An Ant Colony-Pollinated Flower Algorithm: A New Approach on Reactive Power Load Tracing for Deregulated Power System

a new theory called electricity tracing has been introduced for providing a fair and non-discriminatory transmission service pricing. Recently, PSP technique is considered to be the pioneer in the application of electricity tracing. However, the technique necessitates for matrix inversion in which sometimes cannot be performed when there is singularity in the matrix property. Due to this mathematical problem, it is likely the technique unable to give a promising result. To explore a new approach, this paper demonstrates the Artificial Intelligence (AI) based optimization method for performing load tracing, by means of hybrid algorithm; the Ant Colony Pollinated-Flower Algorithm (ACP-FA). The experiment on IEEE 14-bus system together with comparative studies has proven the effectiveness of the proposed method and algorithm.
