ABSTRACT: The control and study of electric power system require solution of Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem which is considered one of the most difficult optimization problems. The objective of OPF is finding the most secure operating point or the best control variables while considering equality and inequality constraints of the system, and optimizing certain objective functions. In this paper, five objective functions are considered: minimization of total generation fuel cost, voltage profile improvement, voltage stability enhancement, minimization of active power transmission losses and reactive power losses minimization. Modified Driving-Training Based Optimization (MDTBO) algorithm is used to solve the OPF problem. Driving-Training-Based Optimization (DTBO) is a human-based metaheuristic algorithm based on the simulation of driving training process. With MDTBO, a new method for choosing the number of driving learners and instructors is introduced. To evaluate the proposed method, the standard IEEE 30-bus network is used and results is compared to another metaheuristic algorithm such as Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The results show that the proposed approach is competitive with other algorithms.

ABSTRACT: All studies in electrical energy network have the main objective of ensuring the stability of the network. This is the case of the numerical calculation of load flow, which consists in dertemining the voltage drops by calculating bus voltages and powers, and also the losses and the limits of the network from the powers and currents transited in branches. Various electrical simulation software already exists, but this work aims to implement a more flexible tool with an exploitable source code in order to be able to customize the program for particular networks. The application with mesh networks showed that the numerical resolution method of Newton-Raphson, although it is more complicated in terms of calculation, converges faster than that of Gauss-Seidel.
