Abstract

This paper presents biogeography based optimization (BBO) technique for solving constrained optimal power flow problems in power systems, considering valve point nonlinearities of generators. In this paper, the proposed algorithm has been tested in 9-bus and IEEE 30-bus systems under various simulated conditions. A comparison of simulation results reveals optimization efficacy of the proposed scheme over evolutionary programming (EP), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), mixed-integer particle swarm optimization (MIPSO) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) used in MATPOWER for the global optimization of multi-constraint OPF problems.
