Abstract

In this paper, a new Hybridization of Bat algorithm with Harmony search algorithm (BAHS) is proposed for solving reactive power dispatch problem. The enhancement includes the addition of pitch modification procedure in HS serving as a mutation operator during the procedure of the bat updating with the aim of speeding up convergence, thus making the approach more feasible for a wider range of real-world applications. The proposed Hybridization of Bat algorithm with Harmony search algorithm (BAHS) algorithm has been tested on standard IEEE 30, IEEE 57 bus test systems and simulation results show clearly the superior performance of the proposed algorithm in reducing the real power loss.
