Optimal Power Flow Analysis Using Pelican Optimization Algorithm

This research paper introduces a highly effective and dependable method for addressing the optimal power flow (OPF) issues with application of an evolutionary-based approach. In this research work, Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA) has been applied to compute the optimal values and parameters related to the OPF problem. The efficient exploration and exploitation phases of POA enhances the evaluation of the OPF fitness function without getting stuck in the local optima. The effectiveness of POA for the OPF has been evaluated on IEEE 30-bus system, considering various goals likes minimizing fuel cost, improving voltage profile, and enhancing voltage stability. The outcomes highlighted that POA demonstrated promising results in comparison to the latest optimization techniques that has been implemented for OPF solutions.
