A modified ABC algorithm for solving optimal power flow problem

This paper presents a modified artificial bee colony (MABC) algorithm for
solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem in power system. Artificial bee
colony algorithm is a recent population-based optimization method which has
been successfully used in many complex problems. A new mutation strategy
inspired from the differential evolution (DE) is introduced in order to
improve the exploitation process. The new algorithm is implemented to the
OPF problem so as to minimize the total generation cost when considering the
equality and inequality constraints. In order to validate of the proposed
algorithm, it is applied to the standard IEEE 30-bus test system. The
results show that the proposed technique provides better solutions than
other heuristic techniques reported in literature.
