Optimal Configuration of Fault Location Measurement Points in DC Distribution Networks Based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

The escalating deployment of distributed power sources and random loads in DC distribution networks hasamplified the potential consequences of faults if left uncontrolled. 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.

Quantitative algorithm for airborne gamma spectrum of large sample based on improved shuffled frog leaping-particle swarm optimization convolutional neural network

In airborne gamma ray spectrum processing,different analysis methods,technical requirements,analysis models,and calculation methods need to be established.To meet the engineering practice requirements of airborne gamma-ray measurements and improve computational efficiency,an improved shuffled frog leaping algorithm-particle swarm optimization convolutional neural network(SFLA-PSO CNN)for large-sample quantitative analysis of airborne gamma-ray spectra is proposed herein.This method was used to train the weight of the neural network,optimize the structure of the network,delete redundant connections,and enable the neural network to acquire the capability of quantitative spectrum processing.In full-spectrum data processing,this method can perform the functions of energy spectrum peak searching and peak area calculations.After network training,the mean SNR and RMSE of the spectral lines were 31.27 and 2.75,respectively,satisfying the demand for noise reduction.To test the processing ability of the algorithm in large samples of airborne gamma spectra,this study considered the measured data from the Saihangaobi survey area as an example to conduct data spectral analysis.The results show that calculation of the single-peak area takes only 0.13~0.15 ms,and the average relative errors of the peak area in the U,Th,and K spectra are 3.11,9.50,and 6.18%,indicating the high processing efficiency and accuracy of this algorithm.The performance of the model can be further improved by optimizing related parameters,but it can already meet the requirements of practical engineering measurement.This study provides a new idea for the full-spectrum processing of airborne gamma rays.

The surge in connected devices and massive data aggregation has expanded the scale of the Internet of Things(IoT)networks.The proliferation of unknown attacks and related risks,such as zero-day attacks and Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attacks triggered by botnets,have resulted in information leakage and property damage.Therefore,developing an efficient and realistic intrusion detection system(IDS)is critical for ensuring IoT network security.In recent years,traditional machine learning techniques have struggled to learn the complex associations between multidimensional features in network traffic,and the excellent performance of deep learning techniques,as an advanced version of machine learning,has led to their widespread application in intrusion detection.In this paper,we propose an Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization Convolutional Neural Network Squeeze-andExcitation(APSO-CNN-SE)model for implementing IoT network intrusion detection.A 2D CNN backbone is initially constructed to extract spatial features from network traffic.Subsequently,a squeeze-and-excitation channel attention mechanism is introduced and embedded into the CNN to focus on critical feature channels.Lastly,the weights and biases in the CNN-SE are extracted to initialize the population individuals of the APSO.As the number of iterations increases,the population’s position vector is continuously updated,and the cross-entropy loss function value is minimized to produce the ideal network architecture.We evaluated the models experimentally using binary and multiclassification on the UNSW-NB15 and NSL-KDD datasets,comparing and analyzing the evaluation metrics derived from each model.Compared to the base CNN model,the results demonstrate that APSO-CNNSE enhances the binary classification detection accuracy by 1.84%and 3.53%and the multiclassification detection accuracy by 1.56%and 2.73%on the two datasets,respectively.Additionally,the model outperforms the existing models like DT,KNN,LR,SVM,LSTM,etc.,in terms of accuracy and fitting performance.This means that the model can identify potential attacks or anomalies more precisely,improving the overall security and stability of the IoT environment.

Utilizing granular computing to enhance artificial neural network architecture, a newtype of network emerges—thegranular neural network (GNN). GNNs offer distinct advantages over their traditional counterparts: The ability toprocess both numerical and granular data, leading to improved interpretability. This paper proposes a novel designmethod for constructing GNNs, drawing inspiration from existing interval-valued neural networks built uponNNNs. However, unlike the proposed algorithm in this work, which employs interval values or triangular fuzzynumbers for connections, existing methods rely on a pre-defined numerical network. This new method utilizesa uniform distribution of information granularity to granulate connections with unknown parameters, resultingin independent GNN structures. To quantify the granularity output of the network, the product of two commonperformance indices is adopted: The coverage of numerical data and the specificity of information granules.Optimizing this combined performance index helps determine the optimal parameters for the network. Finally,the paper presents the complete model construction and validates its feasibility through experiments on datasetsfrom the UCIMachine Learning Repository. The results demonstrate the proposed algorithm’s effectiveness andpromising performance.
