Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is widely used for speed estimation in sensorless vector control of induction motor. The major and unsolved issue in the practical implementation of the EKF is the choice of the process and measurement noise covariance matrices. In this paper, a speed estimation method using EKF optimized by improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) is proposed. By combining the a...

This paper presents a new approach using Combined Artificial Neural Network (CANN) module for daily peak load forecasting. Five different computational techniques –Constrained method, Unconstrained method, Evolutionary Programming (EP), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Algorithm (GA) – have been used to identify the CANN module for peak load forecasting. In this paper, a set of ne...

Nature-inspired algorithms (NIAs) have gained a significant popularity in recent years to tackle hard real world problems and solve complex optimization functions whose actual solution does not exist. Many new algorithms have been developed which show their capabilities almost in every aspect, where rapid solutions are needed. A survey of the NIAs that are used to find the optimal digital image...

due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (iir) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. in this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. harmony search (hs), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

This paper presents a novel approach for designing a linear phase digital high pass FIR filter using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) algorithm. Design of FIR f ilter is a multi-modal optimization problem. The conservative gradient based optimization techniques are not efficient for digital filter design. Given the specifications for the filters to be realized, IPSO algorithm generat...

the objective of this paper is to develop an artificial neural network (ann) model which can beused to predict temperature rise due to climate change in regional scale. in the present work data recorded overyears 1985-2008 have been used at training and testing steps for ann model. the multilayer perceptron(mlp) network architecture is used for this purpose. three applied optimization methods a...

In this study we compare the performance of three evolutionary algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant-Colony Optimization (ACO) which are used to optimize the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Optimization of Neural Networks improves speed of recall and may also improve the efficiency of training. Here we have used the Ant colony optimization, Particl...

A layer-encoded interactive evolutionary algorithm (IEA) for optimization of design parameters of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) low noise amplifier is presented. The IEA comprises a combination of the genetic algorithm (GA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The layer-encoding structure allows human intervention in order to accelerate the process of evolutio...

With the rapid development of the internet, the amount of information and data which are produced, are extremely massive. Hence, client will be confused with huge amount of data, and it is difficult to understand which ones are useful. Data mining can overcome this problem. While data mining is using on cloud computing, it is reducing time of processing, energy usage and costs. As the speed of ...

In this paper, event related potential (ERP) generated due to hand movement is detected through the adaptive noise canceller (ANC) from the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. ANCs are implemented with least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS), recursive least square (RLS) and evolutionary algorithms like particle swarm optimization (PSO), bacteria foraging optimization (BFO)...
