Static security analysis of power system networks using soft computing techniques

In this paper an EP and PSO based optimization algorithms have been proposed for solving optimal power flow problems with multiple objective functions. These algorithms take into consideration all the equality and inequality constraints. The improvement in system performance is based on reduction in cost of power generation and fuzzy based network security. The proposed algorithms have been compared with the other methods reported in the literature. Simulation studies have been carried out for the optimal solutions of the IEEE 30-bus systems.
