Crow search algorithm for solving optimal power flow problem

A new evolutionary optimization technique, crow search algorithm (CSA) is proposed in this paper for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The algorithm has been implemented on IEEE 30 bus test system to check its effectiveness in solving the OPF problem after satisfying various operational constraints. A comparative study of the results is presented in this paper. Analysis of the results reveals that the algorithm is effective in producing superior results for the system.
