An Enhanced Moth Flame Algorithm for Peak Load Distribution Optimization

Abstract

Peak load distribution optimization (PLD) is a typical multi-constrained nonlinear optimization problem considered an essential vital part of the power system to achieve energy-saving and consumption reduction. This study introduces an enhanced version of the moth flame optimization algorithm (EMFO) for the PLD problem. The actual operation constraints of the power system of the PLD are modeled for the objective function of optimization. In the experimental section, the IEEE-bus benchmark system is used as the case study to test the performance of the proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme can solve the power system PLD problem with feasibility and significant economic benefits.
