This paper proposes a new metaheuristic optimization technique called Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimization (GTO) for solving the probabilistic optimum power flow (POPF) issue in a hybrid power system with photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy (WE) sources. The proposed algorithm was evaluated and compared with other algorithms using standard test systems, and it was proven to be efficient in providing optimal solutions. Furthermore, the results showed that the integration of PV and WE sources significantly reduces the total cost of the system.
This paper proposes a new, metaheuristic optimization technique, Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimization (GTO), for a hybrid power system with photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy (WE) sources, solving the probabilistic optimum power flow (POPF) issue. First, the selected algorithm is developed and evaluated such that it applies to solve the classical optimum power flow (OPF) approach with the total fuel cost as the objective function. Second, the proposed algorithm is used for solving the POPF, including the PV and WE sources, considering the uncertainty of these renewable energy sources (RESs). The performance of the suggested algorithm was confirmed using the standard test systems IEEE 30-bus and 118-bus. Different scenarios involving different sets of the PV and WE sources and fixed and variable loads were considered in this study. The comparison of the obtained results from the suggested algorithm with other algorithms mentioned in this literature has confirmed the efficiency and performance of the proposed algorithm for providing optimal solutions for a hybrid power system. Furthermore, the results showed that the penetration of the PV and WE sources in the system significantly reduces the total cost of the system.
