This work utilizes a novel, generic, thermal model of an electric machine in conjunction with particle swarm optimization to optimize the electric machine’s fin array considering time varying loads. The maximum power rating on radial-flux electrical machines is typically based on the steady state temperature of the windings. This leads to over designs in applications in which only short periods of high power are required. The proposed optimization technique can be used in the design process to reduce the risk of over design therefore leading to reduced material costs for finned frames and increased power density in radial flux machines. Whilst many numerical optimization techniques exist, this paper will consider the application of particle swarm optimization techniques to optimize the fin array parameters. The parameter space to be investigated will consider the fin height (hf), fin width (wf), and fin spacing (sf).

Wireless sensor networks are the sensors which are acclimated to sense the environmental condition like temperature, pressure, sultriness, moisture etc, sensing the environment parameters and sending them to the gateway and retrieving the aggregated data from the gateway to the end user. Power is the major constraint in wireless sensor networks. One must need to reduce the power consumption. Wireless sensor networks have sensor nodes in which each node has a processor, antenna and a battery. The batteries consume power so that we require increasing the lifetime of the battery for that some optimization techniques are required to reduce the power consumption. There are some techniques which are inspired from the lifestyle of animals. In this paper proposing an optimization technique which is inspired by the animal demeanor which reduces the power consumption of the sensor nodes which is particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. PSO is inspired by the convivial demeanor of birds or schooling of fish. By utilizing this bio-inspired technique we can reduce the power consumed by the sensor nodes and at the same time lifetime of the batteries present in the sensor nodes are increased.

Optimization of oil production from petroleum reservoirs is an interesting and complex problem which can be done by optimal control of well parameters such as their flow rates and pressure. Different optimization techniques have been developed yet, and metaheuristic algorithms are commonly employed to enhance oil recovery projects. Among different metaheuristic techniques, the genetic algorithm (GA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) have received more attention in engineering problems. These methods require a population and many objective function calls to approach more the global optimal solution. However, for a water flooding project in a reservoir, each function call requires a long time reservoir simulation. Hence, it is necessary to reduce the number of required function evaluations to increase the rate of convergence of optimization techniques. In this study, performance of GA and PSO are compared with each other in an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project, and Newton method is linked with PSO to improve its convergence speed. Furthermore, hybrid genetic algorithm-particle swarm optimization (GA-PSO) as the third optimization technique is introduced and all of these techniques are implemented to EOR in a water injection project with 13 decision variables. Results indicate that PSO with Newton method (NPSO) is remarkably faster than the standard PSO (SPSO). Also, the hybrid GA-PSO method is more capable of finding the optimal solution with respect to GA and PSO. In addition, GA-PSO, NPSO, and GA-NPSO methods are compared and, respectively, GA-NPSO and NPSO showed excellence over GA-PSO.


In power generating plants, the expenses on combustible fuel is extremely costly and the concept of ELD (Economic Load Dispatch) make possible to save the considerable portion of profits. Practically generators have economic dispatch problems in terms of non-convexity. These kinds of problem cannot be resolved by conventional optimization techniques because the complication escalates due to manifold constrained that require to be fulfilled in all operating conditions. Recently a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm stimulated by collective conduct of swarm can be applied effectively to translate the ELD problems. The classical PSO bears the difficulty of early convergence mainly when the space of search is asymmetrical. To overcome the trouble “Crazy PSO with TVAC (Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients)” is launched which improve the search ability of the PSO by rebooting the vector of velocity whenever diffusion or saturation locate inside and to employ a scheme of parameter automation to maintain correct equilibrium between global hunt and local hunt and also circumvent the congestion. This arrangement is developed crazy PSO with TVAC and also demonstrated on two different model experimental structures of three generation units and six generation units. The result acquired from proposed method is evaluate with classical PSO and Real coded genetic algorithm (RGA) and it is found to be superior. This method is mathematically simple, gives fast convergence and robustness to resolve the rigid optimization inconvenience.

With the technological advancements, Distributed Generation (DG) has become a common method of overwhelming the issues like power losses and voltage drops which accompanies with the leaf of the feeders of radial distribution networks. Many researchers have used several optimization techniques and tools which could be used to locate and size the DG units in the system. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the famous optimization techniques. However, the premature convergence is identified as a fundamental adverse effect of this optimization technique. Therefore, the optimization problem can direct the objective function to a local minimum. This paper presents a variant of PSO techniques, “Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO)” to determine the optimal placement and sizing of the DGs, which uses a novel learning strategy whereby all other particles’ historical best information and learning probability value are used to update a particle’s velocity. The CLPSO particles learn from one exampler for few iterations, instead of learing from global and personal best values in every iteration in PSO and this technique retains the swarm's variability to avoid premature convergence. A detailed analysis was conducted for the IEEE 33 bus system. The comparison results have revealed a higher convergence and an accuracy than the PSO.

Robust digital image watermarking is an information security technique that has been widely used to solve several issues related mainly with copyright protection as well as ownership authentication. In general terms, robust watermarking conceals a small signal called a “watermark” in a host image in a form imperceptible to human vision. The efficiency of conventional robust watermarking based on frequency domain depend directly on the results of performance in terms of robustness and imperceptibility. According to the application scenario and the image dataset, it is common practice to adjust the key parameters used by robust watermarking methods in an experimental form; however, this manual adjustment may involve exhaustive tasks and at the same time be a drawback in practical scenarios. In recent years, several optimization techniques have been adopted by robust watermarking to allowing adjusting in an automatic form its key operation parameters, improving thus its performance. In this context, this paper proposes an improved robust watermarking algorithm in discrete Fourier transform via spread spectrum, optimizing the key operation parameters, particularly the amounts of bands and coefficients of frequency as well as the watermark strength factor using particle swarm optimization in conjunction with visual information fidelity and bit correct rate criteria. Experimental results obtained in this research show improved robustness against common signal processing and geometric distortions, preserving a high visual quality in color images. Performance comparison with conventional discrete Fourier transform proposal is provided, as well as with the current state-of-the-art of particle swarm optimization applied to image watermarking.

A new preliminary trajectory design method for asteroid rendezvous mission using multiobjective optimization techniques is proposed. This method can overcome the disadvantages of the widely employed Pork-Chop method. The multiobjective integrated launch window and multi-impulse transfer trajectory design model is formulated, which employes minimum-fuel cost and minimum-time transfer as two objective functions. The multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is employed to locate the Pareto solution. The optimization results of two different asteroid mission designs show that the proposed approach can effectively and efficiently demonstrate the relations among the mission characteristic parameters such as launch time, transfer time, propellant cost, and number of maneuvers, which will provide very useful reference for practical asteroid mission design. Compared with the PCP method, the proposed approach is demonstrated to be able to provide much more easily used results, obtain better propellant-optimal solutions, and have much better efficiency. The MOPSO shows a very competitive performance with respect to the NSGA-II and the SPEA-II; besides a proposed boundary constraint optimization strategy is testified to be able to improve its performance.
