Levy Flight-Based White Wolf Algorithm for Solving Optimal Reactive Power Problem

Abstract

In this work, reactive power problem is solved by levy flight-based white wolf (LFW) algorithm. White wolf actions such as hunting, encircling the prey are imitated to design the algorithm. Mainly population of white wolf will be in stagnation mode in leader wolves. In the projected algorithm, levy flight has been applied in the white wolf algorithm to improve the global search very effectively. Predominantly stagnation of leader white wolf will be evaded, and candidate solution will be enhanced during all phases of the search system. In standard IEEE 14, 30 bus test system levy flight-based white wolf (LFW) algorithm is evaluated. LFW approach reduced the loss efficiently.
