The objective of the OPF problem is to minimize total cost of thermal units while satisfying the unit and system constraints such as generator capacity limits, power balance, line flow limits, bus voltages limits, and transformer tap settings limits. The ABC algorithm is an optimization method inspired from the foraging behavior of honey bees. The proposed algorithm has been tested on the IEEE 30-bus, 57-bus, and 118-bus systems. The numerical results have indicated that the proposed algorithm can find high quality solution for the problem in a fast manner via the result comparisons with other methods in the literature. Therefore, the proposed ABC algorithm can be a favorable method for solving the OPF problem. © 2013 Luong Le Dinh et al. date: 2013 publisher: ScientificWorld Ltd. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84896264609&doi=10.1155%2f2013%2f159040&partnerID=40&md5=20fba859421c8390edfbb39beeae5034 id_number: 10.1155/2013/159040 full_text_status: none publication: The Scientific World Journal volume: 2013 refereed: TRUE issn: 1537744X citation: Le Dinh, L. and Vo Ngoc, D. and Vasant, P.
