Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...

This paper proposes a refined version of particle swarm optimization technique for the optimum design of steel structures. Swarm is composed of a number of particles and each particle in the swarm represents a candidate solution of the optimum design problem. Design constraints in accordance with ASD-AISC (Allowable Stress Design Code of American Institute of Steel Institution) are imposed by t...
