Abstract

In this Scientific Initiation work, a study of artificial immune systems (AIS) and later the development of a simple method based on AIS will be developed to find solutions that will serve as start solutions (initial solutions) to search for methods of solutions available in the literature. In this case, it is intended to find solutions existing in the memory databases with partial affinity to the problem analysis and use of these solutions to initialize search methods available in the literature solutions. The object to initialize the search for solutions it being a good solution is to direct the search by limiting the search space solutions and thereby reducing processing time. To evaluate the performance of the method is intended to apply it in power distribution systems restoration problems and allocation of distributed generation in electricity distribution systems. To this end, there will be a theoretical study on the solution Tabu Search techniques and Genetic Algorithm with respect to the initial solution of these methods and a study of CIS. Next will be elaborated method of strategy and its implementation in a high-level programming language. Finally it is intended to simulate power distribution systems restoration and allocation of distributed generation through existing software starting with initial good quality solutions found by the method developed based on AIS.
