Shrinkage of Active Power Loss by Hybridization of Flower Pollination Algorithm with Chaotic Harmony Search Algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, Hybridization of flower pollination algorithm with chaotic harmony search algorithm (HFPCHS) is proposed to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem. This method integrates the standard Flower Pollination algorithm (FP) with the chaotic Harmony Search (HS) algorithm to improve the searching accuracy. By using chaotic sequences in Harmony search Algorithm can be helpful to progress the consistency of the global optimality, and they also augment the quality of the results.   The proposed HFPCHS has been tested on standard IEEE 57 bus test system and simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss.
