“…Recently, PSO has been successively applied to various fields of power system optimization problems such as for economic dispatch problem considering generation constraint [8], for minimizing the non-smooth cost function of economic dispatch problem [9], scheduling the generation outputs considering lagrangian relaxation method [10], reactive power and voltage control [11][12][13], optimal design of power system stabilizer [14], optimal power flow [15], state estimation [16], and for unit commitment problem [17]. The multiobjective generation dispatch using PSO with multiple fuel option were presented in [18] while, in [19], the multi-objective generation dispatch using PSO was presented for electricity markets. Reference [20] presented a procedure using PSO for obtaining the optimal design of a neuro-sliding mode controller for the transient stability enhancement of multimachine power systems with UPFC.…”
