Abstract
This paper presents a solution technique for optimal power flow (OPF) with valve-point effect and prohibited operating zones of power systems using backtracking search algorithm (BSA). BSA is a new population-based evolutionary algorithm. The most important property of the algorithm is not over precision to initial of value, unlike many other heuristic algorithms. The proposed algorithm having four different cases is tested on IEEE-30 bus test system. The results of BSA are compared to those reported in literature. Thus, its validity for so applications in this area is proved. In this paper, OPF problem of power systems is solved by BSA for the first time. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
