Priyanka Shankya, Ashalam Parwaz, Vivek Kumar Jain . Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Solving Optimal Power Flow Problem. International Journal of Computer Applications. 178, 49 ( Sep 2019), 8-10. DOI=10.5120/ijca2019919392
This paper proposes an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for solving optimal reactive power flow problem. The proposed ABC can deal with different objectives of the problem such as minimizing the real power losses, improving the voltage profile, and enhancing the voltage stability and properly handle various constraints for reactive power limits of generators and switchable capacitor banks, bus voltage limits, tap changer limits for transformers, and transmission line limits. The proposed approach has been observed and tested on different IEEE bus test system. The performance of ABC to be better in terms of solution superiority and computational time.
