Application of QGA algorithm improved by gradient descent in fault diagnosis and location of distributed distribution network

Abstract

AbstractA fault diagnosis and localization approach for distributed distribution networks is created using an upgraded quantum genetic algorithm to swiftly identify and detect flaws in the network. In this method, the dynamic rotation strategy in gradient descent method is used to update the quantum gate to enhance the convergence speed, that is, the gradient descent quantum genetic algorithm is constructed. The results of single fault and multiple fault simulation test on the distribution network model of regional node of distributed power supply show that the average iteration of gradient descent quantum genetic algorithm 85.36, 86.35, 88.24, and 88.69 times can reach the target optimal value. In four different cases, the algorithm of gradient descent quantum genetic algorithm can reach the optimal by iterating 88, 91, 92, and 90 times, respectively. Compared with other algorithms, the convergence rate of gradient descent quantum genetic algorithm is the fastest in the four experimental cases. The consistency between the output score and the real score of the gradient descent quantum genetic algorithm is above 0.9. The results above show that the algorithm is effective. The optimization ability and stability of the algorithm are also stronger, and it has certain application potential.
