Abstract
One of the most intractable problems in power system networks is the optimal power flow problem (OPF). The firefly algorithm (FA), among the most popular meta-heuristic nature-inspired algorithms, is used to solve the OPF problem. This research uses FA to solve the optimal power flow problem with the addition of a solar energy system. The goal of this study is to reduce total fuel cost, minimize L-index (voltage stability index) and minimizing real power loss. The effect of incorporation of renewable energy system into OPF problem is studied on 30-bus IEEE test system. The proposed method has been implemented in MATLAB program, and these results are compared with various algorithms available in the existing literature.
