ACTIVE POWER LOSS DIMINUTION & VOLTAGE STABILITY ENHANCEMENT BY RED WOLF OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM

In this paper optimal reactive power dispatch problem (ORPD), has been solved by Enriched Red Wolf Optimization (ERWO) algorithm. Projected ERWO algorithm hybridizes the wolf optimization (WO) algorithm with swarm based algorithm called as particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In the approach each Red wolf has a flag vector, and length is equivalent to the whole sum of numbers which features in the dataset of the wolf optimization (WO). Exploration capability of the projected Red wolf optimization algorithm has been enriched by hybridization of both WO with PSO. Efficiency of the projected Enriched Red wolf optimization (ERWO) evaluated in standard IEEE 30 bus test system. Simulation study indicates Enriched Red wolf optimization (ERWO) algorithm performs well in tumbling the actual power losses& particularly voltage stability has been enriched.
