Comparative Analysis of Nature-Inspired Algorithms for Optimal Power Flow Problem: A Focus on Penalty-Vanishing Terms and Algorithm Performance by Gerardo Castanon, Alberto F. Martinez-Herrera, Ana Maria Sarmiento, Alejandro Aragon-Zavala, Fernando Lezama

“…The study involves the implementation of different nature-inspired heuristics and variants of the differential evolution algorithm to analyze their efficacy in solving the OPF problem within the context of large networks, specifically IEEE-30 and IEEE-57. The objectives of this research are threefold: (i) to determine the most effective nature-inspired algorithms for each case under consistent constraints, initial conditions, and using optimized parameters, (ii) to assess the success rate of penalty-vanishing terms concerning the penalized function versus the actual objective function, and (iii) to explore the impact of minor variations within a network on the behaviors, results, and profiles of penalty-vanishing terms. …”
