Solving Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem by Chaotic Based Brain Storm Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

<jats:p>In this work Chaotic Predator-Prey Brain Storm Optimization (CPS) algorithm is proposed to solve optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Predator–Prey Brain Storm Optimization position cluster centers to execute as predators, accordingly it will progress towards enhanced positions, although the left over thoughts do as preys; consequently they move far from their neighboring predators. In the projected algorithm chaotic theory has been applied to enhance the quality of the exploration. Ergodicity and indiscretion are utilized in the CPS algorithm, such that projected algorithm will not get trapped in the local optimal solution. Chaotic predator-prey brain storm optimization (CPS) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and results show the projected algorithm reduced the real power loss effectively.</jats:p>
