Abstract
The optimal power flow is one of the major area in economic and efficient dispatch of electric power. This research article presents a swarm-based optimization algorithm, known as Modified Ant Lion Optimization (MALO) algorithm to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problems. A holistic approach has been used including thermal, wind, solar, and hydro power plants and results shows minimization of cost, losses, and voltage deviation that amounts for novelty of this paper. The MALO algorithm is validated on IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus systems, and the result are compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. It is found that proposed algorithm provides better OPF solutions when compared with other mentioned algorithm namely Antlion Optimization, Graw Wolf Optimization, Salp Swarm Algorithm, and Grasshopper Optimization. The MALO algorithm is useful for electric utilities, researcher, and power system operation.
