Abstract
This paper introduces an effective and excellent heuristic optimization approach to determine optimal power flow (OPF) problem solution. The optimization technique named modified artificial wolf pack optimization (MAWPO) algorithm is utilized for finest setting of control variables of OPF. This metaheuristic optimization method is inspired by hunting process of wolves. The proposed method has been applied on IEEE 9-bus, IEEE 14-bus and IEE 30-bus test system. The simulation results obtained is compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) method and a conventional method, which suggests that the proposed method gives best optimal power flow solution amongst all the other reported optimization approaches. Simulation is performed on MATLAB R2016a platform.
