Application of Coulomb’s and Franklin’s laws algorithm to solve large-scale optimal reactive power dispatch problems

This study focuses on the application of Coulomb’s and Franklin’s laws algorithm (CFA) to solving large-scale optimal reactive power dispatch (LS-ORPD) problems. The CFA optimizer acts on the basis of the charged particles interactions. The ever-increasing effects of ORPD problems for safe and reliable operation of electrical power grids is an important area of study. Such problems are classified as nonlinear optimization problems; the aim of …
