Solution of Multi-Objective Optimal Power Flow with Chaotic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Abstract

In the study multi objective optimum power flow problem is solved through chaotic artificial bee colony algorithm. For the solution of the problem both chaos theory and artificial algorithm are utilized together. Until today chaos theory has been used with numerous heuristic methods. The chaos theory is utilized together with artificial bee colony algorithm through its application on the best individual at the end of the each generation. The artificial bee colony algorithm is a new population based heuristic algorithm that reaches its global minimum at linear and non-convex problems in a short while. In this algorithm the source of inspiration is the nutrition pursuit of the bees in nature. The proposed method is applied to IEEE 30-bus test system. In order to illustrate the efficiency of chaotic artificial bee colony algorithm the results are compared with other findings in the literature.
