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 ...

In order to effectively solve combinatorial optimization problems, the Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) combine to form a new ED-PSO hybrid algorithm, the algorithm can effectively apply global statistical information and global optimal solution to the solution space search. This algorithm is used to solve the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (MK...

This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

one of the most important fuel cells (fcs) is proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfcs). the outputvoltage of this fc depends on current loads. this paper tries to introduce, implement and control the voltage ofpemfc, during load variations. the output voltage of fuel cell should be constant during load variation. toachieve this goal, a controller should be designed. here, the lead-lag contr...

voltage profile and losses are important factors in a distribution network in which there arevariety of ways to improve them. in this paper, distributed generation (dg) is used as a solutionto improve the above characteristics. backward/forward sweep load flow algorithm is used dueto the inefficiency of usual load flow algorithms because of high r/x ratio and their lack ofconvergence in distrib...

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. The new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the  combination of  the  conventional θ-PSO and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (SSPSO) technique. It is known that the θ-PSO algorithm has better optimization performance than standard PSO al...

A new model for evolving the structure of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The model is a hybrid technique that combines a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a PSO algorithm. Each GA chromosome is an array encoding a meaning for updating the particles of the PSO algorithm. The evolved PSO algorithm is compared to a human-designed PSO algorithm by using ten artifi...

In this paper a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to design a compact stepped triangle shape antenna in order to obtain the proper UWB bandwidth as defined by FCC.

-Aiming at the shortcoming of basic PSO algorithm, that is, easily trapping into local minimum, we propose an advanced PSO algorithm with SA and apply this new algorithm for solving TSP problem. The core of algorithm is based on the PSO algorithm. SA method is used to slow down the degeneration of the PSO swarm and increase the swarm’s diversity. The comparative experiments were made between PS...
