One of the main goals of this paper is to investigate the applicability of the ACS-based algorithm in the power system optimization
problems. Test results show that the proposed ACS-based algorithm
can offer a near-optimum solution for switch relocation. The comparisons of the proposed method with a genetic-algorithm-based method
are also shown in the test results to demonstrate the values of the proposed method.
Keywords: Ant colony system, genetic algorithm, customer interruption cost, reliability improvement, switch relocation, distribution
automation.
