Assessment of distribution system reliability using artificial bee colony algorithm

This paper addresses the usefulness of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization algorithm for assessment of distribution system reliability. The penalty cost functions are formulated which is related to the failure rate and repair time of each distribution segment. And also, satisfy the reliability constraint such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI and AENS. The finest values of failure rate and repair time cost function are evaluated using ABC algorithm for reliability enhancement. The performance comparison between ABC and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm also has been done in this paper. In addition, for showing the effectiveness of proposed methodology the numerical results have been compared to the different intelligent techniques that are available in the published literature.
