In this paper a hybrid intelligent algorithm combining particle swarm algorithm with natural selection mechanism is proposed and applied to the distributed generation planning. Based on the need of load and cost, a model for distributed generation planning is developed, in which the constraint condition is introduced by the penalty function. Experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the hybrid particle swarm algorithm and the performances of the proposed method and the basic particle swarm algorithm are compared in the example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
