Terminal optimization layout based on competitive mechanism particle swarm optimization algorithm

Distribution automation is an important means to improve power supply reliability, enhance power quality, and achieve safe and reliable operation of the distribution network. How to optimize the location of distribution automation terminals and achieve a balance between the reliability and economy of power supply in the distribution network is an important issue facin g the construction of the distribution network. A particle swarm optimization algorithm based on competition mechanism is proposed for optimizing the layout of distribution automation terminals. By introducing competition mechanism, the probability of the algorithm getting stuck in local optimal solutions is reduced and the convergence speed is improved to optimize the terminal layout.
