Application of Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Electric Power Line Overhaul Plan

Electric power line overhaul plan is an important issue on power system and engineering practice. As particle swarm optimization is to be a new intelligent algorithm. It is gradually applied into power system these years. This paper provides a relative mathematical model to solve the problems in power line overhaul. Particle swarm optimization algorithm has advantages of less parameters setting and highly optimizing speed. Take these advantages; we make an optimal order of electric power line overhaul. It is proved that the application of particle swarm optimization algorithm to electric power line overhaul plan is feasible.
