A solution to the optimal power flow using multi-verse optimizer

Abstract

In this work, the most common problem of the modern power system named optimal power flow (OPF) is optimized using the novel meta-heuristic optimization Multi-verse Optimizer(MVO) algorithm. In order to solve the optimal power flow problem, the IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 57-bus systems are used. MVO is applied to solve the proposed problem. The problems considered in the OPF problem are fuel cost reduction, voltage profile improvement, voltage stability enhancement. The obtained results are compared with recently published meta-heuristics. Simulation results clearly reveal the effectiveness and the rapidity of the proposed algorithm for solving the OPF problem.
