- Abstract
Water cycle algorithm (WCA) is a heuristic algorithm proposed in recent years. To overcome the insufficiency of standard WCA algorithm in solving the non-convex optimal power flow (OPF) problems, the multi-objective novel improved water cycle algorithm (MONIWCA) is proposed in this paper. The evaporation process is improved in WCA by introducing evaporation rate and the normal distribution optimization mechanism is used to mutate the individual position. The modified WCA also adopts a constraint-based strategy to ensure zero constraint violations. In order to obtain a high-quality Pareto optimal solution set (POS) and select the best compromise solution (BCs), a global ranking strategy is proposed. The global ranking strategy includes the novel constraint handling method, the rank index calculation and the BCs on fuzzy satisfaction theory to deal with the complex constraints of the optimization problem. The MONIWCA has been simulated under the constraints of zero violations on IEEE 30, IEEE 57 and IEEE 118 standard test systems, including six dual-objective cases and one tri- objective case. The simulation results are compared with the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). The results show that the improved method can effectively solve the MOOPF problem, not only to obtain a uniform continuous Pareto solution set but also to achieve a better compromise solution. In addition, the two performance indicators of the generational distance (GD) and the spacing (SP) also show that the MONIWCA algorithm has uniform distribution, high convergence and strong stability.
