Parameter-free hybrid RAO algorithm for reactive power optimization (opens in new tab)

The Rao algorithms are a relatively new parameter-free optimisation technique that has grown in importance as an intelligent optimisation tool. Rao algorithms are effective algorithms that embody the idea of attracting toward a global optimum, illustrating the algorithm’s swarm intelligence and the survival of the fittest principle, like that of an evolutionary algorithm. However, it has found applications in other areas related to optimization, primarily in engineering practice, where it is ...
