SLIME MOULD ALGORITHM FOR PRACTICAL OPTIMAL POWER FLOW SOLUTIONS INCORPORATING STOCHASTIC WIND POWER AND STATIC VAR COMPENSATOR DEVICE
Purpose.This paper proposes the application procedure of a new metaheuristic technique in a practical electrical power system to solve optimal power flow problems, this technique namely the slime mould algorithm (SMA) which is inspired by the dv1433-010 swarming behavior and morphology of slime mould in nature.This study aims to test and verify the
