摘要

The growing global emphasis on sustainability has accelerated the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Hybrid renewable energy systems, integrating wind and solar energy, have emerged as efficient alternatives for cleaner energy generation. However, managing Optimal Power Flow (OPF) within these systems remains a critical challenge due to the inherent uncertainties in renewable energy resources and the nonlinear nature of OPF problems. This study proposes a novel hybrid optimization approach—hybrid spotted hyena optimization algorithm—that integrates spotted hyena optimization with a quadratic approximation operator and grasshopper optimization to improve convergence speed, solution quality, and resilience to uncertainties. Uncertainties in wind and solar generation are modeled using Weibull and log-normal probability distributions, respectively, incorporated through Monte Carlo simulations. The algorithm is tested on the modified IEEE-30 bus system. Compared to conventional methods like PSO, GA, and GWO, the proposed model achieved a minimum fuel cost of 658.98 USD/hr, reduced power loss to 3.684 MW, and minimized voltage deviation to 0.0756 p.u., demonstrating significant improvements in efficiency and reliability. These results confirm the broader applicability of the model in achieving sustainable and cost-effective power management in renewable-driven smart grids.
