The complexity of achieving optimal power flow in the presence of renewable resources decreases the accuracy and optimality levels of the power system due to the associated intermittency and uncertainty. The increased challenge of large-scale deployment of wind energy necessitates the proper modeling of wind impact on power system security and reliability levels. This article discusses a new reliable power flow optimization tool that accounts for wind power availability and uncertainty. An accurate wind forecast model is created to maintain power system security considering wind power variability. The error of the forecasting phase is included in the proposed model to accurately predict the available wind power. In this work, the scattered wind data is converted into informative frequency distribution considering the effect of averaging around integers, halves, and quarters. The proposed method maximizes the utilization level of wind energy without deteriorating the system security. The accuracy of the new proposed work is presented by comparing its results with other models discussed in the literature. A complete and integrated formulation of the objective function has been accomplished. The cost function includes transmission losses, generation operating costs, generation gas emissions, and valve-point effects. Reliable and efficient optimization algorithms are adopted to minimize the established cost function of the system ⎯namely, teaching-learningbased optimization and symbiotic organisms search algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated using the IEEE 39-bus system.
