This paper proposes an effective approach based on binary coding Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to identify the switching operation plan for feeder reconfiguration. The proposed method considers the advantages and disadvantages of existing particle swarm optimization method and redefined the operators of PSO algorithm to fit the application field of distribution systems. Shift operator is proposed to construct the binary coding particle swarm optimization for feeder reconfiguration. A typical distribution system of Taiwan Power Company is used in this paper to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The test results show that the proposed method can apply to feeder reconfiguration problems more effectively and stably than existing method.

This study investigates some of swarm intelligence algorithms to tackle a traditional damage detection problem having stiffness degradation or damage in mechanical structures. Particle swarm(PSO) and ant colony optimization(ACO) methods have been exploited for localizing and estimating the location and extent damages in a structure. Both PSO and ACO are population-based, stochastic algorithms that have been developed from the underlying concept of swarm intelligence and search heuristic. A finite element (FE) model updating is implemented to minimize the difference in a set of natural frequencies between measured and baseline vibration data. Stiffness loss of certain elements is considered to simulate structural damages in the FE model. It is numerically shown that PSO and ACO algorithms successfully completed the optimization process of model updating in locating unknown damages in a truss structure.

Genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are the most famous optimization techniques among various modern heuristic optimization techniques. These two approaches identify the solution to a given objective function, but they employ different strategies and computational effort; therefore, a comparison of their performance is needed. This paper presents the application and performance comparison of the PSO and GA optimization techniques for a static synchronous series compensator-based controller design. The design objective is to enhance power system stability. The design problem of the FACTS-based controller is formulated as an optimization problem, and both PSO and GA optimization techniques are employed to search for the optimal controller parameters.

Purpose - Going concern is one of fundamental concepts in accounting and auditing and sometimes the assessment of a company's going concern status that is a tough process. Various going concern prediction models' based on statistical and data mining methods help auditors and stakeholders suggested in the previous literature. Research design - This paper employs a data mining approach to prediction of going concern status of Iranian firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange using Particle Swarm Optimization. To reach this goal, at the first step, we used the stepwise discriminant analysis it is selected the final variables from among of 42 variables and in the second stage; we applied a grid-search technique using 10-fold cross-validation to find out the optimal model. Results - The empirical tests show that the particle swarm optimization (PSO) model reached 99.92% and 99.28% accuracy rates for training and holdout data. Conclusions - The authors conclude that PSO model is applicable for prediction going concern of Iranian listed companies.

This paper presents the power scheduling of a multi-microgrid (MMG) system using an optimization technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO technique has been shown to be most effective at solving the various problems of the economic dispatch (ED) in a power system. In addition, a new MMG system configuration is proposed in this paper, through which the optimal power flow is achieved. Both optimization and power trading methods within an MMG are studied. The results of implementing PSO in an MMG system for optimal power flow and cost minimization are obtained and compared with another attractive and efficient optimization technique called the genetic algorithm (GA). The comparison between these two effective methods provides very competitive results, and their operating costs also appear to be comparable. Finally, in this study, power scheduling and a power trading method are obtained using the MATLAB program.

In this paper a new particle swarm ray optimization algorithm is proposed for truss shape and size optimization with natural frequency constraints. These problems are believed to represent nonlinear and non-convex search spaces with several local optima and therefore are suitable for examining the capabilities of new algorithms. The proposed algorithm can be viewed as a hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the recently proposed Ray Optimization (RO) algorithms. In fact the exploration capabilities of the PSO are tried to be promoted using some concepts of the RO. Five numerical examples are examined in order to inspect the viability of the proposed algorithm. The results are compared with those of the PSO and some other existing algorithms. It is shown that the proposed algorithm obtains lighter structures in comparison to other methods most of the time. As will be discussed, the algorithm's performance can be attributed to its appropriate exploration/exploitation balance.

본 연구는 제설작업의 효율성을 높일 수 있도록 제설차량의 작업구간 할당 및 제설기지 위치를 최적화할 수 있는 PSO 알고리듬을 제시하였다. 기존의 PSO 알고리듬을 개선하여 해공간의 탐색 성능을 높일 수 있는 개선된 알고리듬을 제시하였으며, 제설차량의 작업구간 할당 문제에 적용할 수 있도록 개체의 표현 및 적합도 합수값을 제시하였다. 또한 제시한 알고리듬의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 지자체의 실제 사례에 적용하였으며, 기존 알고리듬과 개선된 알고리듬을 비교하였다. 그 결과 개선된 PSO의 경우 기존 알고리듬보다 폭넓게 해공간을 탐색하여 지역해에 빠지지 않고 더 우수한 해를 도출하는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 개별 제설차량의 작업부하가 평준화될 수 있도록 작업구간을 할당할 수 있으며, 할당된 작업구간에 가장 가까운 지점을 도출하여 제설전진기지의 위치를 결정하는데 활용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a development of an educational simulator of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and application for solving the test functions and economic dispatch (ED) problems with nonsmooth cost functions. A particle swarm optimization is one of the most powerful methods for solving global optimization problems. It is a population-based search algorithm and searches in parallel using a group of particles similar to other AI-based heuristic optimization techniques. In developed simulator, lecturers and students can select the functions for simulation and set the parameters that have an influence on PSO performance. To improve searching capability for ED problems, a crossover operation is proposed to the position update of each individual (CR-PSO). To verify the feasibility of CR-PSO method, numerical studies have been performed for two different sample systems. The proposed CR-PSO method outperforms other algorithms in solving ED problems.

본 논문은 사용자 행동인식을 위해 기존 PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘의 경계선을 통한 데이터 분류에서 데이터의 수집환경에 의해 발생하는 문제를 벡터의 길이비교를 이용한 보정을 통해 보완한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 PSO 알고리즘은 데이터 분류를 위해서 데이터의 최소, 최대값을 이용하여 경계를 생성하고, 이를 이용하여 데이터를 분류하였다. 그러나 PSO를 이용하여 행동인식을 할 때 행동이 수집되는 환경에 따라서 경계에 포함되지 못해 행동이 분류되지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 분류의 문제를 보완하기 위해 경계를 벗어난 데이터와 각 행동을 대표하는 데이터의 벡터 길이를 계산하고 최소길이를 비교하여 분류한다. 실험결과, 기존 PSO 방법에 비해 개선된 방법이 평균적으로 앉기 1%, 걷기 7%, 서기 7%의 개선된 결과를 얻었다.

물리탐사 자료의 역산 해를 찾는데 흔히 이용되는 결정론적 해법은 지역 최소점에 빠져 적절한 해에 수렴하지 못할 가능성이 크다는 단점이 존재한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안 중 하나는 확률론적 접근법에 기반한 전역 최적화 방법을 이용하는 것이며, 여러 방법들 중에서 입자 군집 최적화(Particle Swarm Optimization, PSO)법의 적용사례가 많이 소개되었다. 이 논문에서는 PSO법을 이용한 소형루프 전자탐사 자료의 층서 구조 전기비저항 역해석 알고리즘을 개발하고 합성자료를 이용하여 역산실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 기존의 Gauss-Newton 알고리즘으로는 최적의 역산해를 찾는데 어려움이 있는 소형루프 전자탐사 자료의 역산 시도에 PSO 방법을 적용하면 성공률을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
