Abstract
Ant Colony Algorithm is a heuristic search algorithm based on probability selection. It fits for solving the reactive power optimization problem of distribution network, but at the same time, easily falling into the problems of local optimal solution. So Dual Population Improved Ant Colony Algorithm is used to study Reactive Power Optimization Solution. Finally, with an actual example calculation and analysis, and node voltage comparison with and without compensation, the results are proved to be satisfactory. It verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm and the results show that the algorithm has better effect on optimization.
