Hybrid Method for Optimal Power Flow Determination
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of the main functions of Power Generation Operation and Control. It determines the optimal settings of generating units, bus voltage, transformer tap and shunt elements in Power System with the objective of minimizing total production costs or losses while the system is operating within its security limits. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology (ABCA-mGA) that solves OPF including active power dispatches. It is based on combining the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABCA) to obtain a near global solution, and the microgenetic algorithm (mGA) to determine the optimal global solution with great precision.

In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...
