Abstract: Abstract Optimal power flow (OPF) is one of the most requisite tools for power system operation analysis. This problem has a complex mathematical formulation which is relatively hard to solve. This paper presents a swarm intelligence-based approach to solve the OPF problem. The proposed approach describes the use of a modified artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm called ABC with global and local neighborhoods (ABCGLN) to determine the optimal settings of OPF control variables. ABCGLN is a recent modified version of basic ABC algorithm that can handle non-differentiable, non-linear, and multi modal objective functions. The ABCGLN approach is tested here on the standard IEEE 30-bus test system with three different objective functions for minimizing quadratic fuel cost function, piecewise quadratic cost function and quadratic cost function with valve point effects. The simulation results demonstrate the potential of ABCGLN algorithm of finding effective and robust quality solutions to solve OPF problem with various objective functions for the considered system as compared to those available in the literature.
