  • The proposed hybrid PSOS-CGSA method finds better solutions for the OAPD problem, providing lower costs in each of 10 scenarios compared to PSO, GSA, PSOS and CGSA algorithms.

    “It is clear that the proposed hybrid PSOS-CGSA method finds better solutions for the OAPD problem, i.e., provides lower costs in each of 10 scenarios compared to PSO, GSA, PSOS and CGSA algorithms.”

    From Dynamic Optimal Power Dispatch in Unbalanced Distribution Networks with Single-Phase Solar PV Units and BESS (2023) · cites this paper as [24]

    The Simulation Results (p. 6) describe three-phase optimal power flow solved with Ipopt on two test feeders, not an OAPD comparison. Searches for PSOS-CGSA, OAPD, the four comparator algorithms, and costs across ten scenarios found no passage addressing the claim in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
