Multi-objective voltage and frequency regulation in autonomous microgrids using Pareto-based Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm

Voltage and frequency regulation is one of the most vital issues in autonomous microgrids to ensure an acceptable electric power quality supply to customers. In this paper, a real-time control structure including power, voltage, and current control loops is proposed for microgrid inverters to restore voltage and frequency of the system after the initiation and load changes. The Proportional-Integral (PI) gains of the voltage controller are optimized in a real-time basis after a perturbation in the microgrid to have a fast and smooth response and a more stable system. The current controller produces Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation command signals to be fed into the three-leg inverter. The multi-objective optimization problem has objective functions of voltage overshoot/undershoot, rise time, settling time, and Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). The modified Multi-Objective Hybrid Big Bang-Bing Crunch (MOHBB-BC) algorithm is employed as one of efficient evolutionary algorithms in order to solve the optimization problem. The MOHBB-BC method obtains a set of Pareto optimal solutions; a fuzzy decision maker is used to pick up the most preferred Pareto solution as the final solution of the problem. Results from testing the control strategy on a case study are discussed and compared with previous works; according to them, the proposed method is able to obtain dynamic PI regulator gains to have a more appropriate response.     

混合量子算法及其在flow shop问题中的应用

量子进化算法（QEA）是目前较为独特的优化算法,它的理论基础是量子计算。算法充分借鉴了量子比特的干涉性、并行性,使得QEA求解组合优化问题具备了可行性。由于在求解排序问题中,算法本身存在收敛慢,没有利用其它未成熟个体等缺陷,将微粒群算法（PSO）及进化计算思想融入QEA中,构成了混合量子算法（HQA）。采用flow shop经典问题对算法进行了测试,结果证明混合算法克服了QEA的缺陷,对于求解排序问题具有一定的普适性。

Hybrid control of a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) robot arm using an inverse NARX fuzzy model

We investigated the possibility of applying a hybrid feed-forward inverse nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX) fuzzy model-PID controller to a nonlinear pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) robot arm to improve its joint angle position output performance. The proposed hybrid inverse NARX fuzzy-PID controller is implemented to control a PAM robot arm that is subjected to nonlinear systematic features and load variations in real time. First the inverse NARX fuzzy model is modeled and identified by a modified genetic algorithm (MGA) based on input/output training data gathered experimentally from the PAM system. Second the performance of the optimized inverse NARX fuzzy model is experimentally demonstrated in a novel hybrid inverse NARX fuzzy-PID position controller of the PAM robot arm. The results of these experiments demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the proposed control approach compared to traditional PID control strategies. Consequently, the good performance of the MGA-based inverse NARX fuzzy model in the proposed hybrid inverse NARX fuzzy-PID position control of the PAM robot arm is demonstrated. These results are also applied to model and to control other highly nonlinear systems.

Fruit fly optimization algorithm based on a hybrid adaptive-cooperative learning and its application in multilevel image thresholding

Multilevel thresholding is widely exploited in image processing, however, most of the techniques are time-consuming. In this paper, we present a novel approach, multilevel thresholding with fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA). As yet, FOA has not been applied to resolve the complex image processing problems. Nevertheless, the merits of FOA were validated in former research, which include few parameters, simple structure, easy to understand and implement. Here, we introduce it into the study of multi-threshold image processing area. Moreover, we incorporate a hybrid adaptive-cooperative learning strategy with the proposed method called HACLFOA. The fruit fly population is divided into two sub-populations and both of them have a different iteration step range. In addition, each dimension of the solution vector will be optimized during one search, and we also make the best of the temporary global optimum information. The results of computational experiments on 24 benchmark functions demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has superior global convergence ability against other algorithms. Most significantly, extensive results show that the proposed algorithm is time-saving in multilevel image thresholding, and that it has great potential in the image processing field.     

A novel hybrid gravitational search and pattern search algorithm for load frequency control of nonlinear power system

In this paper, a hybrid gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and pattern search (PS) technique is proposed for load frequency control (LFC) of multi-area power system. Initially, various conventional error criterions are considered, the PI controller parameters for a two-area power system are optimized employing GSA and the effect of objective function on system performance is analyzed. Then GSA control parameters are tuned by carrying out multiple runs of algorithm for each control parameter variation. After that PS is employed to fine tune the best solution provided by GSA. Further, modifications in the objective function and controller structure are introduced and the controller parameters are optimized employing the proposed hybrid GSA and PS (hGSA-PS) approach. The superiority of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing the results with some recently published modern heuristic optimization techniques such as firefly algorithm (FA), differential evolution (DE), bacteria foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), hybrid BFOA-PSO, NSGA-II and genetic algorithm (GA) for the same interconnected power system. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is performed by varying the system parameters and operating load conditions from their nominal values. Also, the proposed approach is extended to two-area reheat thermal power system by considering the physical constraints such as reheat turbine, generation rate constraint (GRC) and governor dead band (GDB) nonlinearity. Finally, to demonstrate the ability of the proposed algorithm to cope with nonlinear and unequal interconnected areas with different controller coefficients, the study is extended to a nonlinear three unequal area power system and the controller parameters of each area are optimized using proposed hGSA-PS technique.
