Population Variance Harmony Search Algorithm to Solve Optimal Power Flow with Non-Smooth Cost Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter presents a novel Harmony Search (HS) algorithm used to solve security constrained optimal power flow (OPF) with various generator fuel cost characteristics. HS is a recently developed derivative-free, meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which draws inspiration from the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. This chapter analyses the evolution of the populationvariance over successive generations in HS and thereby draws some important attention regarding the explorative power of HS. This novel methodology of modified population variance harmony search algorithm (PVHS) easily takes care of solving optimal power flow problem even with non-smooth and piecewise cost functions. This PVHS algorithm was tested on the IEEE30 bus system with three different types of cost characteristics and compared with other reported results.

In this paper, solving optimal power flow problem has been investigated by using hybrid particle swarm optimization and Nelder Mead Algorithms. The goal of combining Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex method and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is to integrate their advantages and avoid their disadvantages. NM simplex method is a very efficient local search procedure but its convergence is extremely sen...

Due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. In order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. Minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of the most important issues in the power systems. Due to the complexity and discontinuity of some parameters of power systems, the classic mathematical methods are not proper for this problem. In this paper, the objective function of OPF is formulated to minimize the power losses of transmission grid and the cost of energy generation and improve the voltage ...
