A high-performance democratic political algorithm for solving multi-objective optimal power flow problem

The optimal power flow (OPF) is one of the most noticeable and integral tools in the power system operation and control and aims to obtain the most economical combination of power plants to exactly serve the total demand of the system without any load shedding or islanding through adjusting control...
