In order to overcome the several shortcomings of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) e.g., premature convergence, low accuracy and poor global searching ability, a novel Simple Particle Swarm Optimization based on Random weight and Confidence term (SPSORC) is proposed in this paper. The original two improvements of the algorithm are called Simple Particle Swarm Optimization (SPSO) and Simple Particle Swarm Optimization with Confidence term (SPSOC), respectively. The former has the characteristics of more simple structure and faster convergence speed, and the latter increases particle diversity. SPSORC takes into account the advantages of both and enhances exploitation capability of algorithm. Twenty-two benchmark functions and four state-of-the-art improvement strategies are introduced so as to facilitate more fair comparison. In addition, a t-test is used to analyze the differences in large amounts of data. The stability and the search efficiency of algorithms are evaluated by comparing the success rates and the average iteration times obtained from 50-dimensional benchmark functions. The results show that the SPSO and its improved algorithms perform well comparing with several kinds of improved PSO algorithms according to both search time and computing accuracy. SPSORC, in particular, is more competent for the optimization of complex problems. In all, it has more desirable convergence, stronger stability and higher accuracy.

Advances in the telecommunication and broadcasting sectors have increased the need for networking equipment of communication towers. Slender structures, such as towers, are sensitive to dynamic loads, such as vibration forces. Therefore, the stability and reliability performance of towers can be maintained effectively through the prompt detection, localization, and quantification of structural damages by obtaining the dynamic frequency response of towers. However, frequency analysis for damaged structures requires long computational procedures and is difficult to perform because of the damages in real structures, particularly in towers. Therefore, this study proposed a correlation factor that can identify the relationship between frequenciesunderhealthy and damaged conditions of ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) communication towers using particle swarm optimization. The finite element method was implemented to simulate three UHPFRC communication towers, and an experimental test was conducted to validate and verify the developed correlation factor

In this article, a hierarchical cooperative algorithm based on the genetic algorithm and the particle swarm optimization is proposed that the paper should utilize the global searching ability of genetic algorithm and the fast convergence speed of particle swarm optimization. The proposed algorithm starts from Individual organizational structure of subgroups and takes full advantage of the merits of the particle swarm optimization algorithm and the genetic algorithm (HCGA-PSO). The algorithm uses a layered structure with two layers. The bottom layer is composed of a series of genetic algorithm by subgroup that contributes to the global searching ability of the algorithm. The upper layer is an elite group consisting of the best individuals of each subgroup and the particle swarm algorithm is used to perform precise local search. The experimental results demonstrate that the HCGA-PSO algorithm has better convergence and stronger continuous search capability, which makes it suitable for solving complex optimization problems.

This paper introduces the principles and characteristics of Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and aims at the shortcoming of PSO algorithm, which is easily plunging into the local minimum, then we proposes a new improved adaptive hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm. It adopts dynamically changing inertia weight and variable learning factors, which is based on the mechanism of natural selection. The numerical results of classical functions illustrate that this hybrid algorithm improves global searching ability and the success rate.

This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) for the global and local equilibrium problem of searching ability. It improves the iterative way of inertia weight in PSO, using non-linear decreasing algorithm to balance, then PSO combines with simulated annealing (SA). Finally, the optimization test experiments are carried out for the typical functions with the algorithm (ULWPSO-SA), and compare with the basic PSO algorithm. Simulation experiments show that local search ability of algorithm, convergence speed, stability and accuracy have been significantly improved. In addition, the novel algorithm is used in the parameter optimization of support vector machines (ULWPSOSA-SVM), and the experimental results indicate that it gets a better classification performance compared with SVM and PSO-SVM.


This paper aims on improving the stability of a 9 bus power system under fault condition using coordination of FACTS device. Flexible A.C. transmission system (FACTS) can be regulated reliable with faster output and can improve local power grid status with control with appropriate control strategies in very small time period. Based on that, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was executed, to design the coordinated parameter of static VAR compensator (SVC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). Simulation is performed on WSCC 9-bus system in MATLAB software. When 3 phase fault is applied near to generator, frequency and rotor angle changes accordingly. With coordinated control of FACTS devices with PSO has implemented both, near to its normal condition. PSO performed in this paper was structured on identifying the values of L and C of SVC and TCSC, for superior coordination.

The aim of this paper is to suggest a methodical smooth control method for improving the stability of two wheeled self-balancing robot under effect disturbance. To promote the stability of the robot, the design of linear quadratic regulator using particle swarm optimization (PSO) method and adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO). The computation of optimal multivariable feedback control is traditionally by LQR approach by Riccati equation. Regrettably, the method as yet has a trial and error approach when selecting parameters, particularly tuning the Q and R elements of the weight matrices. Therefore, an intelligent numerical method to solve this problem is suggested by depending PSO and APSO algorithm. To appraise the effectiveness of the suggested method, The Simulation result displays that the numerical method makes the system stable and minimizes processing time.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are affordable these days. For that reason, there are currently examples of the use of UAVs in recreational, professional and research applications. Most of the commercial UAVs use Px4 for their operating system. Even though Px4 allows one to change the flight controller structure, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) format is still by far the most popular choice. A selection of the PID controller parameters is required before the UAV can be used. Although there are guidelines for the design of PID parameters, they do not guarantee the stability of the UAV, which in many cases, leads to collisions involving the UAV during the calibration process. In this paper, an offline tuning procedure based on the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm for the attitude and altitude control of a Px4-based UAV is proposed. A Pareto dominance concept is used for the MOPSO to find values for the PID comparing parameters of step responses (overshoot, rise time and root-mean-square). Experimental results are provided to validate the proposed tuning procedure by using a quadrotor as a case study.
