Abstract

Generations from several sources in an electrical network are to be optimally scheduled for economical and efficient operation of the network. Optimal Power Flow (OPF) basically performs an intelligent power flow and optimizes the system operation condition by optimal determination of control variables. The objective of this paper is minimize the total fuel cost of the traditional generators plus the expected cost of an uncertainty cost function for renewable generators while satisfying all operational constraints. The model considers reserve cost for overestimation and penalty cost for underestimation of intermittent renewable sources. In this paper Weibull, Lognormal and Gumbel distributions are used for the wind speed, solar irradiance and river flow respectively. For achieving optimal solution efficiently, it requires a robust and effective solution technique. In this paper, results of the Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) and Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) are compared to dealing with such type of optimal active–reactive power dispatch problems on IEEE-57 bus system.
