Reduction of real power loss by upgraded red shaver swarm optimization algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, an upgraded Red Shaver swarm Optimization (RS) algorithm is proposed for solving reactive power problem. Under cockerel as group-mate Red Shaver explores food; also it prevents the same ones to eat their own food. Red Shaver would arbitrarily pinch the high-quality food which has been already found by other Red Shaver & always overriding other individuals to grab more food. In the Projected upgraded Red Shaver swarm Optimization (RS) algorithm additional parameters of cockerel, hens and chicks are eliminated, in order to upsurge the search towards global optimization solution. Proposed Upgraded Red Shaver swarm Optimization (RS) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus system. Simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed RS algorithm in reduction of real power loss.
