Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of a Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization with Biased Mutation (HPSOBM) algorithm to solve the load flow computation in electrical power systems. The load flow study obtains the system status in the steady-state and it is widely used in the power system operation, planning and control. The proposed methodology is applied in a different computational model, which is based on the minimization of the power mismatches in the system buses. This new model searches for a greater convergence, and also a larger application in comparison with traditional numerical methods. In order to illustrate the proposed algorithm some simulations were conducted using the IEEE 14 bus system.
