Abstract

In this paper, the multi objective optimization of minimization of real power transmission line loss and voltage deviation at the buses is achieved with the application of Firefly Algorithm (FA), which is a Meta heuristic algorithm. Through this nature inspired algorithm, the control parameters such as voltages at the generator buses, tap settings of transformers and the rating of reactive power compensation devices are controlled. Because of the intrinsic properties of FA, the output is said to be effective than other optimization techniques present. The proposed FA for the multi objective optimization is implemented on the IEEE 30 bus system.
