The invention discloses a
cascade hydropower station group optimized dispatching method based on an improved
quantum-behaved
particle swarm algorithm. The problems that
local optimum happens to the
quantum-behaved
particle swarm algorithm at the later iteration period due to
premature convergence for the reason that
population diversity is decreased, and an obtained
hydropower station group dispatching scheme is not the optimal scheme are mainly solved. The
hydropower station group optimized dispatching method based on the improved
quantum-behaved
particle swarm algorithm is characterized by comprising the steps that first, power stations participating in calculation are selected, and the corresponding constraint condition of each
power station is set; then, a two-dimensional real number matrix is used for encoding individuals; afterwards, a
chaotic initialization
population is used for improving the quality of an initial
population, the fitness of each particle is calculated through a penalty
function method, the individual extreme value and the global extreme value are updated, an update strategy is weighed, the optimum center location of the population is calculated, neighborhood
mutation search is conducted on the
global optimum individual, the positions of all the individuals in the population are updated according to a formula, and whether a stopping criterion is met or not is judged. The hydropower station group optimized dispatching method based on the improved quantum-behaved particle swarm
algorithm is easy to operate, small in number of
control parameters, high in convergence rate, high in computation speed, high in robustness, reasonable and effective in result, and applicable to optimized dispatching of
cascade hydropower station groups and optimal allocation of
water resources.
