In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, experts are looking to substitute fossil fuel energy with renewable energy for environmentally sustainable and emission free societies. This paper presents the hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) with grey wolf optimization (GWO), namely a hybrid PSO-GWO algorithm for the solution of optimal power flow (OPF) problems integrated with stochastic solar photovoltaics (SPV) and wind turbines (WT) to enhance global search capabilities towards an optimal solution. A solution approach is used in which SPV and WT output powers are estimated using lognormal and Weibull probability distribution functions respectively, after simulation of 8000 Monte Carlo scenarios. The control variables include the forecast real power generation of SPV and WT, real power of thermal generators except slack-bus, and voltages of all voltage generation buses. The total generation cost of the system is considered the main objective function to be optimized, including the penalty and reserve cost for underestimation and overestimation of SPV and WT, respectively. The proposed solution approach for OPF problems is verified on the modified IEEE 30 bus test system. The performance and robustness of the proposed hybrid PSO-GWO algorithm in solving the OPF problem is assessed by comparing the results with five other metaheuristic optimization algorithms for the same test system, under the same control variables and system constraints. Simulation results confirm that the hybrid PSO-GWO algorithm performs well compared to other algorithms and shows that it can be an efficient choice for the solution of OPF problems.
