Abstract

Using the new method and roulette wheel, the traditional ant colony algorithm is improved in the aspect of searching process and pheromone modification. The defects of low searching efficiency and easy to fall into local minimum in traditional ant colony algorithm are remedied, the validity of the improved algorithm has been verified using a testing function. Moreover,a satisfactory optimum solution for a power distribution network planning has been obtained. And the effective design method for permanent-magnet synchronous motor has been suggested based on the improved ACA.
