In power systems, the power flow must satisfy a set of operational and safety requirements. It is a highly nonlinear problem to optimize the power flow. In this paper, the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is modified and applied to optimize the power flow. Firstly, the author set up a mathematical model for power flow optimization problem, and formulated all the constraints. Next, the FPA was introduced in details, including the self-pollination, cross-pollination and other operations. After that, the local search strategy of the FPA was modified to replace the worst individuals in the current population with the best individuals in the previous population. Finally, the modified FPA (MFPA) was proved more efficient and better in convergence than standard algorithms like the firefly algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
