A comparative study of multi-objective optimal power flow based on particle swarm, evolutionary programming, and genetic algorithm

This paper compares the performance of three population-based algorithms including particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP), and genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the multi-objective optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The unattractive characteristics of the cost-based OPF includ...
