactive power dispatch is a vital problem in the operation, planning and control of power system for obtaining a fixed economic load expedition. An optimal dispatch reduces the grid congestion through the minimization of the active power loss. This strategy involves adjusting the transformer tap settings, generator voltages and reactive power sour...

With the development of urban and rural infrastructure, the power system is enforced to operate nearly at its full capacity which result in heavily stressed power grid operation, greater loss, peak generation, security threat and instability of the electrical network. The performance of the legacy electric network can be enhanced by solving optimal...

Optimal reactive power dispatch (RPD) for reducing the real power losses of the transmission system is one of the paramount concerns for the research community to investigate the efficiency of power systems. In this paper, strength of meta-heuristic computing paradigm based on fractional-order Darwinian particle swarm optimization (FO-DPSO) is expl...

Optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problems in power system have been solved by using several variants of traditional nature inspired particle swam optimization (PSO) with aim to achieve a promising solution for a given objective such as line loss, voltage deviation and overall cost minimization.

Wireless Multi-hop Networks (WMhNs) provide users with the facility to communicate while moving with whatever the node speed, the node density and the number of traffic flows they want, without any unwanted delay and/or disruption. This paper contributes Linear Programming models (LP_models) for WMhNs. In WMhNs, different routing protocols are used...

In Wireless Ad-hoc Networks, nodes are free to move randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily, thus topology may change quickly and capriciously. In Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks, specially Wireless Multi-hop Networks provide users with facility of quick communication. In Wireless Multi-hop Networks, routing protocols with energy efficient and delay re...
