To expedite the process of achieving an optimalconfiguration of measurement points, this paper presents an optimal configuration scheme for fault locationmeasurement points in DC distribution networks based on an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm.Initially, a measurement point distribution optimization model is formulated, leveraging compressive sensing.The model aims to achieve the minimum number of measurement points while attaining the best compressivesensing reconstruction effect. It incorporates constraints from the compressive sensing algorithm and networkwide viewability. Subsequently, the traditional particle swarm algorithm is enhanced by utilizing the Haltonsequence for population initialization, generating uniformly distributed individuals. This enhancement reducesindividual search blindness and overlap probability, thereby promoting population diversity. Furthermore, anadaptive t-distribution perturbation strategy is introduced during the particle update process to enhance the globalsearch capability and search speed. The established model for the optimal configuration of measurement points issolved, and the results demonstrate the efficacy and practicality of the proposed method. The optimal configurationreduces the number of measurement points, enhances localization accuracy, and improves the convergence speedof the algorithm. These findings validate the effectiveness and utility of the proposed approach.展开更多

First, an encoding method based on the Bloch sphere is presented. In this method, each particle carries three groups of Bloch coordinates of qubits, and these coordinates are actually the approximate solutions. The particles are updated by rotating qubits about an axis on the Bloch sphere, which can simultaneously adjust two parameters of qubits, and can automatically achieve the best matching of two adjustments. The optimization process is employed in the n-dimensional space [-1, 1]n, so this approach fits to many optimization problems. The experimental results show that this algorithm is superior to the original quantum-behaved PSO.展开更多

To deal with the problem,quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) is firstly introduced in this paper,and according to QPSO,chaotic quantum particle swarm optimization (CQPSO) is presented,which makes use of the randomness,regularity and ergodicity of chaotic variables to improve the quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm. When the swarm is trapped in local minima,a smaller searching space chaos optimization is used to guide the swarm jumping out the local minima.

Based on the new nonlinear creep model derived from combining Hertz contact theory, Kalker's linear theory and a heuristic nonlinear creep model, the modeling and dynamic analysis of a 24 degree-of-freedom railway vehicle system were investigated. The Lyapunov indirect method was used to examine the effects of suspension parameters, wheel conicities and wheel rolling radii on critical hunting speeds. Generally, the critical hunting speeds of a vehicle system resulting from worn wheels with different wheel rolling radii are lower than those of a vehicle system having original wheels without different wheel rolling radii. Because of worn wheels, the critical hunting speed of a running railway vehicle substantially declines over the long term. For safety reasons, it is necessary to design the suspension system parameters to increase the robustness of the system and decrease the sensitive of wheel noises. By applying UD and QPSO, the nominal-the-best signal-to-noise ratio of the system was increased from -48.17 to -34.05 dB. The rate of improvement was 29.31%. This study has demonstrated that the integration of UD and QPSO can successfully reveal the optimal solution of suspension parameters for solving the robust design problem of a railway vehicle suspension system.展开更多

文摘The set-union knapsack problem(SUKP)is proved to be a strongly NP-hard problem,and it is an extension of the classic NP-hard problem:the 0-1 knapsack problem(KP).Solving the SUKP through exact approaches is computationally expensive.Therefore,several swarm intelligent algorithms have been proposed in order to solve the SUKP.Hyper-heuristics have received notable attention by researchers in recent years,and they are successfully applied to solve the combinatorial optimization problems.In this article,we propose a binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO)based hyper-heuristic for solving the SUKP,in which the BPSO is employed as a search methodology.The proposed approach has been evaluated on three sets of SUKP instances.The results are compared with 6 approaches:BABC,EMS,gPSO,DHJaya,b WSA,and HBPSO/TS,and demonstrate that the proposed approach for the SUKP outperforms other approaches.
文摘The use of the supplementary controllers of a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) based on Voltage Source Converter (VSC) to damp low Frequency oscillations in a weakly connected system is surveyed. Also, singular value decomposition (SVD)-based approach is used to analyze and assess the controllability of the poorly damped electromechanical modes by VSC-HVDC different control channels. The problem of supplementary damping controller based VSC-HVDC system is formulated as an optimization problem according to the time domain-based objective function which is solved using quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO). Individual designs of the HVDC controllers using QPSO method are evaluated. The effectiveness of the proposed controllers on damping low frequency oscillations is checked through eigenvalue analysis and non-linear time simulation under various disturbance conditions over a wide range of loading.

文摘Sentiment Analysis(SA),a Machine Learning(ML)technique,is often applied in the literature.The SA technique is specifically applied to the data collected from social media sites.The research studies conducted earlier upon the SA of the tweets were mostly aimed at automating the feature extraction process.In this background,the current study introduces a novel method called Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization with Deep Learning-Based Sentiment Analysis on Arabic Tweets(QPSODL-SAAT).The presented QPSODL-SAAT model determines and classifies the sentiments of the tweets written in Arabic.Initially,the data pre-processing is performed to convert the raw tweets into a useful format.Then,the word2vec model is applied to generate the feature vectors.The Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit(BiGRU)classifier is utilized to identify and classify the sentiments.Finally,the QPSO algorithm is exploited for the optimal finetuning of the hyperparameters involved in the BiGRU model.The proposed QPSODL-SAAT model was experimentally validated using the standard datasets.An extensive comparative analysis was conducted,and the proposed model achieved a maximum accuracy of 98.35%.The outcomes confirmed the supremacy of the proposed QPSODL-SAAT model over the rest of the approaches,such as the Surface Features(SF),Generic Embeddings(GE),Arabic Sentiment Embeddings constructed using the Hybrid(ASEH)model and the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)model.
文摘To enhance the optimization ability of particle swarm algorithm, a novel quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. In this method, the particles are encoded by the probability amplitudes of the basic states of the multi-qubits system. The rotation angles of multi-qubits are determined based on the local optimum particle and the global optimal particle, and the multi-qubits rotation gates are employed to update the particles. At each of iteration, updating any qubit can lead to updating all probability amplitudes of the corresponding particle. The experimental results of some benchmark functions optimization show that, although its single step iteration consumes long time, the optimization ability of the proposed method is significantly higher than other similar algorithms.

文摘The lack of reactive power in offshore wind farms will affect the voltage stability and power transmission quality of wind farms.To improve the voltage stability and reactive power economy of wind farms,the improved particle swarmoptimization is used to optimize the reactive power planning in wind farms.First,the power flow of offshore wind farms is modeled,analyzed and calculated.To improve the global search ability and local optimization ability of particle swarm optimization,the improved particle swarm optimization adopts the adaptive inertia weight and asynchronous learning factor.Taking the minimum active power loss of the offshore wind farms as the objective function,the installation location of the reactive power compensation device is compared according to the node voltage amplitude and the actual engineering needs.Finally,a reactive power optimizationmodel based on Static Var Compensator is established inMATLAB to consider the optimal compensation capacity,network loss,convergence speed and voltage amplitude enhancement effect of SVC.Comparing the compensation methods in several different locations,the compensation scheme with the best reactive power optimization effect is determined.Meanwhile,the optimization results of the standard particle swarm optimization and the improved particle swarm optimization are compared to verify the superiority of the proposed improved algorithm.
