Abstract:

This paper presents a modified artificial bee colony (MABC) algorithm to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problem. In the proposed MABC algorithm, the searching operation for new food source of artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is replaced with mutation and crossover operation of differential evolution (DE) algorithm to improve exploitation capacity. The OPF objective functions involve minimization of total fuel cost of generating units, minimization of emission of atmospheric pollutants, minimization of active power losses, and minimization of voltage deviations. The fuzzy satisfaction-maximizing method is utilized to convert the multiobjectives problem into single objective problem. The proposed approach is applied to the OPF problem on IEEE 30-bus test system. And the results are compared with those obtained by other heuristic algorithms, which demonstrate that the MABC algorithm not only has a better exploration capacity but also possesses stronger exploitation capacity and can effectively solve the OPF problem.
