The Application of the Immune Algorithm for Power Network Planning

A new random optimization method——the immune algorithm has been proposed to be applied in the power network planning in this paper. The IEEE-6 system has been used as a sample network to analyze and calculate, and the power network planning method based on the genetic algorithm has been compared with that based on the immune algorithm. The result shows that the immune algorithm is better than the genetic algorithm in global optimization. In this paper, the power network planning method based on the immune algorithm has also been applied in a real power network in China and a good planning result is obtained.
