REDUCTION OF ACTIVE POWER LOSS BY ADAPTIVE CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH ALGORITHM

This paper presents a new optimization algorithm called Adaptive Charged System Search Algorithm (ACA) for solving optimal power problem. Coulomb law from electrostatics and the Newtonian laws of mechanics are forming the basics of the proposed algorithm. Adaptive Charged System Search Algorithm (ACA) is a multi-agent approach in which each agent is a Charged Particle (CP) & they affect each other based on their fitness values, separation of distances. The quantity of the resultant force is determined by using the electrostatics laws and the quality of the movement is determined using Newtonian mechanics laws. Proposed Adaptive Charged System Search Algorithm (ACA) has been tested in Standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems & real power loss has been comparatively reduced with voltage profiles are within the limits.
