A new compensation method for angular rate estimation of non-gyro inertial measurement unit

A new compensation method for angular rate estimation of non-gyro inertial measurement unit (NGIMU) is proposed in terms of the existence of accelerometer mounting error, which seriously affects the precision of navigation parameter estimation. Using the accelerometer output error function, the algorithm compensates the posture parameters in the traditional algorithm of angular rate estimation to reduce the accelerometer mounting error. According to the traditional accelerometer configurations, a novel nine-accelerometer confi-guration of NGIMU is presented with its mathematic model constructed. The semi-hardware simulations of the proposed algorithm are investigated based on the presented NGIMU configuration, and the results show the effectivity of the new algorithm.     

Fuzzy optimization neural network model based on LM algorithm

A new fuzzy optimization neural network model is proposed based on the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm on account of the disadvantages of slow convergence of traditional fuzzy optimization neural network model. In this new model,the gradient descent algorithm is replaced by the LM algorithm to obtain the minimum of output errors during network training,which changes the weights adjusting equations of the network and increases the training speed. Moreover,to avoid the results yielding to local minimum,the transfer function is also revised to sigmoid function. A case study is utilized to validate this new model,and the results reveal that the new model fast training speed and better forecasting capability.     

Selective harmonic elimination method for wide range of modulation indexes in multilevel inverters using ICA

Selective harmonic elimination（SHE） in multilevel inverters is an intricate optimization problem that involves a set of nonlinear transcendental equations which have multiple local minima. A new advanced objective function with proper weighting is proposed and also its efficiency is compared with the objective function which is more similar to the proposed one. To enhance the ability of the SHE in eliminating high number of selected harmonics, at each level of the output voltage, one slot is created. The SHE problem is solved by imperialist competitive algorithm（ICA）. The conventional SHE methods cannot eliminate the selected harmonics and satisfy the fundamental component in some ranges of modulation indexes. So, to surmount the SHE defect, a DC-DC converter is applied. Theoretical results are substantiated by simulations and experimental results for a 9-level multilevel inverter. The obtained results illustrate that the proposed method successfully minimizes a large number of identified harmonics which consequences very low total harmonic distortion of output voltage.

Using genetic algorithm based simulated annealing penalty function to solve groundwater management model

The genetic algorithm (GA) is a global and random search procedure based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. A new optimization method of the genetic algorithm-based simulated annealing penalty function (GASAPF) is presented to solve groundwater management model. Compared with the traditional gradient-based algorithms, the GA is straightforward and there is no need to calculate derivatives of the objective function. The GA is able to generate both convex and nonconvex points within the feasible region. It can be sure that the GA converges to the global or at least near-global optimal solution to handle the constraints by simulated annealing technique. Maximum pumping example results show that the GASAPF to solve optimization model is very efficient and robust.

With a complex wavelet function, a new real-time recursive algorithm of wavelet transform (WT) is analyzed in detail. Compared with the existing recursive algorithm in two directions, the computing time is greatly redueed in response to faults signals in power systems, and the same recursive algorithm can be generalized to other wavelet functions. With the phases and magnitudes of complex WT coefficients under the fast recursive algorithm, a method to detect faults signals of power systems is presented. Lastly, the analyzing results of some signals show that it is effective and practical for the complex wavelet and its real-time recursive algorithm to detect faults of power systems.

The simulation results show that our algorithm has very good performance in terms of success ratio.     

Improved multi-objective artificial bee colony algorithm for optimal power flow problem

The artificial bee colony（ABC） algorithm is improved to construct a hybrid multi-objective ABC algorithm, called HMOABC, for resolving optimal power flow（OPF） problem by simultaneously optimizing three conflicting objectives of OPF, instead of transforming multi-objective functions into a single objective function. The main idea of HMOABC is to extend original ABC algorithm to multi-objective and cooperative mode by combining the Pareto dominance and divide-and-conquer approach. HMOABC is then used in the 30-bus IEEE test system for solving the OPF problem considering the cost, loss, and emission impacts. The simulation results show that the HMOABC is superior to other algorithms in terms of optimization accuracy and computation robustness.
