Hybrid bare-bones PSO for dynamic economic dispatch with valve-point effects

This paper presents an efficient hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve dynamic economic dispatch problems with valve-point effects, by integrating an improved bare-bones particle swarm optimization (BBPSO) with a local searcher called directionally chaotic search (DCS). The improved BBPSO is designed as a basic level search, which can give a good direction to optimal regions, while DCS is used as a fine-tuning operator to locate optimal solution. And an adaptive disturbance factor and a new genetic operator are also incorporated into the improved BBPSO to enhance its search capability. Moreover, a heuristic handing mechanism for constraints is introduced to modify infeasible particles. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the 5-, 10-, 30-unit-test power systems and several numerical functions, and a comparative study is carried out with other existing methods. Results clarify the significance of the proposed algorithm and verify its performance.

Particle swarm-based olfactory guided search

This article presents a new algorithm for searching odour sources across large search spaces with groups of mobile robots. The proposed algorithm is inspired in the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. In this method, the search space is sampled by dynamic particles that use their knowledge about the previous sampled space and share this knowledge with other neighbour searching particles allowing the emergence of efficient local searching behaviours. In this case, chemical searching cues about the potential existence of upwind odour sources are exchanged. By default, the agents tend to avoid each other, leading to the emergence of exploration behaviours when no chemical cue exists in the neighbourhood. This behaviour improves the global searching performance. The article explains the relevance of searching odour sources with autonomous agents and identifies the main difficulties for solving this problem. A major difficulty is related with the chaotic nature of the odour transport in the atmosphere due to turbulent phenomena. The characteristics of this problem are described in detail and a simulation framework for testing and analysing different odour searching algorithms was constructed. The proposed PSO-based searching algorithm and modified versions of gradient-based searching and biased random walk-based searching strategies were tested in different environmental conditions and the results, showing the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, were analysed and discussed.

An improved vector particle swarm optimization for constrained optimization problems

Increasing attention is being paid to solve constrained optimization problems (COP) frequently encountered in real-world applications. In this paper, an improved vector particle swarm optimization (IVPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve COPs. The constraint-handling technique is based on the simple constraint-preserving method. Velocity and position of each particle, as well as the corresponding changes, are all expressed as vectors in order to present the optimization procedure in a more intuitively comprehensible manner. The NVPSO algorithm [30], which uses one-dimensional search approaches to find a new feasible position on the flying trajectory of the particle when it escapes from the feasible region, has been proposed to solve COP. Experimental results showed that searching only on the flying trajectory for a feasible position influenced the diversity of the swarm and thus reduced the global search capability of the NVPSO algorithm. In order to avoid neglecting any worthy position in the feasible region and improve the optimization efficiency, a multi-dimensional search algorithm is proposed to search within a local region for a new feasible position. The local region is composed of all dimensions of the escaped particle’s parent and the current positions. Obviously, the flying trajectory of the particle is also included in this local region. The new position is not only present in the feasible region but also has a better fitness value in this local region. The performance of IVPSO is tested on 13 well-known benchmark functions. Experimental results prove that the proposed IVPSO algorithm is simple, competitive and stable.     

An improved self-adaptive PSO technique for short-term hydrothermal scheduling

This paper presents an improved self-adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm (ISAPSO) to solve hydrothermal scheduling (HS) problem. To overcome the premature convergence of particle swarm optimization (PSO), the evolution direction of each particle is redirected dynamically by adjusting the two sensitive parameters of PSO in the evolution process. Moreover, a new strategy is proposed to handle the various constraints of HS problem in this paper. The results solved by this proposed strategy can strictly satisfy the constraints of HS problem. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed ISAPSO algorithm is validated by a test system containing four hydro plants and an equivalent thermal plant. The results demonstrate that the proposed ISAPSO can get a better solution in both robustness and accuracy while compared with the other methods reported in this literature.
