The Sensors Editorial Office retracts the article, “A New Hybrid Algorithm for Multi-Objective Reactive Power Planning via FACTS Devices and Renewable Wind Resources” [1], cited above.
Following the publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office relating to the validity of the findings and the relevancy of a significant number of citations included within this article [1].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board which detected irregularities within the presented findings and confirmed the presence of a high number of citations that lacked sufficient relevance to this publication.
