Abstract

High current amounts, low voltage level and radial structure assign high percentage of active power loss in distribution system. There are many means in reducing the active power loss of distribution networks; this paper introduces an ant colony algorithm to solve the optimal network reconfiguration and capacitor placement problem for power loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement in distribution networks. The ant colony algorithm was inspired from natural behavior of the ant colonies on how they find the food source and bring them back to their nest by building the unique trial formation. Ants of artificial colony are able to search for the successively shorter feasible routes by using information accumulated in the form of a pheromone trial deposited on the edge of their traveling path. The proposed approach is demonstrated employing one distribution network. Computational results show that by taking into account feeder reconfiguration and capacitor placement simultaneously, one can be minimize losses more efficiently by considering them separately

基于蚁群算法的配电系统重构与电容布置

大电流、低电压和径向结构决定了配电系统有功损耗的高比例。降低配电网有功损耗的方法有很多;本文介绍了一种蚁群算法，用于解决配电网中降低损耗和提高电压分布的最优网络重构和电容器布置问题。蚁群算法的灵感来自于蚁群的自然行为，即它们如何通过构建独特的试验队形来找到食物来源并将它们带回巢穴。人工蚁群的蚁群能够利用蚁群移动路径边缘的信息素试验积累的信息，依次寻找较短的可行路径。该方法以一个配电网为例进行了验证。计算结果表明，同时考虑馈线重构和电容器布置，可以更有效地减小损耗
