A NOVEL CHAOTIC FLOWER POLLINATION ALGORITHM FOR FUNCTION OPTIMIZATION AND CONSTRAINED OPTIMAL POWER FLOW CONSIDERING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

A novel chaotic flower pollination algorithm for function optimization and constrained optimal power flow considering renewable energy sources

This study presents an improved chaotic flower pollination algorithm (CFPA) with a view to handle the optimal power flow (OPF) problem integrating a hybrid wind and solar power and generate the optimal settings of generator power, bus voltages, shunt reactive power, and tap setting transformers.In spite of the benefits of FPA, it encounters two pro
