Optimal Planning for Photovoltaic System Using a New Heuristic Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an efficient and reliable evolutionary-based approach to solve the Optimal Planning of Photovoltaic (OPPV) system problem by considering the reliability requirement and economical performance. The shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is a powerful approach for complex optimization problem, but its performance relies strongly on suitable model parameters. The proposed improved SFLA (ISFLA) shows explicit strategy to select proper values of parameters and improves local exploration to avoid being trapped in local optimal. Simulation results show that the ISFLA performs better compared with conventional SFLA and a simple genetic algorithm (GA).
