Abstract

This paper describes the use of an improved version of the Salp Swarm Algorithm, known as iSSA, to address Optimal Power Flow (OPF) issues in power system management. The iSSA is applied to OPF problems involving stochastic solar power generation, with the goal of optimizing control variables such as real power generation, voltage magnitude at generation buses, transformer tap settings, and reactive power compensation. The optimization aims to achieve three objectives: minimizing power loss, minimizing cost, and minimizing combined cost and emissions from power generation. The iSSA's performance was tested on a modified IEEE 30-bus system and compared to other recent algorithms, including SSA. The simulation results show that the iSSA outperformed all compared algorithms for all objective functions that have been derived in this study.
