Abstract: Aiming at the drawbacks of slow convergence speed and low success rate of intelligent optimization algorithms in dealing with fault location problems in distribution networks, a quantum ant colony algorithm based on the combination of quantum computing and ant colony algorithm is proposed for fault location in distribution networks. Firstly, considering the distortion and loss of information uploaded by the feeder terminal unit (FTU), a hierarchical positioning mathematical model is proposed that takes into account the false alarm information of FTU. Secondly, the basic principles and application schemes of quantum ant colony algorithm are introduced. Finally, simulation is conducted on MATLAB to verify the effectiveness of the quantum ant colony algorithm and the hierarchical localization mathematical model that takes into account FTU false alarm information.

Key words: fault location of distribution network, quantum ant colony algorithm, FTU false alarm, hierarchical positioning model
