Improved ant colony algorithm in the distribution of reactive power compensation device and optimization

AbstractAnt colony algorithm is a kind of simulation of collaborative optimization algorithm of ants foraging, imitating ants dependence information communication and social behavior, showing in the agents, on the basis of the definition of a greedy method under the guidance of the catalytic process guide each agent. Put forward improved ant colony algorithm is applied to power system of reactive power optimization, to IEEE14 node system by simulation calculation, the optimal scheme of reactive power compensation, the optimization design and improvement of ant colony algorithm of the optimization results can be more effectively at or near the optimal
