Using Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Honey Bee mating Optimization and Shuffle Frog Leaping Algorithm for solving OPF Problem with their Comparison

Abstract

Today using evolutionary programing for solving complex, nonlinear mathematical problems like optimum power flow is commonly in use. These types of problems are naturally nonlinear and the conventional mathematical methods aren’t powerful enough for achieving the desirable results. In this study an Optimum Power Flow problem solved by means of minimization of fuel costs for IEEE 30 buses test system by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) and Shuffle Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA), these algorithms has been used in MATLAB medium with help of MATHPOWER to achieving more precise results and comparing these results with the other proposed results in other published papers.
