A dominant statistical method, in which the best combination of factors' levels are predicted by analyzing a few representative combinations of factors' levels, named as orthogonal experimental design (OED). The OED is an effective approach for analyzing the effect of multi-levels factors simultaneously and it works on orthogonal learning (OL) strategy. An evolutionary programming based heuristic method has two contradictory features-exploration and exploitation, balancing in these features have significant impact on its optimization performance. We have applied an OED based auxiliary search strategy for enhancing performance of the bird swarm algorithm (BSA) by improving its exploitation search ability. It is a challenging task to keep balance among two contradictory features-exploration and exploitation of a heuristic approach, while addressing optimal power flow (OPF) problems in power systems. In this research study, we have proposed improved BSA (IBSA) for solving the OPF problems in thermal power systems. We have conducted a study of the OPF problems with objective functions-reducing electricity generation cost, emission pollution, and active power loss to measure the efficiency of proposed IBSA. In this work, we have utilized five benchmark functions and solved OPF problems using three IEEE test systems including IEEE-30 bus system, IEEE-57 bus system, and IEEE-118 bus system to verify stability, effectiveness, and performance of proposed IBSA. The statistical and simulation results have indicated that the proposed IBSA has better convergence, efficiency, and robustness features than the original BSA as well as other heuristic approaches. It is observed that lowest electricity generation cost 800.3975 $/h on IEEE-30 bus system, 41663.5500$ /h on IEEE-57 bus system, and 134941.0367 $ /h on IEEE-118 bus system have been achieved using proposed IBSA to address the OPF problems. Furthermore, in transmission lines of the power system network minimum active power l

Predicting construction costs often involves disadvantages, such as low prediction accuracy, poor promotion value and unfavorable efficiency, owing to the complex composition of construction projects, a large number of personnel, long working periods and high levels of uncertainty. To address these concerns, a prediction index system and a prediction model were developed. First, the factors influencing construction cost were first identified, a prediction index system including 14 secondary indexes was constructed and the methods of obtaining data were presented elaborately. A prediction model based on the Random Forest (RF) algorithm was then constructed. bird swarm algorithm (BSA) was used to optimize RF parameters and thereby avoid the effect of the random selection of RF parameters on prediction accuracy. Finally, the engineering data of a construction company in Xinyu, China were selected as a case study. The case study showed that the maximum relative error of the proposed model was only 1.24%, which met the requirements of engineering practice. For the selected cases, the minimum prediction index system that met the requirement of prediction accuracy included 11 secondary indexes. Compared with classical metaheuristic optimization algorithms (Particle swarm Optimization, Genetic algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing, Ant Colony Optimization, Differential Evolution and Artificial Fish School), BSA could more quickly determine the optimal combination of calculation parameters, on average. Compared with the classical and latest forecasting methods (Back Propagation Neural Network, Support Vector Machines, Stacked Auto-Encoders and Extreme Learning Machine), the proposed model exhibited higher forecasting accuracy and efficiency. The prediction model proposed in this study could better support the prediction of construction cost, and the prediction results provided a basis for optimizing the cost management of construction projects.

Distributed power grid integration contributes to both the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the protection of the environment. Nevertheless, the uncertainty and volatility associated with the production of clean renewable energy adds additional challenges to microgrid dispatch. The paper presents an adaptive mutant bird swarm algorithm and suggests a comparison mechanism based on population fitness variances and optimal values in order to overcome the shortcomings of BSA, in particular its tendency to self-correct into local optimum and slow convergence speed. First, the algorithm determines if the population is in the local optimal state. The local optimal individual is then subjected to Cauchy mutation in order to determine the optimal value again. This improves the accuracy and speed of the BSA. Based on simulation results, the improved algorithm has higher optimization accuracy and faster optimization speed, which demonstrates the effectiveness and advancement of the algorithm proposed in this research.

Low-frequency oscillation modes, local or interareas, when not properly mitigated can compromise the stability of power system operation and consequently the supply of electricity to consumer centers. Traditionally, the use of Power System Stabilizers has been promising in mitigating local oscillation modes but has limited effect in inter-area modes. Recent advances in communication technologies have enabled the creation of Wide-Area Damping Controllers (WADCs) whose input signals are provided by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). These WADC is multivariable and thus is more promising in mitigating inter-area oscillation modes. However, variable delays in the transmission of signals on the communication channels can compromise the design. This article proposes a WADC design method based on bird swarm algorithm considering two limits for signal transmission delays: one stipulated for the normal operation of the control system and the other for cases where the time delay exceeded the first limiter for some reason. Case studies are presented in this article including statistical evaluation and nonlinear time-domain simulations.

This paper introduces an effective method by combining the multi-objective technique with the bird swarm algorithm (BSA) to obtain a new method called MBSA. The MBSA obtains some of the different non-dominated techniques that maintain variety amongst the optimal solutions. To verify and evaluate the effectiveness of the MBSA, collections of constrained, unconstrained, and engineering problems are measured. These problems have various Pareto front (PF) properties, including non-convex, convex, and discrete PFs. The results show that the MBSA has a good ability to obtain both a better solution spread and better convergence near the true PF. Furthermore, the quantitative and qualitative results indicate that the MBSA provides high convergence and good results in all experiments and with real-world problems against well-known algorithms in the literature.

With the commercialization of 5G, in order to recognize QAM signals, one of the main modulation modes in 5G communication systems, this paper put forward the BP-BSA network model based on bird swarm algorithm (BSA) and BP neural network. Firstly, the instantaneous features and high-order cumulants were selected as the appropriate feature statistics by analyzing the characteristics of MQAM signals. After that, the structure of the BP neural network model was determined, and the initial parameters of the BP neural network were optimized using BSA to accelerate the convergence speed of the network. Finally, the features processed with signal to noise ratio (SNR) disorder were used to train and test the BP neural network model. The BP-BSA network model proposed in this paper applies the bird swarm algorithm to the field of modulation recognition for the first time. And the simulation results show that the recognition accuracies of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256QAM signals in the SNR range of -5 dB to 20 dB all reach above 98%. Compared with the same type algorithms, the algorithm proposed in this paper has good recognition performance.

Accurate vehicle feature recognition is an important element in traffic intelligence systems. To address the problems of slow convergence and weak generalization ability in using convolutional neural networks to improve vehicle feature recognition, we propose an improved bird swarm algorithm to optimize convolutional neural networks (IBSA-CNNs) for vehicle recognition strategies. First, we use the center of gravity backward learning strategy and similarity-and aggregation-based optimization strategy in population initialization and foraging behavior, respectively, to improve the algorithm performance and avoid falling into a local optimum. Second, the improved bird swarm algorithm is used to optimize the weights of the convolutional and pooling layers of the convolutional neural network to improve the neural network performance. Finally, we tested the performance of the improved bird swarm algorithm in simulation experiments using benchmark functions. The recognition performance of IBSA-CNN was tested by the UCI dataset, and in the traffic vehicle dataset BIT-Vehicle, it improved 4.9% and 6.8% compared with R-CNN and CNN, respectively, indicating that IBSA-CNN has better vehicle feature recognition.

This study presents the application of deep learning technology in torsional capacity evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. A data-driven model based on 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) is established, where model inputs contain the beam width, beam height, stirrup width, stirrup height, concrete compressive strength, steel ratio of longitudinal reinforcement, yield strength of longitudinal reinforcement, steel ratio of transverse reinforcement, yield strength of transverse reinforcement and stirrup spacing. To enhance the pre-diction accuracy of the proposed model, an improved bird swarm algorithm (IBSA) is leveraged to optimise the hyperparameters of CNN in the training phase. A comprehensive dataset, comprising 268 groups of laboratory tests of RC beams collected from published articles, is used for model development and validation. The results show that the proposed 2D CNN with hyperparameter optimisation exhibits high performance in predicting torsional strength of RC beams, which outperforms other machine learning models, building codes and empirical formula in terms of a series of evaluation metrics.
