In this paper, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted to design a modified ring-slot type patch rectenna with a resonance frequency of 2.45GHz. In order to accomplish minimization of dimensions and circular polarization (CP) and harmonic suppression, axial direction slits and side-cuts are added to the patch of the ring. The PSO manipulated this kind of multi-dimensional problem very well, and as a result, the designed rectenna shows a desirable performance of return loss of 21.36dB and axial ratio of 2.92dB at the frequency of 2.45GHz with compact sizing.

This paper addresses a particle swarm optimization-based approach for solving a generating unit maintenance scheduling problem(GMS) with some constraints. We focus on the power system reliability such as reserve ratio better than cost function as the objective function of GMS problem. It is shown that particle swarm optimization-based method is effective in obtaining feasible schedules such as GMS problem related to power system planning and operation. In this paper, we find the optimal solution of the GMS problem within a specific time horizon using particle swarm optimization algorithm. Simple case study with 16-generators system is applicable to the GMS problem. From the result, we can conclude that PSO is enough to look for the optimal solution properly in the generating unit maintenance scheduling problem.

본 논문은 Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)을 이용하여 고속 2차원 디지털필터의 설계방법을 제안하였다. 먼저 2차원 상태공간 디지털필터의 설계문제를 PSO에 적용하기 위하여 최소화 문제로써 형식화 과정이 논의된다. 제안된 PSO 알고리즘을 이용한 설계방법은 필터설계에서 요구되는 안정성을 보증하는 과정이 검토되어 개선된다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법의 타당성을 설계예시를 통해 고찰한 결과, 설계된 디지털필터는 동일한 설계사양으로 기존의 설계방법으로 설계된 디지털필터보다 근사 및 라운드오프 오차 면에서 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 아울러 제안된 2의 멱수가 필터계수인 2차원 상태공간 디지털필터는 승산기가 필요하지 않아 기존의 필터보다 연산과정에서 계산용량을 약 1/4로 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

This paper describes a new stochastic heuristic algorithm in engineering problem optimization especially in power system applications. An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) called adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO), mixed with simulated annealing (SA), is introduced and referred to as APSO-SA. This algorithm uses a novel PSO algorithm (APSO) to increase the convergence rate and incorporate the ability of SA to avoid being trapped in a local optimum. The APSO-SA algorithm efficiency is verified using some benchmark functions. This paper presents the application of APSO-SA to find the optimal location, type and size of flexible AC transmission system devices. Two types of FACTS devices, the thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and the static VAR compensator (SVC), are considered. The main objectives of the presented method are increasing the voltage stability index and over load factor, decreasing the cost of investment and total real power losses in the power system. In this regard, two cases are considered: single-type devices (same type of FACTS devices) and multi-type devices (combination of TCSC, SVC). Using the proposed method, the locations, type and sizes of FACTS devices are obtained to reach the optimal objective function. The APSO-SA is used to solve the above non.linear programming optimization problem for better accuracy and fast convergence and its results are compared with results of conventional PSO. The presented method expands the search space, improves performance and accelerates to the speed convergence, in comparison with the conventional PSO algorithm. The optimization results are compared with the standard PSO method. This comparison confirms the efficiency and validity of the proposed method. The proposed approach is examined and tested on IEEE 14 bus systems by MATLAB software. Numerical results demonstrate that the APSO-SA is fast and has a much lower computational cost.

This paper presents accurate solutions for nonlinear transcendental equations of the selective harmonic elimination technique used in three-phase PWM inverters feeding the induction motor by particle swarm optimization (PSO). With the proposed approach, the required switching angles are computed efficiently to eliminate low order harmonics up to the $23^{rd}$ from the inverter voltage waveform, whereas the magnitude of the fundamental component is controlled to the desired value. A set of solutions and the evaluation of the proposed method are presented. The obtained results prove that the algorithm converges to a precise solution after several iterations. The salient contribution of the paper is the application of the particle swarm algorithm to attenuate successfully any undesired loworder harmonics from the inverter output voltage. The current paper demonstrates that the PSO is a promising approach to control the operation of a three-phase voltage source inverter with a selective harmonic elimination strategy to be applied in induction motor drives.

This paper proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, which is improved by making use of the Harmony Search (HS) approach and called HS-PSO algorithm. A computer code is developed for optimal sizing design of non-linear steel frames with various semi-rigid and rigid beam-to-column connections based on the HS-PSO algorithm. The developed code selects suitable sections for beams and columns, from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange W-shapes, such that the minimum total cost, which comprises total member plus connection costs, is obtained. Stress and displacement constraints of AISC-LRFD code together with the size constraints are imposed on the frame in the optimal design procedure. The nonlinear moment-rotation behavior of connections is modeled using the Frye-Morris polynomial model. Moreover, the P-${\Delta}$ effects of beam-column members are taken into account in the non-linear structural analysis. Three benchmark design examples with several types of connections are presented and the results are compared with those of standard PSO and of other researches as well. The comparison shows that the proposed HS-PSO algorithm performs better both than the PSO and the Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) methods.

본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 분산 분포되어 있는 센서 노드들의 측위를 위해 Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 자신의 위치를 모르는 센서 노드들은 셋 이상의 인접한 앵커, 즉, 위치를 알고 있는 노드들로부터의 거리를 측정하여 측위를 수행한다. 이러한 과정이 반복하는 동안 측위를 수행한 센서 노드들은 나머지 노드들에 대하여 또 다른 앵커 역할을 수행한다. 성능 평가를 위해 기존의 PSO 알고리즘에 대비하여, BPSO를 이용한 측위 오류 및 계산 시간 성능을 매트랩 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 PSO 기반의 측위가 상대적으로 더 정확한 결과를 보여준다. 대조적으로, BPSO 알고리즘은 분산되어 있는 센서 노드들의 위치 측위를 더 빠르게 수행한다. 추가적으로, 전송 범위와 초기 앵커 노드들의 수가 측위 성능에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 수행한다.

The optimal power flow (OPF) problem was introduced by Carpentier in 1962 as a network constrained economic dispatch problem. Since then, it has been intensively studied and widely used in power system operation and planning. In the past few decades, many stochastic optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Evolutionary Programming (EP), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have been applied to solve the OPF problem. In particular, PSO is a newly proposed population based stochastic optimization algorithm. The main idea behind it is based on the food-searching behavior of birds and fish. Compared with other stochastic optimization methods, PSO has comparable or even superior search performance for some hard optimization problems in real power systems. Nowadays, some modifications such as breeding and selection operators are considered to make the PSO superior and robust. In this paper, we propose the Modified PSO (MPSO), in which the mutation operator of GA is incorporated into the conventional PSO to improve the search performance. To verify the optimal solution searching ability, the proposed approach has been evaluated on an IEEE 3D-bus test system. The results showed that performance of the proposed approach is better than that of the standard PSO.

본 논문에서는 최근 Xin-She Yang에 의해 소개된 반딧불이 알고리즘(FA)에 휴리스틱을 적용하여 개선하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 이를 위하여 기존의 FA를 이와 유사한 문제영역의 알고리즘인 Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)와 정확도 측면, 수렴 시간 측면, 각 입자의 움직임 측면에서 비교 분석한다. 비교 실험 결과, FA의 정확도는 PSO보다 나쁘지 않았지만, 수렴 속도는 느린 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 이에 대한 직관적인 원인을 고찰하고, 이를 극복하기 위해, 기존의 FA에 부분 돌연변이 휴리스틱을 적용하여 개선된 FA(Improved FA)를 제안한다. 벤치마크 함수들을 최적화 하는 비교 실험 결과, 개선된 FA가 PSO와 기존의 FA보다 정확도와 수렴속도 측면에서 우수함을 보이고자 한다.
