The invention discloses a multi-constraint optimization method of an
ant colony
algorithm in
transformer substation path planning. The method comprises the steps of optimizing a
pheromone updating mechanism, introducing an elite
ant strategy, establishing a multi-constraint adaptive model, and performing path fine adjustment in combination with a
genetic algorithm. A dynamic
pheromone updating mechanism is adopted, the
pheromone volatilization rate is adjusted according to the search progress, and the exploration speed is increased in the initial stage of the
algorithm; the high-quality path is enhanced in the later stage of search, and the convergence precision is improved; an elite
ant strategy is introduced, and an
ant colony is guided to search towards a
global optimal direction through enhanced updating of a historical optimal solution, so that the quality of path planning is further improved; according to the method, a multi-constraint adaptability model is constructed, and in the
ant colony optimization process, a qualified
route is obtained through normalization
processing and a punishment mechanism of constraint conditions in combination with environmental constraints,
terrain adaptability and
shortest distance optimization factors. Compared with a pheromone updating mechanism of a traditional
ant colony algorithm, the method can find a better path more quickly, and the calculation time is shortened.
