A Multi-objective problems occurs wherever optimal solution necessary to be taken in the presence of tradeoffs between more than one conflicting objectives. Usually the population’s values of MOPSO algorithm are random which leads to random search quality. Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Multi Objective Functions with Uniform Design (MOPSO-UD), is proposed to enhance the accuracy of the pa...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has received increasing attention in solving multi-objective economic dispatch (ED) problems in power systems because of parallel computation, faster convergence, and easier implementation. This paper presents a detailed overview of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and provides a comprehensive survey on its applications in power system econom...

In this paper, we illustrate a novel optimization approach based on Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and Fuzzy Ant Colony Optimization (FACO). The basic idea is to combine these two techniques using the best particle of the Fuzzy Ant algorithm and integrate it as the best local Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), to formulate a new approach called hybrid MOPSO with FACO (H-MOP...

We consider an optimization deployment problem of multistatic radar system (MSRS). Through the antenna placing and the transmitted power allocating, we optimally deploy the MSRS for two goals: 1) the first one is to improve the coverage ratio of surveillance region; 2) the second goal is to get a even distribution of signal energy in surveillance region. In two typical working modes of MSRS, we...

Multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is a search algorithm based on social behavior. Most of the existing multi-objective particle swarm optimization schemes are based on Pareto optimality and aim to obtain a representative non-dominated Pareto front for a given problem. Several approaches have been proposed to study the convergence and performance of the algorithm, particularly ...

This paper presents a new multi-objective optimization algorithm in which multi-swarm cooperative strategy is incorporated into particle swarm optimization algorithm, called multi-swarm cooperative multi-objective particle swarm optimizer (MC-MOPSO). This algorithm consists of multiple slave swarms and one master swarm. Each slave swarm is designed to optimize one objective function of the mult...

numerous problems encountered in real life cannot be actually formulated as a single objective problem; hence the requirement of multi-objective optimization (moo) had arisen several years ago. due to the complexities in such type of problems powerful heuristic techniques were needed, which has been strongly satisfied by swarm intelligence (si) techniques. particle swarm optimization (pso) has ...

In this article we describe a novel Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach to multi-objective optimization (MOO), called Time Variant Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (TV-MOPSO). TV-MOPSO is made adaptive in nature by allowing its vital parameters (viz., inertia weight and acceleration coefficients) to change with iterations. This adaptiveness helps the algorithm to explore the s...

This paper proposes a novel multi-objective model for an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem considering inherent uncertainty in processing times and due dates. The problem is characterized by non-zero ready times, sequence and machine-dependent setup times, and secondary resource constraints for jobs. Each job can be processed only if its required machine and secondary resource (if a...

This paper presents the application of modified form of Particle Swarm Optimization as an optimization technique to the reconfiguration of electric distribution systems. The intended reconfiguration is an optimization and decision-making process which considers the maximization of the number of loads supplied associated to the minimization of the number of closed switches. A novel selection reg...
