Dual Strategy of Reconfiguration with Capacitor Placement for Improvement Reliability and Power Quality in Distribution System

Algorithm 1

The main steps of binary salp swarm algorithm (BSSA) [43].
(1)Initialize the search agents, maximum number of iterations, and salp population with considering of the binary bound of dimension
(2)Retain the search agents that satisfies all the constraints
(3)Run the load flow and evaluate the objective function using equation (7)
(4)Calculate the reliability indices of each bus
(5)Obtain the best salp position or leader salp position using equation (22)
(6)Update the value of using equation (23)
(7)Update the location of the leader using equation (22)
(8)Calculate the probabilities using equation (25) which take the output of equation (22) as an input to equation (26)
(9)Update the followers using equation (24)
(10)Check the program stopping condition, if , go to step 6, otherwise go to step 11
(11)Print the optimal results
(12)End
