Wind integrated optimal power flow considering power losses, voltage deviation, and emission using equilibrium optimization algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, the recently developed optimization algorithm, namely equilibrium optimization (EO), will be utilized to solve the optimal power flow problem (OPF), combining stochastic wind power with conventional thermal power generators in the system. The objectives are to minimize generation costs, including those incurred in thermal and stochastic wind power generation, active power loss, voltage deviation, and emission. To evaluate the performance of the EO algorithm in the OPF problem, modified IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus test systems with stochastic wind power generators will be used. A comparative study will be performed to show the efficiency of the EO algorithm compared with other recently developed metaheuristic algorithms such as the marine predators algorithm (MPA), artificial ecosystem-based optimization (AEO), and slime mould algorithm (SMA), as well as with other well-known algorithms. Based on the obtained results, the EO algorithm offered the best results.
