1. Introduction
.
Optimal Power flow(OPF) is allocating loads to plants for minimum cost

while meeting the network constraints. It is formulated as an

optimization problem of minimizing the total fuel cost of all committed

plant while meeting the network(power flow ) constraints. The variants

of the problems are numerous which model the objective and the

constraints in different ways.

The basic OPF problem can described mathematically as a

minimization of problem of

Minimizing the total fuel cost of all committed plants subject to the

constraints.

F( Pi) is the fuel cost equation of the ‘i’th plant. It is the variation of fuel

cost ($ or Rs) with generated power (MW).Normally it is expressed as

continuous quadratic equation.

The total generation should meet the total demand and transmission

loss. The transmission loss can be determined from power flow.

LFij≤ Line flow limits (A7)

2. Solution by PSO Algorithm

1.Collect the busdata,line data and cost coefficients and their limits.

2. Convert the constrained optimization problem as an unconstrained

problem by penalty

function method.

3.The file .opf2.m is a function file which returns the fuel cost,

voltage ,Generation, and transmission loss. Pflow.m is the power flow

routine

I am using the PSO toolbox developed by Mr Brian birge.I thank him for

the excellent tool. It can be downloaded form matlab central file

exchange.
4. Change your default folder as psoopf. Just run psoopf26 or psoopf30

to simulate the opf. The results will be displayed on the command

window. This is the simulation result of ieee 30 bu system.
