scholarly journals Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization and Ziegler Nichols Techniques

Two tuning techniques namely: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ziegler Nichols (ZN) technique are compared. PSO is an optimization technique based on the movement and intelligence of swarms. PSO applies the concept of social interaction to problem solving. It is a computational method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution about a given measure of quality. Ziegler Nichols tuning method is a heuristic method of tuning a PID controller. The ZN close loop tuning is performed by setting the I (integral) and D (derivative) gains to zero and increasing proportional gain to obtain sustained oscillations. The DC Motor is represented by second order transfer function is used as a plant, which is controlled using PID controller. The PID controller parameters are chosen by tuning the controller using PSO algorithm and ZN method. The response of the system to unit step input is plotted and performance measures are evaluated for comparing PSO algorithm and ZN technique. Here we have compared the two tuning methods based upon the settling time (Ts), peak overshoot (Mp) and the two performance indices namely Integral square error (ISE) and Integral Absolute error (IAE).

This paper shows the study of tuning the Proportional-Integral-Derivatives (PID) in the application of coupled tank system. The controller was tuned by using an optimization technique which is a Firefly Algorithm (FA) and a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm. Both FA and PSO performance were evaluated by using performance index of Integral Time Square Error (ITSE). The systems response of FA and PSO were gathered and compared in term of transient responses, ITSE and standard deviation by considering the system condition of with and without a disturbance. The simulation is conducted by using MATLAB software. The result shows that the FA giving a better system performance compared to PSO in term of overall transient responses.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based optimization technique that has been applied extensively to a wide range of engineering problems. This paper proposes a variation of the original PSO algorithm for unconstrained optimization, dubbed the enhanced partial search particle swarm optimizer (EPS-PSO), using the idea of cooperative multiple swarms in an attempt to improve the convergence and efficiency of the original PSO algorithm. The cooperative searching strategy is particularly devised to prevent the particles from being trapped into the local optimal solutions and tries to locate the global optimal solution efficiently. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation study where the EPS-PSO algorithm is compared to a variety of exiting “cooperative” PSO algorithms in terms of noted benchmark functions.


In recent times a huge attention has been given on development of proper planning In this paper we present a top dimension perspective on forefront status of Closed circle ID system the use of PID Controller from explicit creators. The proportional– integral– subsidiary (PID) controller is the most extreme comprehensively ordinary controller inside the business bundles, specifically in strategy enterprises in light of fabulous expense to profit proportion. In this paper we focus on MPPT based solar system performance enhancement by use of fuzzy logic controller’s designs optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO). We have described about different latest A.I. techniques that has been hybrid with fuzzy logic for improving PV array based solar plants performance in recent time. The artificial intelligence technique applied in this work is the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and is used to optimize the membership functions for maximum power point tracking rule set of the FLC. By using PSO algorithm, the optimized FLC is able to maximize energy to the system loads while also maintaining a higher stability and speed as compared to P& O based MPPT algorithm

Chaos is a non-linear phenomenon that widely exists in the nature. Due to the ease of implementation and its special ability to avoid being trapped in local optima, chaos has been a novel optimization technique and chaos-based searching algorithms have aroused intense interests. Many real world optimization problems are dynamic in which global optimum and local optima change over time. Particle swarm optimization has performed well to find and track optima in static environments. When the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used in dynamic multi-objective problems, there exist some problems, such as easily falling into prematurely, having slow convergence rate and so on. To solve above problems, a hybrid PSO algorithm based on chaos algorithm is brought forward. The hybrid PSO algorithm not only has the efficient parallelism but also increases the diversity of population because of the chaos algorithm. The simulation result shows that the new algorithm is prior to traditional PSO algorithm, having stronger adaptability and convergence, solving better the question on moving peaks benchmark.

Reactive Power Dispatch (RPD) is one of the important tasks in the operation and control of power system. The objective is to apply Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for arriving optimal settings of RPD problem control variables. Incorporation of PSO as a derivative free optimization technique in solving RPD problem significantly relieves the assumptions imposed on the optimized objective functions. The proposed algorithm has been applied to find the optimal reactive power control variables in IEEE 30-bus system and in a practical Indian power system with different objectives that reflect loss minimization, voltage profile improvement and voltage stability enhancement. The results of this approach have been compared with the results of Genetic Algorithm (GA). The results are promising and show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.

Abstract. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a global optimization technique that works similarly to swarms of birds searching for food. A MATLAB code in the PSO algorithm has been developed to estimate the depth to the bottom of a 2.5-D sedimentary basin and coefficients of regional background from observed gravity anomalies. The density contrast within the source is assumed to vary parabolically with depth. Initially, the PSO algorithm is applied on synthetic data with and without some Gaussian noise, and its validity is tested by calculating the depth of the Gediz Graben, western Anatolia, and the Godavari sub-basin, India. The Gediz Graben consists of Neogen sediments, and the metamorphic complex forms the basement of the graben. A thick uninterrupted sequence of Permian–Triassic and partly Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments forms the Godavari sub-basin. The PSO results are better correlated with results obtained by the Marquardt method and borehole information.

Purpose This study aims to present a novel optimization technique to solve the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem considering transmission losses, valve-point loading effects, ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones. This is one of the most complex optimization problems concerning power systems. Design/methodology/approach The proposed algorithm has been called advanced particle swarm optimization (APSO) and was created by applying several innovative modifications to the classic PSO algorithm. APSO performance was tested on four test systems having 14, 40, 54 and 120 generators. Findings The suggested modifications have improved the accuracy, convergence rate, robustness and effectiveness of the algorithm, which has produced high-quality solutions for the CEED problem. Originality/value The results obtained by APSO were compared with those of several other techniques, and the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated. Also, because of its superlative characteristics, APSO can be applied to many other engineering optimization problems. Moreover, the suggested modifications can be easily used in other population-based optimization algorithms to improve their performance.

Abstract Since canonical PSO method has many disadvantages which do not allow to effectively reach the global minima of various functions it needs to be improved. The article refers to a novel Multi-Epoch Particle Swarm Optimization (ME-PSO) technique which has been developed by authors. ME-PSO algorithm is based on reinitializing of the stagnant swarm with low exploration efficiency. This approach provides a high rate of global best changing. As a result ME-PSO has great possibility of finding good local (or even global) optimum and does not trap in bad local optimum. In order to prove the advantages of the ME-PSO technique numerical experiments have been carried out with ten uni- and multimodal benchmark functions. Analysis of the obtained results convincingly showed significant superiority of ME-PSO over PSO and IA-PSO algorithms. It has been set that canonical PSO is a special case of ME-PSO.
