Power network planning with ant colony algorithm

Abstract

At present, mathematic model for power grid program has more requirement, traditional method can't fulfil it. Ant colony algorithm has been successfully used to solve NP problem in many fields. In this paper, a new ant colony algorithm of improving key parameters to solve power network planning is presented. For a given power network model, this algorithm will find out the best routing path only if it exits. Some examples show that this algorithm is more intelligent and efficient than other ones.
