Abstract
This paper presents a new application of the ant colony search method to the minimum losses reconfiguration of distribution systems. The optimization problem is formulated by taking into account the operational constraints of the distribution systems. The results of the proposed approach are compared to the ones obtained from other deterministic and heuristic methods (iterative improvement, tabu search and simulated annealing) on two test systems.
