Abstract

Optimal power flow Pelican optimization algorithm Renewable energy resources Uncertainty
This paper proposes solving the non-convex stochastic optimal power flow problem of a power system incorporating uncertain and intermittent renewable energy resources by an improved pelican optimization algorithm (IPOA). The POA, inspired from the foraging the behavior of pelicans, has stagnation problems and may trap into local optima. To avoid these, this paper has developed and implemented three novel improvements of mutation-based strategy, fitness distance balanced and exploitation-based gorilla troops strategies to enhance the exploitation and exploration strength of the traditional POA. The performance and effectiveness of the proposal are validated through statistical and non-parametric tests conducted via CEC 2019 test suite. In addition, IPOA is further used to solve a stochastic optimal power flow problem by integration of solar and wind energy to the modified IEEE 30-bus system to attain the lessen generation cost without and with inclusion of emissions. Statistical and non-parametric tests such as Wilcoxon ranking and Friedman tests validate the effectiveness of the proposed IPOA and the obtained least power generation costs and emissions for the considered numerical case studies.
