英文摘要：

The traditional ant colony optimization has defects of being trapped in a local optimal solution at the later searching stage. This paper proposes a method of chaos ant colony optimization for power generation of cascade reservoir by improving the field search mechanisms and taking the advantages of ergodicity in chaos algorithm, and presents a verification on the parameters of this method. A case study shows that the method is effective and reliable in solving the optimization problem, and thus it provides a new way of solution searching for operation optimization of cascade reservoirs with high dimension and complexity.
