Simple heuristics-based selection of guides for multi-objective PSO with an application to electrical distribution system planning

In multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), a proper selection of local guides significantly influences detection of non-dominated solutions in the objective/solution space and, hence, the convergence characteristics towards the Pareto-optimal set. This paper presents an algorithm based on simple heuristics for selection of local guides in MOPSO, named as HSG-MOPSO (Heuristics-based-Selection-of-Guides in MOPSO). In the HSG-MOPSO, the set of potential guides (in a PSO iteration) consists of the non-dominated solutions (which are normally stored in an elite archive) and some specifically chosen dominated solutions. Thus, there are two types of local guides in the HSG-MOPSO, i.e., non-dominated and dominated guides; they are named so as to signify whether the chosen guide is a non-dominated or a dominated solution. In any iteration, a guide, from the set of available guides, is suitably selected for each population member. Some specified proportion of the current population members follow their respective nearest non-dominated guides and the rest follow their respective nearest dominated guides. The proposed HSG-MOPSO is firstly evaluated on a number of multi-objective benchmark problems along with investigations on the controlling parameters of the guide selection algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of two well-known guide selection methods for evolutionary multi-objective optimization, namely the Sigma method and the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm-2 (SPEA2) implemented in PSO framework. Finally, the HSG-MOPSO is evaluated on a more involved real world problem, i.e., multi-objective planning of electrical distribution system. Simulation results are reported and analyzed to illustrate the viability of the proposed guide selection method for MOPSO.     

Towards faster convergence of evolutionary multi-criterion optimization algorithms using Karush Kuhn Tucker optimality based local search

Evolutionary multi-criterion optimization (EMO) algorithms emphasize non-dominated and less crowded solutions in a population iteratively until the population converges close to the Pareto optimal set. During the search process, non-dominated solutions are differentiated only by their local crowding or contribution to hypervolume or using a similar other metric. Thus, during evolution and even at the final iteration, the true convergence behavior of each non-dominated solutions from the Pareto optimal set is unknown. Recent studies have used Karush Kuhn Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions to develop a KKT Proximity Measure (KKTPM) for estimating proximity of a solution from Pareto optimal set for a multi-objective optimization problem. In this paper, we integrate KKTPM with a recently proposed EMO algorithm to enhance its convergence properties towards the true Pareto optimal front. Specifically, we use KKTPM to identify poorly converged non-dominated solutions in every generation and apply an achievement scalarizing function based local search procedure to improve their convergence. Assisted by the KKTPM, the modified algorithm is designed in a way that maintains the total number of function evaluations as low as possible while making use of local search where it is most needed. Simulations on both constrained and unconstrained multi- and many objectives optimization problems demonstrate that the hybrid algorithm significantly improves the overall convergence properties. This study brings evolutionary optimization closer to mainstream optimization field and should motivate researchers to utilize KKTPM measure further within EMO and other numerical optimization algorithms.     

基于粒子记忆体的多目标微粒群算法*

Variable neighborhood search for multi-objective resource allocation problems

The Resource Allocation Problem (RAP) is a classical problem in the field of operations management that has been broadly applied to real problems such as product allocation, project budgeting, resource distribution, and weapon-target assignment. In addition to focusing on a single objective, the RAP may seek to simultaneously optimize several expected but conflicting goals under conditions of resources scarcity. Thus, the single-objective RAP can be intuitively extended to become a Multi-Objective Resource Allocation Problem (MORAP) that also falls in the category of NP-Hard. Due to the complexity of the problem, metaheuristics have been proposed as a practical alternative in the selection of techniques for finding a solution. This study uses Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithms, one of the extensively used metaheuristic approaches, to solve the MORAP with two important but conflicting objectives—minimization of cost and maximization of efficiency. VNS searches the solution space by systematically changing the neighborhoods. Therefore, proper design of neighborhood structures, base solution selection strategy, and perturbation operators are used to help build a well-balanced set of non-dominated solutions. Two test instances from the literature are used to compare the performance of the competing algorithms including a hybrid genetic algorithm and an ant colony optimization algorithm. Moreover, two large instances are generated to further verify the performance of the proposed VNS algorithms. The approximated Pareto front obtained from the competing algorithms is compared with a reference Pareto front by the exhaustive search method. Three measures are considered to evaluate algorithm performance: D1_R, the Accuracy Ratio, and the number of non-dominated solutions. The results demonstrate the practicability and promise of VNS for solving multi-objective resource allocation problems.     

Fuzzy-Pareto-dominance driven possibilistic model based planning of electrical distribution systems using multi-objective particle swarm optimization

This paper presents a fuzzy-Pareto dominance driven possibilistic model based planning of electrical distribution systems using multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). This multi-objective planning model captures the possibilistic variations of the system loads using a fuzzy triangular number. The MOPSO based on the Pareto-optimality principle is used to obtain a set of non-dominated solutions representing different network structures under uncertainties in load demands and these non-dominated solutions are stored in an elite archive of limited size. Normally, choosing the candidate non-dominated solutions to be retained in the elite archive while maintaining the quality of the Pareto-approximation front as well as maintaining the diversity of solutions on this front is very much computationally demanding. In this paper, the principles of fuzzy Pareto-dominance are used to find out and rank the non-dominated solutions on the Pareto-approximation front. This ranking in turn is used to maintain the elite archive of limited size by discarding the lower ranked solutions. The two planning objectives are: (i) minimization of total installation and operational cost and (ii) minimization of risk factor. The risk factor is defined as a function of an index called contingency-load-loss index (CLLI), which captures the effect of load loss under contingencies, and the degree of network constraint violations. The minimization of the CLLI improves network reliability. The network variables that are optimized are: (i) number of feeders and their routes, and (ii) number and locations of sectionalizing switches. An MOPSO (developed by the authors), based on a novel technique for the selection and assignment of leaders/guides for efficient search of non-dominated solutions, is used as the optimization tool. The proposed planning approach is validated on a typical 100-node distribution system. Performance comparisons between the planning approaches with the possibilistic and deterministic load models are provided highlighting the relative merits and demerits. It is also verified that the proposed solution ranking scheme based on the fuzzy-Pareto dominance is very much better from both quality and computational burden point of view in comparison with the other well-known archive truncation techniques based on clustering and solution density measurement etc.

基于小生境的多目标进化算法

Pareto-Optimal Sustainable Transportation Network Design under Spatial Queuing

This paper presents a multi-objective network design problem with environmental considerations for urban networks with queues. A spatial queuing link model is introduced to take account of the spatial effect of queuing. With this more realistic link performance function capturing spatial queuing, the network equilibrium flow patterns can be more accurately identified. Furthermore, to better estimate vehicle emissions, this paper proposes a refined emission estimation model, which distinguishes between travel speeds in free-running state and queue-forming state over a link. A multi-objective bi-level programming is then developed, in which the upper-level problem optimizes the investment decisions, whereas the lower-level problem characterizes the user equilibrium with spatial queuing delays. The metaheuristic of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is adopted to solve the multi-objective network design problem. Numerical tests on the Sioux Falls network and the Barcelona network confirm the effectiveness of our proposed model and algorithm in identifying queuing equilibrium flows and Pareto optimal solutions. The refined models and valuable information about trade-offs among objectives are particularly helpful for environmentally sustainable transport network planning.
