Abstract: In order to solve 0-1 programming problem in fault diagnosis of power network, the paper proposed optimization methods of artificial bee colony algorithm from aspects of algebra and geometry. The simulation results show that the artificial bee colony algorithm is feasible and reasonable, and the overall performance is significantly superior to traditional genetic algorithms; artificial bee colony algorithm based on geometric has better stability and search capabilities than the algorithm based on algebraic, and is more suitable for occasions with high stability and accuracy requirements.
