Abstract

In this paper, a genetic algorithm with new multi-parent crossover (GA-MPC) is used for solving the optimal power flow problem. This method is tested on the IEEE 30-bus test system for 10 different cases where, in addition to the total fuel cost, different complexities and constraints like: emission, multi-fuels, valve-point effect and prohibited zones are considered. The effectiveness and robustness of the GA-MPC method are assessed using a statistical study and a comparative study with some well-known optimization methods. The obtained results along with the comparison study indicate that the GA-MPC method provides effective and high-quality solution when solving the optimal power flow problem even for complicated and highly constrained working conditions.
