Abstract
This paper presents a developed solution based on gorilla troops optimization technique for OPFP in EPSs. The GTOT is motivated by gorillas’ group behaviors in which several methods are replicated, such as migration to an unfamiliar location, traveling to other gorillas, migration toward a specific spot, accompanying the silverback, and competing for adult females. The multi-dimension OPFP in EPSs is examined in this article with numerous optimizing objectives of fuel cost, power losses, and harmful pollutants. The system’s power demand and transmission losses must be met as well. The developed GTOT’s evaluation is conducted using an IEEE standard 30-bus EPS and practical EPS from Egypt. The created GTOT is employed in numerous evaluations and statistical analyses using many modern methods such as CST, GWT, ISHT, NBT, and SST. When compared to other similar approaches in the literature, the simulated results demonstrate the GTOT’s solution efficiency and robustness.
