Opposition-based modified differential evolution algorithm (OMDE) is proposed for solving power System economic load dispatch in this paper. This algorithm integrates the opposition-based learning operation with the crossover operation to enhance the convergence of the algorithm and to prevent the algorithm from being trapped into the local optimum effectively. Besides, we employed a new strategy to dynamic adjust mutation rate (MR) and crossover rate (CR), which is aimed at further improving algorithm performance. Based on 6 units and 13 units power system experiment simulations, the OMDE has demonstrated stronger convergence and stability than original differential (DE) algorithm and other improved algorithms that reported in recent literature.

In this paper, a modified differential evolution algorithm (MDE) developed to solve unconstrained numerical optimization problems. The MDE algorithm employed random position updating and disturbance operation to replaces the traditional mutation operation. The former can rapidly enhance the convergence of the MDE, and the latter can prevent the MDE from being trapped into the local optimum effectively. Besides, we dynamic adjust the crossover rate (CR), which is aimed at further improving algorithm performance. Based on several benchmark experiment simulations, the MDE has demonstrated stronger convergence and stability than original differential (DE) algorithm and its two improved algorithms (JADE and SaDE) that reported in recent literature.

Differential evolution (DE) is a population-based stochastic function minimizer (or maximizer), whose simple yet powerful and straightforward features make it very attractive for numerical optimization. However, DE is easy to trapped into local optima. In this paper, an improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE) proposed to speed the convergence rate of DE and enhance the global search of DE. The IDE employed a new mutation operation and modified crossover operation. The former can rapidly enhance the convergence of the MDE, and the latter can prevent the MDE from being trapped into the local optimum effectively. Besides, we dynamic adjust the scaling factor (F) and the crossover rate (CR), which is aimed at further improving algorithm performance. Based on several benchmark experiment simulations, the IDE has demonstrated stronger convergence and stability than original differential (DE) algorithm and other algorithms (PSO and JADE) that reported in recent literature.

In this research, an improved differential evolution algorithm with a restart technique (DE-R) is designed for solutions of systems of nonlinear equations which often occurs in solving complex computational problems involving variables of nonlinear models. DE-R adds a new strategy for mutation operation and a restart technique to prevent premature convergence and stagnation during the evolutionary search to the basic DE algorithm. The proposed method is evaluated on various real world and synthetic problems and compared with the recently developed methods in the literature. Experiment results show that DE-R can successfully solve all the test problems with fast convergence speed and give high quality solutions. It also outperforms the compared methods.

Objective: In this paper, an improved hybrid differential evolution (IHDE) algorithm based on differential evolution (DE) algorithm and particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been proposed to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem of power system which is a multi-constrained, large-scale and nonlinear optimization problem. Method: In IHDE algorithm, the DE is employed as the main optimizer; and the three factors of PSO, which are inertia, cognition, and society, are used to improve the mutation of DE. Then the learning mechanism and the adaptive control of the parameters are added to the crossover, and the greedy selection considering the value of penalty function is proposed. Furthermore, the replacement mechanism is added to the IHDE for reducing the probability of falling into the local optimum. The performance of this method is tested on the IEEE30-bus and IEEE57-bus systems, and the generator quadratic cost and the transmission real power losses are considered as objective functions. Results: The simulation results demonstrate that IHDE algorithm can solve the OPF problem successfully and obtain the better solution compared with other methods reported in the recent literatures.

To efficiently enhance the global search and local search of Differential Evolution algorithm ( DE), A modified differential evolution algorithm (MDE) is proposed in this paper. The MDE and the DE are different in two aspects. The first is the MDE Algorithm use a strategy of Pitch adjustment instead of original mutation operation, this can enhance the convergence of the MDE, the second is integrate the opposed-learning operation in the crossover operation to prevent DE from being trapped into local optimum. Four test functions are adopted to make comparison with original DE, the MDE has demonstrated stronger velocity of convergence and precision of optimization than differential DE algorithm and PSO.

In this paper, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is designed using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm to Load Frequency Control (LFC) in three areas of an interconnected power system. The proposed controller has appropriate dynamic response, so it increases damping in transient state in unhealthy conditions. Different generators have been used in three areas. Area 1 includes thermal non-reheat generator and two thermal reheat generators; area 2 includes hydro and thermal non-reheat generators, and area 3 includes hydro and thermal reheat generators. In order to evaluate the performance of the controller, Sim/Matlab software is used. Simulation results show that the controller designed using DE algorithm is not affected by load changes, disturbance, or system parameters changes. Comparing the results of proposed algorithm with other load frequency control algorithms, such as PSO and GA, it has been found that this method has a more appropriate response and satisfactory performance
