Abstract

This paper projects Enhanced Seeker Optimization (ESO) algorithm for solving optimal reactive power problem. Seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) models the deeds of human search population based on their memory, experience, uncertainty reasoning and communication with each other. In Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm the colony consists of three groups of bees: employed bees, onlookers and scouts. All bees that are presently exploiting a food source are known as employed bees. The number of the employed bees is equal to the number of food sources and an employed bee is allocated to one of the sources. In this paper hybridization of the seeker optimization algorithm with artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has been done to solve the optimal reactive power problem. Enhanced Seeker Optimization (ESO) algorithm combines two different solution exploration equations of the ABC algorithm and solution exploration equation of the SOA in order to progress the performance of SOA and ABC algorithms. At certain period's seeker's location are modified by search principles obtained from the ABC algorithm, also it adjust the inter-subpopulation learning phase by using the binomial crossover operator. In order to evaluate the efficiency of proposed Enhanced Seeker Optimization (ESO) algorithm it has been tested in standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other specified algorithms. Simulation results clearly indicate the best performance of the proposed Enhanced Seeker Optimization (ESO) algorithm in reducing the real power loss and voltage profiles are within the limits.
