Abstract EN
Distribution network planning because of involving many variables and constraints is a multiobjective, discrete, nonlinear, and large-scale optimization problem.
Harmony search (HS) algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the improvisation process of music players.
HS algorithm has several impressive advantages, such as easy implementation, less adjustable parameters, and quick convergence.
But HS algorithm still has some defects such as premature convergence and slow convergence speed.
According to the defects of the standard algorithm and characteristics of distribution network planning, an improved harmony search (IHS) algorithm is proposed in this paper.
We set up a mathematical model of distribution network structure planning, whose optimal objective function is to get the minimum annual cost and constraint conditions are overload and radial network.
IHS algorithm is applied to solve the complex optimization mathematical model.
The empirical results strongly indicate that IHS algorithm can effectively provide better results for solving the distribution network planning problem compared to other optimization algorithms.
