Dynamic population artificial bee colony algorithm for multi-objective optimal power flow

الملخص EN

This paper proposes a novel artificial bee colony algorithm with dynamic population (ABC-DP), which synergizes the idea of extended life-cycle evolving model to balance the exploration and exploitation tradeoff.

The proposed ABC-DP is a more bee-colony-realistic model that the bee can reproduce and die dynamically throughout the foraging process and population size varies as the algorithm runs.

ABC-DP is then used for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem in power systems that considers the cost, loss, and emission impacts as the objective functions.

The 30-bus IEEE test system is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed algorithm.

The simulation results, which are also compared to nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGAII) and multi-objective ABC (MOABC), are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
