Abstract :
This paper presents a new optimization model EPSO, evolutionary particle swarm optimization, inspired in both evolutionary algorithms and in particle swarm optimization algorithms. The fundamentals of the method are described, and an application to the problem of loss minimization and voltage control is presented, with very good results.
