Abstract
Power flow in energy systems is one of the major problems. Several classical analysis methods are utilized for solving this problem. However, power generation limits, valve loading effects of units also makes the power flow problem become much harder to solve in the system. In this case, it is possible to achieve the most appropriate solutions with evolutionary algorithms. In this study, optimal power flow problems are solved under same beginning conditions, comprehensively performed with evolutionary algorithms which are recently used and associated algorithm performance is analyzed in IEEE 30-bus test system for two cases. Energy gains of algorithms are obtained; the best, worst and mean values found from optimization are evaluated; convergence analyses are performed comparatively. Thus the effectiveness and efficiency of evolutionary algorithms are clearly demonstrated on solution of optimal power flow problems.
