Distributed generation (DG) and capacitor bank (CB) allocation in distribution systems (DS) has the potential to enhance the overall system performance of radial distribution systems (RDS) using a multiobjective optimization technique. The benefits of CB and DG injection in the RDS greatly depend on selecting a suitable number of CBs/DGs and their volume along with the finest location. This work proposes applying a hybrid enhanced grey wolf optimizer and particle swarm optimization (EGWO-PSO) algorithm for optimal placement and sizing of DGs and CBs. EGWO is a metaheuristic optimization technique stimulated by grey wolves. On the other hand, PSO is a swarm-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm that finds the optimal solution to a problem through the movement of the particles. The advantages of both techniques are utilized to acquire mutual benefits, i.e., the exploration ability of the EGWO and the exploitation ability of the PSO. The proposed hybrid method has a high convergence speed and is not trapped in local optimal. Using this hybrid method, technical, economic, and environmental advantages are enhanced using multiobjective functions (MOF) such as minimizing active power losses, voltage deviation index (VDI), the total cost of electrical energy, and total emissions from generation sources and enhancing the voltage stability index (VSI). Six different operational cases are considered and carried out on two standard distribution systems, namely, IEEE 33- and 69-bus RDSs, to demonstrate the proposed scheme’s effectiveness extensively. The simulated results are compared with existing optimization algorithms. From the obtained results, it is observed that the proposed EGWO-PSO gives distinguished enhancements in multiobjective optimization of different conflicting objective functions and high-level performance with global optimal values.

In this study, a model based on the improved grey wolf optimizer (GWO) for optimizing RVFL is proposed to enable the problem of poor accuracy of Oil layer prediction due to the randomness of the parameters present in the random vector function link (RVFL) model to be addressed. Firstly, GWO is improved based on the advantages of chaos theory and the marine predator algorithm (MPA) to overcome the problem of low convergence accuracy in the optimization process of the GWO optimization algorithm. The improved GWO algorithm was then used to optimize the input weights and implicit layer biases of the RVFL network model so that the problem of inaccurate and unstable classification of RVFL due to the randomness of the parameters was avoided. MPA-GWO was used for comparison with algorithms of the same type under a function of 15 standard tests. From the results, it was concluded that it outperformed the algorithms of its type in terms of search accuracy and search speed. At the same time, the MPA-GWO-RVFL model was applied to the field of Oil layer prediction. From the comparison tests, it is concluded that the prediction accuracy of the MPA-GWO-RVFL model is on average 2.9%, 3.04%, 2.27%, 8.74%, 1.47% and 10.41% better than that of the MPA-RVFL, GWO-RVFL, PSO-RVFL, WOA-RVFL, GWFOA-RVFL and RVFL algorithms, respectively, and its practical applications are significant.
