Paper presents predator–prey based optimization (PPO) technique to obtain optimal generation scheduling of short-term hydrothermal system. PPO is a part of the swarm intelligence family and is capable to solve large scale non-linear optimization problems. PPO based algorithm combines the idea of particle swarm optimization concept with predator effect that helps to, maintain diversity in the sw...

The increase in distributed generation (DG) and variable load mandates system operators to perform decision-making considering uncertainties. This paper introduces a novel state-aware stochastic optimal power flow (SA-SOPF) problem formulation. proposed SA-SOPF has objective find day-ahead base-solution that minimizes the cost expectation of deviations node voltage set-points during real-time o...
