1. INTRODUCTION
Optimal reactive power dispatch (RPD) problem is considered as a complex, non-continous
problem. The power system involves of generation, transmission and distribution system to provide the
electric power to the consumers. It is an essential modern problem in the power system operating and control.
The objective of (RPD) problem is to find the best value of reactive power independent (control) variables so
as to minimize a certain objective function such as power loss and voltage deviation. The main goals in this
work are to get minimum power loss, and enhance voltage profile for the system and this goals can be
achieved through an optimal alteration of the reactive power control variables like, generator voltages value
(VG), the amount of (VAR) that injected from the capacitor banks (QC) and transformer taps (Tap) settings
while dealing with equality and inequality constrains at the same time [1]. The electrical loads are not
constant and vary from hour to hour. Any varying in power demands can lead to higher or lower voltages in
the system, so it must keep the reactive power devices like (viz. VG, Tap and QC) varying simultaneously
with the changing in the electric load and voltage [2]. Undeniably, over the last decades, RPD problem plays
a vital role in the power system operation and control and has recorded an ever-intense interest of the authors
because of remarkable and great effect on the economic, safe and security operation problem.
This problem is considered as a branch problem of the optimal power flow (OPF) calculation.
Carpentier was the first to introduce the model and concept of (OPF) in the early 1960s [3]. Then, many

researchers has been working on solving OPF problem by utilizing multi methods and like ant lion optimizer
(ALO) and integration of the invasive weed optimization (IWO) and Powell’s pattern search (PPS)
method [4], [5]. Ariantara et al. Using differential evolution (DE) Algorithm for the solution of OPF [6].
In the past, researchers were presented a lot of researches on (RPD) problem, and presented a
number of optimization algorithms. These algorithms are classified into two types: conventional optimization
algorithms and computational optimization algorithms. The concept of conventional algorithm is beginning
from an initial point. These algorithms contain interior point methods (IPM) [7], linear programing (LP) [8],
non-linear programming [9] and dynamic programming (DP) [10]. These algorithms have several
disadvantages such as unable to dealing with complex optimization problem, unable to dealing with problem
that include very large number of variables, huge calculations, big implementation time and convergence to
the nearby local optima. So, it becomes essential for finding and developing methods able to avoid these
disadvantages.
So, several optimization techniques have been presented in order to avoid these disadvantages of the
conventional optimization algorithms and these algorithms called computational optimization algorithms and
the basic concept of these algorithms are beginning from an initial solution swarm like, genetic algorithm
(GA) [11], gentoo penguin algorithm (GPA) [12], hybrid GA-IPM [13], meleagris gallopavo algorithm
(MGA) [14], chaotic predator-prey brain storm optimization (CPB) algorithm [15], Gravitational search
algorithm (GSA) and sine cosine algorithm (SCA) [16], enhanced fruit fly optimization algorithm (EFF) and
status of material algorithm (SMA) [17] and polar wolf optimization (PWO) algorithm [18] and particle
swarm optimization (PSO) [19], have been presented for the solution of RPD problem in the literature. From
all these algorithms, PSO shown great reliability to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional algorithms
and can easily be applied to multi problems, but it doesn't mean that PSO algorithm doesn't involve any
disadvantages. Therefore, in solving the non-continuous and complex problems this algorithm is declining to
the local minima at the premature convergence, on the other hand, also it depends on its parameter settings.
So, many researchers working for enhance PSO algorithm and prevent that disadvantages by using sundry
methods and techniques compact with PSO algorithm. Zhang et al. have proposed a two-phase HPSO
technique to solved the RPD problem [20]. Vlachogiannis et al. have applied (PSO, GPAC-PSO, and LPAC-
PSO) algorithms for reactive power and voltage control [21].
In the presented work, simple PSO has been developed to solve the RPD problem for minimizing
power losses and voltage profile enhancement. So as to enhance the searching quality of the simple PSO
algorithm and to avoid falling into the local minima and to decrease the calculation time, Chaotic PSO
(CPSO) is utilized so as to overcome these disadvantages. The chaos greatly helps the CPSO algorithm for
slip more easily from the local minima because of the special behavior, and strong ability for the chaotic
theory. Simple PSO and CPSO are applied for solving the RPD problem on IEEE Node-118 system, then the
simulation results were compared with other algorithm in the literature, like comprehensive learning particle
swarm optimization (CLPSO).

3. OPTIMIZATION PROCESS
3.1. Simple PSO algorithm
PSO algorithm is a best type for artificial intelligence, which mimics the social behavior of the
animals which does not have any leader when searching for food like, bird flocking and fish schooling. It has
several advantages such as simple, fast, can applied for solving optimization problem and guarantees best
solution within lesser calculation time and the convergence characteristic have very stable than other
stochastic algorithms and capable of dealing with continuous and discrete variables and does not have
mutation and crossover operation like genetic algorithm. An individual represents the probable solution and
every group of individuals represents a swarm. This theory was first put forward in 1995 [26]. Each
individual has best position discover by the individual it self and it is stored in a memory called local best
position , and the best position discovered among all individuals  in the swarm also stored in a
memory called global best position (, at every step the location of  and  are changing. Then,

the velocity and position of every individual in the swarm are changed by employing the calculation of the
present individual velocity and the location from  position and  position. The velocity and distance

A proper choice of the inertia weight () can achieve a balance between global location and local

3.2. CPSO algorithm
Despite the advantages of the simple PSO algorithm, but it has several limitations such as highly
depend on its parameter and decline to the local optimal at the premature convergence especially when the
problem is very complex.In this work, so as to prevent these limitations and to boost the quality and
performance, and the searching ability of the simple PSO algorithm, chaotic theory with Simple PSO are
merged to form a hybrid algorithm called the CPSO algorithm. and undeniably, this merge is a very helpful to
slip from the local optimal because of the special behavior and great ability of the chaotic CPSO algorithm [29].
In this work, the logistic map equation of the hybrid CPSO algorithm was described by the (11) [30].

Where, k is the number of the iteration (steps), and the control parameter µ was set within a range (0.0 to
4.0). The magnitude of µ decides whether β stabilizes at a constant area, oscillates within restricted limits, or
behaves chaotically in an unpredictable form. And (11) was shows chaotic dynamics when µ = 4.0 and β^1
{0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1}, it shows the sensitive depend on its initial conditions, which is the basic features of
chaotic. The new inertia weight factor (WCPSO) was calculated by multiplying the (WPSO) for (10) and logistic
map for (11) to form (12).

To enhance the behavior of the simple PSO, this work presents a novel velocity update by blending
inertia weight factor WPSO with the logistic map equation (β). Finally, by blending (12) with (7), the
following velocity changed equation to the proposed CPSO algorithm was obtained:
 =  **( **() (13)
In the CPSO algorithm, WCPSO was oscillates and decrease simultaneously from (0.9-0.4) for total iteration,
but in traditional PSO was decrease linearly. Table 1 shows a final choice of the control parameters CPSO
and simple PSO algorithms that is considered the optimal choice in this study.

4. CASE STUDY AND SIMULATION RESULTS
To verify and test the performance and ability for the proposed methods (i.e. simple PSO and
CPSO) for solving RPD problem in a complex power system, IEEE node-118 systems is employed. This
system is involve, 12 injected reactive power sources () from shunt capacitors, 186 branches, 54 generator
voltages ( and 9 transformer tap ratios () at branches 8, 32, 36, 51, 93, 95, 102, 107 and 127, the
limits of these variables are illustrated in Table 2. Branch, bus, generator, the upper and lower limits of the
reactive power in Mvar for the generators and other operating data are given in [31]. So, this system has 75
control (independent) variables as displayed given in Table 3 (see appendix), and at base case the initial
active and reactive power generations are =4374.86 Mw and =795.68 Mvar, the initial active and
reactive power loads are =4242.00 Mw and =1438.00 Mvar, the initial active and reactive power
losses are =132.86 Mw and =783.69 Mvar and they are 3 voltages outside the limits in the base
placed at bus 53, 76 and 118 and the value of these voltages in p.u are =0.946, =0.943 and
= 0.949. The simulation results are given in Table 3 (see appendix) for the goal of minimization of 
for the system and according to these results, found the results that yielded from the CPSO algorithm are the
best for solving large power system compared to the results that obtained in the simple PSO and other
algorithms in the literature like comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization CLPSO [32] algorithms.
Figure 1 shows the comparison among the percentage reduction of power losses for the used algorithms, and
Figure 2 shows the comparison among the real power loss value () for the used algorithms. The
convergence characteristics of  in MW for the simple PSO and CPSO algorithms are expose in Figures 3
and 4, and from these figures, it can be seen that CPSO algorithm performs best and reaching to the global
solution in less time than simple PSO for the solution of RPD problem. The voltage profile are given in
Figure 5 and from this figure it is clear that the voltage average at initial is about 0.986, at PSO is about
1.024, and at CPSO is about 1.045 and also all buses voltages are inside the limits after CPSO algorithm but
in the simple PSO algorithm  and  are still outside the limits. The power loss reduction () is
15.1% (from 132.8 Mw to 112.65 Mw) achieved by utilizing CPSO algorithm, which is consider the largest
reduction in than that accomplished in the simple PSO, CLPSO [32] algorithms.

In the future, the research can be developed by optimizing total voltage deviation (TVD) and voltage
stability index (VSI) separately as a single objective function or as multi-objective functions in order to
achieve more improvement in the RPC problem.

Exploring the majorization strategy of the power system (PS) dispatching operation is to achieve economic cost reduction and reduce environmental pollution. In this paper, starting from the PS dispatching model, the adaptive Corsi variance is introduced to get rid of the local optimum using particle swarm majorization procedure, and the adaptive Corsi variance multiple swarm coevolutionary procedure is constructed through coevolutionary strategy and information sharing strategy. The MCPSO-ACPM procedure is used to optimize the PS scheduling operation model, and experiments are conducted on both load and unit for the optimized scheduling model. From the load majorization results, the peak-to-valley variance is concentrated from 176.02KW to 110.51KW compared with the original load, and the peak-to-valley ratio is reduced by 0.718, which saves customers 98.63 yuan in electricity purchase cost. From the scheduling majorization prediction, the PS output power prediction value of 1 min during the day is closest to the actual measured value of output power, and its prediction deviation is about 2.67%. This shows that the use of a multi-objective majorization procedure can realize the optimal dispatch of PS and achieve the reduction of economic cost.

Software defined networking (SDN) is the networking model which has completely changed the network through attempting to make devices of network programmable. SDN enables network engineers to manage networks more quickly, control networks from a centralized location, detect abnormal traffic, and distinguish link failures in efficient way. Aside from the flexibility introduced by SDN, also it is prone to attacks like distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), that could bring the entire network to a halt. To reduce this threat, the paper introduces machine learning model to distinguish legitimate traffic from DDoS traffic. After preprocessing phase to dataset, the traffic is classified into one of the classes. We achieved an accuracy score of 99.95% by employing an optimized extremely randomized trees (ERT) classifier, as described in the paper. As a result, the goal of traffic flow classification using machine learning techniques was achieved.

Nowadays, there is a significant rise in electricity demand, posing challenges for power grid operators due to inaccurate forecasting, leading to excessive power losses and voltage instability. This paper addresses these issues by focusing on solving optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) while considering load demand uncertainty. The main objective of solving ORPD is to reduce power losses by adjusting generator voltage ratings, transformer tap ratio, and shunt capacitors' reactive power. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is employed to generate load scenarios using the normal probability density function, while a reduction-based technique is implemented to decrease the number of those scenarios. The improved gray wolf optimization (I-GWO) algorithm is introduced for the first time to address the stochastic ORPD problem. Experimentation is conducted on an IEEE-30 bus system when results are contrasted with conventional gray wolf optimization (GWO) and five other algorithms as stated in the literature. The I-GWO algorithm's performance is assessed with and without considering load demand uncertainty. Through Friedman's statistical tests, a significant decrease of 20.96% in active power losses and 63.06% in the summation of expected power losses is observed. The I-GWO algorithm's results on the ORPD problem demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness.

In recent years, the surge in continuously accelerating data generation has given rise to the prominence of big data technology. The MapReduce architecture, situated at the core of this technology, provides a robust parallel environment. Spark, a leading framework in the big data landscape, extends the capabilities of the traditional MapReduce model. Coping with big data, especially in the realm of clustering, requires more efficient techniques. Meta-heuristic-based clustering, known for offering global solutions within reasonable time frames, emerges as a promising approach. This paper introduces a parallel-distributed clustering algorithm for big data within the Spark Framework, named Spark, chaotic improved PSO (S-CIPSO). Centered on particle swarm optimization (PSO), the proposed algorithm is enhanced with a chaotic map and an efficient procedure. Test results, conducted on both real and artificial datasets, establish the superior performance and quality of clustering results achieved by the proposed approach. Additionally, the scalability and robustness of S-CIPSO are validated, demonstrating its effectiveness in handling large-scale datasets.

In this paper, the Power system stabilizer (PSS) and (PID) are enhanced with a Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) Damping Controller in order to suppression the Low-Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. Chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is used to tune the parameters of the PSS-PID. The design damping controller is an optimized lead-lag controller, which extracts the speed deviation of the generator rotor and generates the output feedback signal, which aims to modulate the reference values of the PSS-PID controller to achieve the best damping of LFO. In order to search the better damping option, the damping controller is applied to a series of the PSS-PID and the results are compared in two cases (PSS without PID and PSS with PID). The effectiveness of the proposed controller is achieved by time-domain simulation results in MATLAB environment, using three different operational conditions (Nominal, Light, and heavy). In addition, the results obtained from the PSS-PID were robust and more efficient compared to the PID only in terms of oscillations damping, overshoot minimizing and settling time reducing.

In modern power system operation, control, and planning, reactive power as part of power system component is very important in order to supply electrical load such as an electric motor. However, the reactive current that flows from the generator to load demand can cause voltage drop and active power loss. Hence, it is essential to install a compensating device such as a shunt capacitor close to the load bus to improve the voltage profile and decrease the total power loss of transmission line system. This paper presents the application of a genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and artificial bee colony (ABC)) to obtain the optimal size of the shunt capacitor where those capacitors are located on the critical bus. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is examined by utilizing Java-Madura-Bali (JAMALI) 500 kV power system grid as the test system. From the simulation results, the PSO and ABC algorithms are providing satisfactory results in obtaining the capacitor size and can reduce the total power loss of around 15.873 MW. Moreover, a different result is showed by the GA approach where the power loss in the JAMALI 500kV power grid can be compressed only up to 15.54 MW or 11.38% from the power system operation without a shunt capacitor. The three soft computing techniques could also maintain the voltage profile within 1.05 pu and 0.95 pu

p>This paper studied the reactive power control of the voltage source converters based high-voltage direct current system (VSC-HVDC). PI (proportional & integration) controller was used in this work to enhance the dynamic response of the system. Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and sine cosine algorithm (SCA) are used to get optimal parameters of the PI controller. GSA algorithm is based on the gravity law for Newton while SCA depends on mathematical model based on cosine and sine functions. These algorithms have an efficient global Search capability. The VSC-HVDC is exposed to different disturbances for checking the controller robustness. First disturbance was applying three phase faults on the system. While the second one was applying a step change in AC voltage. Finally, Applying step change in regulators reference values. Simulation results proved the controller superiority also verified the enhancement of the system dynamic response.</p

The aim of the research work is to propose an integrated optimization technique, established with the integration of the invasive weed optimization (IWO) and Powell’s pattern search (PPS) method. The IWO algorithm has been undertaken as a global search technique, which is inspired from the specific ecological behavior of weeds and has the ability to adapt to the changing environment. The local search PPS method is based upon a conjugate-based search and having excellent exploitation search capability, which helps to improve the solution obtained from IWO technique. The proposed technique is applied to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problem with the flexible AC transmission system devices. The OPF problem is a nonlinear, non-convex optimization problem and consists of continuous and discrete decision variables. The three objective functions comprise total fuel cost, pollutant emission and system transmission loss which are minimized sequentially. The proposed technique is tested on four standard IEEE test systems, and results are compared with the reported results in the literature and found promising. The results illustrate that the proposed technique performs better as compared to IWO technique in terms of the quality of solution and convergence characteristics. Further, t test is performed to validate the statistical performance of the proposed integrated optimization technique.

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of techniques used to optimize the cost of power plant production while maintaining the limit of system reliability. In this paper, the application of differential evolution (DE) method is used to solve the OPF problem with variable control such as the power plant output, bus voltage tension, transformer tap, and injection capacitor. The effectiveness of the method was tested using IEEE 30 buses. The result shows that this method is better than generic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimized (PSO), fuzzy GA, fuzzy PSO, and bat-algorithm. The simulation of the power plant systems of 500 kV Java-Bali with the proposed method can reduce the total cost of generation by 13.04% compared to the operating data PT. PLN (Persero).
