In view of the serious reactive power loss in the rural network, improved ant colony optimization algorithm （ACOA） was used to optimize the reactive power compensation for the rural distribution system. In this study, the traditional ACOA was improved in two aspects： one was the local search strategy, and the other was pheromone mutation and re-initialization strategies. The reactive power optimization for a county＇s distribution network showed that the improved ACOA was practicable.
Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was used to develop a standard model to analyze and evaluate nearness degree of water environment quality at breeding area of Shuidong Bay in China.Results showed that certain environment contamination factors in some areas seriously exceeded the standard value and led to the whole water quality at the third class level.The measurements should be taken to promote the sustainable development of breeding area in Shuidong Bay.
