TL;DR: A new computational tool based on fractional calculus has also been introduced for performance improvement of traditional swarming techniques to support researchers in field of energy/power sector and carry out further research.

TL;DR: Comparison of the results shows that fractional swarming intelligence outperformed the state-of-the-art counterparts by means of both line loss minimization and voltage deviation.

TL;DR: The results show that synergy of both, the Shannon entropy and the fractional calculus can be used as the useful tools for enhancing the optimization strength of algorithm while solving the ORPD problems in standard IEEE 30 and 57 bus power systems.

TL;DR: A new heuristic computing method named as fractional particle swarm optimization gravitational search algorithm (FPSOGSA) is presented by introducing fractional derivative of velocity term in standard optimization mechanism for optimal RPD problems.

TL;DR: In this article, a fractional evolutionary approach is proposed to achieve the desired objectives of reactive power planning by incorporating flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices, and two compensation arrangements are possible: the shunt type compensation, through Static Var compensator (SVC) and the series compensation through the Thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC).
