abstract

in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of original aco. by proposed algorithm, a group of the best solutions can be obtained thatcalled pareto front. none of these solutions are completely better than others among this pareto front. furtheremore, another objective function, i.e., voltage profile index has been separately considered to have better comparison between pareto front members. simulations have been performed on two standard ieee 16-bus and 33-bus test systems. the results show that the proposed heuristic modifiedalgorithm generates welldistributed pareto optimal solutions for the multi-objective reconfiguration problem.

Ant Colony Optimization for Multi-objective Digital Convergent Product Network

Convergent product is an assembly shape concept integrating functions and sub-functions to form a final product. To conceptualize the convergent product problem, a web-based network is considered in which a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes and each arc in the network is considered to be a link between two nodes. The aim is to find an optimal tree of functionali...

Ant Colony Optimization Method Applied to Distribution Network Reconfiguration

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a meta-heuristic iterative algorithm used to solve different combinatorial optimization problems. In this method, a number of artificial ants build solutions for an optimization problem and exchange information on their quality through a communication scheme that is similar to the one adopted by real ants. In this paper, Ant Colony Optimization is used to solve ...
