Multi-Variables, Single Objective Optimal Power Flow of IEEE-14 Bus System Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms

摘要

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm is one of the most nature-inspired algorithms used to solve optimization problems in different engineering fields, including optimal power flow (OPF) in power distribution systems. In this paper, ABC algorithms along with MATLAB software used to optimize IEEE-14 Bus distribution systems, three objectives including the fuel cost, power losses and voltage deviations in IEEE-14 Bus System are merged as one objective function and optimized for the whole system. The ABC algorithm objective function of 8271.59457, fuel cost of 8104.84 ($/h), power losses of 7_.90741 (MW) and voltage deviation of 0.06278 (p.u.). this results help the decision makers and the operators of this kinds of power distribution systems in order to run it in best way and improved efficiency.
