Abstract

This paper presents an evolutionary-based approach to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The proposed approach employs opposition-based gravitational search algorithm (OGSA) for optimal settings of OPF control variables. The proposed approach is tested on the standard 26-bus test system with different objective functions those reflect minimization of fuel cost, that of transmission loss, that of sum of total voltage deviation while maintaining an acceptable system performance in terms of limits on generators’ real and reactive powers, line flow limits, outputs of various compensating devices, etc. The simulation results of the proposed approach are compared with those reported in the literature. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach and show its effectiveness and robustness to solve the OPF problem of power system considered.
