Research on Fault Location Method for Distribution Network Based on Improved Ant Colony Algorithm
It is of great significance to improve the capability of real-time monitoring and fault location for ensuring the normal operation of power distribution network.In this paper,an improved ant colony algo-rithm is used to locate distribution network faults.Based on the structural characteristics of distribution net-work,pheromone initialization and dynamic pheromone updating strategies are designed to improve the con-vergence speed and location accuracy of the algorithm.The simulation results show that the improved ant colony algorithm has good accuracy and better convergence speed than the traditional ant colony algorithm.
