Operation of Reservoir Based on Chaos Ant Colony Algorithm

The hybrid algorithm based on the chaos optimization algorithm and ant colony algorithm is proposed in this paper. It is an approach to solve the optimal operation issue of a reservoir. According to the randomness and ergodicity of chaos, by searching all the chaos variables and walking all the statuses, the hybrid algorithm can effectively increase the computing efficiency, is easy to improve the stagnation and could not fall into the local optimization. And by using the advantage of positive feedback information of the ant colony algorithm, the researching efficiency is enhanced. The result showed that the algorithm is very efficient and can find the global optimization.
