Ant Colony System-based Applications to Electrical Distribution System Optimization
Electrical distribution networks are structurally weakly meshed, but are typically operated in radial configurations to simplify the network protection schemes. This implies the need to carry out suitable selection of the redundant network branches to open in normal conditions, as well as to define the control variables to set up in order to guarantee effective system operation and voltage qual...
متن کاملAnt Colony System Optimization
Successful heuristic algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems have mimicked processes observed in nature. Two highly successful families of algorithms that do this are simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. Here, a third family of algorithms, ant colony optimization is explored and implemented in C#. The test bed for evaluating the quality of solutions is based on several...
متن کاملRecruiting Ant Colony System
We briefly describe an approach to extend the Ant Colony System by a group recruitment strategy. The underlying idea is very similar to the behavior of real ants, which use e.g. tandem-techniques to guide each other to large food sources. General investigations with small and medium sized colonies have shown that such strategies in combination with mass recruitment (pheromones) increase the foo...
متن کاملThe GPU-based Parallel Ant Colony System
The Ant Colony System (ACS) is, next to Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and the MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS), one of the most efficient metaheuristic algorithms inspired by the behavior of ants. In this article we present three novel parallel versions of the ACS for the graphics processing units (GPUs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such work on the ACS which shares many key elemen...
متن کاملComparison of Ant Colony, Elite Ant system and Maximum – Minimum Ant system Algorithms for Optimizing Coefficients of Sediment Rating Curve (Case Study: Sistan River)
By far, different models for determining the relationship between the flow rate and amount of precipitation have been developed. many models are based on regression models with limited assumptions. one of the most common methods for estimating sediment of rivers is sediment rating curve. for better estimation of the amount of sediment based of sediment curve rating equation, it is possible t...
