This research proposed a tuning method of power system stabilizer (PSS) using an intelligent method based on flower pollination algorithm (FPA) on Pajalesang generator located in Soppeng district. The observed result is the deviation response of velocity and rotor angle in case of disturbance. The case study used as the disturbance to this generator system is a load addition of 0.05 pu. The results show that velocity deviation response without PSS is 0.01152 pu to -0.0248 pu, using PSS trial is 0.007014 pu to -0.02174 pu, using PSS bat algorithm is 0.003972 pu to -0.01865 pu, and using the proposed method of PSS flower algorithm is 0.002149 pu to -0.01678 pu. The rotor angle response shows better results with reduced oscillation and rapidly leading to the steady-state condition. The performance of Pajalesang diesel power plant increased with the installation of FPA PSS, with parameters respectively Kpss=8.5956, T1= 0.0247, T2=0.2484, T3=0.4776, and T4=0.8827.

Abstract In the present paper, the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is employed for tuning the controller parameters of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in a wind energy system. These parameters are then compared with those generated by the genetic algorithm (GA) and the proportional-integral (PI) (initial design) controllers. Performance analysis of the DFIG is carried out in dynamic mode in two case studies. The first case study is carried out with no failure, the second one is subject to a short circuit in the electrical network. In this latter case study, a break occurs in the rotor circuit and disconnects the DFIG from the power grid. This gives rise to an excessive current in the rotor circuit which in turn influences the converters AC/DC/AC and makes the IGBT very sensitive. The GA and the FPA are used to tune the PI controllers with the purpose of improving the quality of a power supply should electrical disturbances occur. The results show that by applying an optimal PI controller design to a DFIG using the FPA the performance of the DFIG system can be improved in the event of disturbances. When the PI controller tuning using the GA and the initial control system design is compared with the DFIG using the optimized design, a significant decrease in the overshoot of the rotor current and the DC-link voltage is observed.

Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is one of metaheuristic methods that is widely used in optimization problems. This method was inspired by the nature of flower pollination. In this research, FPA is applied to solve Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems with case study of 500 kV Java-Bali power system in Indonesia. The system consists of 25 bus with 30 lines and 8 generating units. Control variables are generation of active power and voltage magnitude at PV bus and swing bus under several power system constraints. The results show that FPA method is capable of solving OPF problem. This method decreased the generator fuel cost of PT. PLN (Persero), the state-owned company in charge of providing electricity in Indonesia, up to 13.15%.

Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm that adopts its metaphor from the proliferation role of flowers in plants. Having only one parameter control (i.e. the switch probability, pa) to choose from the global search (i.e. exploration) and local search (i.e. exploitation) is the main strength of FPA as compared to other meta-heuristic algorithms. However, FPA still suffers from variability of its performance as there is no one size that fits all values for pa, depending on the characteristics of the optimisation function. This paper proposed flower pollination algorithm metropolis-hastings (FPA-MH) based on the adoption of Metropolis-Hastings criteria adopted from the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to enable dynamic selection of the pa probability. Adopting the problem of t-way test suite generation as the case study and with the comparative evaluation with the original FPA, FPA-MH gave promising results owing to its dynamic and adaptive selection of search operators based on the need of the current search.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the health/functioning of the older adult who consumes psychoactive substances through the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, considering the theory of complexity. Method: Qualitative case study, with 11 older adults, held between December 2015 and February 2016 in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, using interviews, documents and non-systematic observation. It was approved by the ethics committee. The analysis followed the propositions of the case study, using the complexity of Morin as theoretical basis. Results: We identified older adults who consider themselves healthy and show alterations - the alterations can be exacerbated by the use of psychoactive substances - of health/functioning expected according to the natural course of aging such as: systemic arterial hypertension; depressive symptoms; dizziness; tinnitus; harmed sleep/rest; and inadequate food and water consumption. Final consideration: The assessment of health/functioning of older adults who use psychoactive substances, guided by complex thinking, exceeds the accuracy limits to risk the understanding of the phenomena in its complexity.
