Optimal operational planning of large distribution systems with Ant Colony Search

Аннотация

Abstract – This paper illustrates and discusses an origi-nal technique based on the Ant Colony Search (ACS), applied to the optimal location of remote controllers for the switches in the substations of large MV distribution systems. Starting from the basic concepts of ACS, the solution strategy of the proposed method has been specifi-cally formulated in order to take into account the reliabil-ity aspects that make the installation of new remote con-trollers convenient. Results obtained on a large real MV distribution system are presented.
