Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm in Power System Network Reconfiguration

With the rapid development of the social economy, the rapid development of all social circles places higher demands on the electricity industry. As a fundamental industry supporting the salvation of the national economy, society, and human life, the electricity industry will face a significant improvement and the restructuring of the network as an important part of the power system should also be optimised. This paper first introduces the development history of swarm intelligence algorithm and related research work at home and abroad. Secondly, it puts forward the importance of particle swarm optimization algorithm for power system network reconfiguration and expounds the basic principle, essential characteristics, and basic model of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. This paper completes the work of improving PSO through the common improved methods of PSO and the introduction of mutation operation and tent mapping. In the experimental simulation part, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to simulate the 10-machine 39-bus simulation system in IEEE, and the experimental data are compared with the chaos genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization discrete algorithm. Through the experimental data, we can know that the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm has the least number of actions in switching times, only 4 times, and the chaos genetic algorithm and discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm are 5 times; compared with the other two algorithms, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm has the fastest convergence speed and the highest convergence accuracy. The improved particle swarm optimization algorithm proposed in this paper provides an excellent solution for power system network reconfiguration and has important research significance for power system subsequent optimization and particle swarm optimization algorithm improvement
