Research on Optimal Scheduling of Power System Based on Ant Colony Algorithm

With the development of new energy technology, the installation of new energy is becoming more and more. After a large number of new energy sources are connected to the power system, the capacity of peak regulation and frequency modulation is gradually insufficient, resulting in poor stability of the power system. Aiming at the problem of poor operation stability after new energy is connected to power system, a power system optimization scheduling method based on ant colony algorithm is proposed. In the model, the objective function is to minimize the total operating cost. The improved ant colony algorithm is used to solve the optimal scheduling model, and the effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation. The results show that this method has better ability of peak regulation and frequency modulation after new energy is added to the power system network, the frequency value and active power value of the power system are reduced, the load fluctuation value of the grid is reduced obviously, and the operation of the power system is more stable.
