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.

Angular insensitive nonreciprocal ultrawide band absorption in plasma-embedded photonic crystals designed with improved particle swarm optimization algorithm

Using an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm(IPSO)to drive a transfer matrix method,a nonreciprocal absorber with an ultrawide absorption bandwidth and angular insensitivity is realized in plasma-embedded photonic crystals arranged in a structure composed of periodic and quasi-periodic sequences on a normalized scale.The effective dielectric function,which determines the absorption of the plasma,is subject to the basic parameters of the plasma,causing the absorption of the proposed absorber to be easily modulated by these parameters.Compared with other quasi-periodic sequences,the Octonacci sequence is superior both in relative bandwidth and absolute bandwidth.Under further optimization using IPSO with 14 parameters set to be optimized,the absorption characteristics of the proposed structure with different numbers of layers of the smallest structure unit N are shown and discussed.IPSO is also used to address angular insensitive nonreciprocal ultrawide bandwidth absorption,and the optimized result shows excellent unidirectional absorbability and angular insensitivity of the proposed structure.The impacts of the sequence number of quasi-periodic sequence M and collision frequency of plasma1ν1 to absorption in the angle domain and frequency domain are investigated.Additionally,the impedance match theory and the interference field theory are introduced to express the findings of the algorithm.

In order to overcome shortcomings of traditional BP neural network,such as low study efficiency, slow convergence speed,easily trapped into local optimal solution,we proposed an improved BP neural network model based on adaptive particle swarm optimization( PSO) algorithm. This algorithm adjusted the inertia weight coefficients and learning factors adaptively and therefore could be used to optimize the weights in the BP network. After establishing the improved PSO-BP( IPSO-BP) model,it was applied to solve fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. Wavelet denoising was selected to reduce the noise of the original vibration signals,and based on these vibration signals a wide set of features were used as the inputs in the neural network models. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by comparing with the traditional BP,PSO-BP and linear PSO-BP( LPSO-BP) algorithms. The experimental results show that IPSO-BP network outperforms other algorithms with faster convergence speed,lower errors,higher diagnostic accuracy and learning ability.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurogenerative disorder and it is difficult to diagnose as no therapies may slow down its progression.This paper contributes a novel analytic system for Parkinson’s Disease Prediction mechanism using Improved Radial Basis Function Neural Network(IRBFNN).Particle swarm optimization(PSO)with K-means is used to find the hidden neuron’s centers to improve the accuracy of IRBFNN.The performance of RBFNN is seriously affected by the centers of hidden neurons.Conventionally K-means was used to find the centers of hidden neurons.The problem of sensitiveness to the random initial centroid in K-means degrades the performance of RBFNN.Thus,a metaheuristic algorithm called PSO integrated with K-means alleviates initial random centroid and computes optimal centers for hidden neurons in IRBFNN.The IRBFNN uses Particle swarm optimization K-means to find the centers of hidden neurons and the PSO K-means was designed to evaluate the fitness measures such as Intracluster distance and Intercluster distance.Experimentation have been performed on three Parkinson’s datasets obtained from the UCI repository.The proposed IRBFNN is compared with other variations of RBFNN,conventional machine learning algorithms and other Parkinson’s Disease prediction algorithms.The proposed IRBFNN achieves an accuracy of 98.73%,98.47%and 99.03%for three Parkinson’s datasets taken for experimentation.The experimental results show that IRBFNN maximizes the accuracy in predicting Parkinson’s disease with minimum root mean square error.
