I- PROBLEM FORMULATION

The Energies paper proposes highly similar problem formulation to the un-published paper in both
objective function and constraints

Only remove VUI, other two objectives include TPL and

1 Objective Function
2 Constraints
Harmonic are the same. Although they changed or fixed
something such as: PL replaced by I2R, or corrected Eq.8
in the un-published paper.
Except that constraint 1 (Eq.13 – no meaning because
Eq.18) not considered in the unpublished paper, and Eq.18
removed the constant α. Other constrains include: Voltage
Limits, Harmonic, and Capacity Limit are the same. Even
in Eq. (17), Energies paper only replaces index j by i.

II- BIOGEOGRAPHY-BASED OPTIMIZATION SOLUTION ALGORITHM

The core solution algorithm in section 4.5 of Energies paper mostly duplicates the un-published
paper through re-writing the text.
In the following, the left side indicates the steps of the solution algorithm of Energies paper and
the left column indicates steps of the solution algorithm of the un-published paper.
