Abstract

This paper proposes a highly flexible, robust, and efficient constraint-handling approach for the solution of the optimal power flow (OPF) problem and this solution lies in the ability to solve the power system problem and avoid the mathematical traps. Centralized control of the power system has become inevitable, in the interest of secure, reliable, and economic operation of the system. In this work, OPF is solved by considering the three distinct objectives, generation cost minimization, power loss minimization, and enhancement of voltage stability index. These three objectives are solved separately by considering the evolutionary-based monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) algorithm. This MBO algorithm is validated on the IEEE 30 bus network and the obtained results are compared with differential evolution, particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and Jaya algorithm. The obtained results reveal that among the various optimization algorithms considered in this work, the MBO evolves as the best algorithm for all three case studies.
