An improved quantum artificial fish swarm algorithm (IQAFSA) for solving distributed network programming considering distributed generation is proposed in this work. The IQAFSA based on quantum computing which has exponential acceleration for heuristic algorithm uses quantum bits to code artificial fish and quantum revolving gate, preying behavior, and following behavior and variation of quantu...

A generic constraint handling framework for use with any swarm-based optimization algorithm is presented. For swarm optimizers to solve constrained optimization problems effectively modifications have to be made to the optimizers to handle the constraints, however, these constraint handling frameworks are often not universally applicable to all swarm algorithms. A constraint handling framework ...

In this paper, we study a robot swarm that has to perform task allocation in an environment that features periodic properties. In this environment, tasks appear in different areas following periodic temporal patterns. The swarm has to reallocate its workforce periodically, performing a temporal task allocation that must be synchronized with the environment to be effective. We tackle temporal ta...

protection systems have vital role in network reliability in short circuit mode and proper operating for relays. current transformer often in transient and saturation under short circuit mode causes mal-operation of relays which will have undesirable effects. therefore, proper and quick identification of current transformer saturation is so important. in this paper, an artificial neural network...

flexible ac transmission systems (facts) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. in this paper, in order to find type, size and location of facts devices in a power system a dedicated improved particle swarm optimization (dipso) algorithm is developed for de...

According to researches, activation was a minor strategy of improving Particle Swarm Algorithm. For proofing the possibility of activation strategy could be a main strategy for improving Particle Swarm Algorithm, this article adopt the concept of mutation in Genetic Algorithm to improve Particle Swarm Optimization. The experimental results show three advantages for the activation strategies. Fi...

Particle swarm optimization is affected by premature convergence, no guarantee in finding optimal solution, lack of solution amongst other issues. This paper reviews many literature on PSO and proposes a Hybrid MultiSearch Sub-Swarm PSO by using multiple sub swarm PSO in combination with multi search space algorithm. The particles are divided into equal parts and deployed into the number of sub...
