This paper contributes to the development of a smart wide-area controller for the management of stochastic power losses in smart transmission grids while power system reliability is met. A comprehensive strategic management model is used for designing a smart grid management strategy. The proposed wide-area control algorithm enables continuous communication and control, allowing suppliers to optimize active power losses based on price preference and system technical issues. Wide-area control variables are continuously controlled by solving an optimization problem with an active intent to minimize power losses. A gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is presented to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, the wide-area control system is combined with local controllers and a hybrid controller is proposed. Proposed algorithms are tested on the standard Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 9-bus and IEEE 118-bus test systems. Because of the stochastic behavior of the power system, various and random contingencies are considered. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the hybrid algorithm.

This work presents an elegant technique for estimating the heat of detonation (HD) of thirty organic energetic compounds by combining support vector regression (SVR) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). The work shows that numbers of nitrogen and oxygen atoms as well as the compound molar mass are sufficient as descriptors. On the basis of three performance measuring parameters, the hybrid GSA-SVR outperforms Mortimer and Kamlet (1968), Mohammad and Hamid (2004) and Mohammad (2006) models with performance improvement of 93.951%, 86.197%, and 47.104%, respectively. The superior performance demonstrated by the proposed method would be of immense significance in containing the potential damage of the explosives through quick estimation of HD of organic energetic compounds without loss of experimental precision.

Wireless network is considered a vital enabler in the world of information technology, specifically, LTE and LTE advanced networks, which are the latest technologies owing to their fast speed, robustness, and large bandwidth. However, in spite of the aforementioned advancements, signaling overhead poses critical challenges in terms of network availability, especially those caused by location management messages which are related to users' mobility behavior. This paper seeks to address the problem of signaling overhead caused by the location management messages specifically, tracking area update (TAU) and paging by deploying three evolutionary algorithms, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC), and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). The deployed algorithms guarantee yielding the minimum values of the signaling overhead for TAU, paging, and the battery power consumption of the user. It is shown that ABC-based algorithm has faster convergence and better signaling overhead when compared with other implemented algorithms. Moreover, the measured relative standard deviation (RSD) value of all algorithms shows low uncertainty of around 1% for the objective function and 3% for the paging, TAU, and power. Hence, the three applied optimization algorithms have proven to be efficient and reliable for solving the problem in a large-scale environment.

Random deployment of sensor nodes is susceptible to initial communication hole, even when the network is densely populated. However, eliminating holes using structural deployment poses its difficulties. In either case, the resulting coverage holes can degrade overall network performance and lifetime. Many solutions utilizing Relay Nodes (RNs) have been proposed to alleviate this problem. In this regard, one of the recent solutions proposed using artificial bee colony (ABC) to deploy RNs. This paper proposes RN deployment using two other evolutionary techniques - gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and differential evolution (DE) and compares them with existing solution that uses ABC. These popular optimization tools are deployed to optimize the positions of relay nodes for lifetime maximization. Proposed algorithms guarantee satisfactory RNs utilization while maintaining desired connectivity level. It is shown that DE-based deployment improves the network lifetime better than other optimization heuristics considered.

Clustering is used to group data objects into sets of disjoint classes called clusters so that objects within the same class are highly similar to each other and dissimilar from the objects in other classes. K-harmonic means (KHM) is one of the most popular clustering techniques, and has been applied widely and works well in many fields. But this method usually runs into local optima easily. A hybrid data clustering algorithm based on an improved version of gravitational search algorithm and KHM, called IGSAKHM, is proposed in this research. With merits of both algorithms, IGSAKHM not only helps the KHM clustering escape from local optima but also overcomes the slow convergence speed of the IGSA. The proposed method is compared with some existing algorithm on seven data sets, and the obtained results indicate that IGSAKHM is superior to KHM and PSOKHM in most cases. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

To improve the exploration and exploitation abilities of the standard gravitational search algorithm (GSA), a novel operator called "Disruption", originating from astrophysics, is proposed. The disruption operator is inspired by nature and, with the least computation, has improved the ability of GSA to further explore and exploit the search space. The proposed improved GSA has been evaluated on 23 nonlinear benchmark functions and compared with standard GSA, the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The obtained results confirm the high performance of the proposed method in solving various nonlinear functions. (C) 2011 Sharif University of Technology. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.

This paper is devoted to the presentation of a new linear and nonlinear filter modeling based on a gravitational search algorithm (GSA). To do this, unknown filter parameters are considered as a vector to be optimized. Examples of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter design, as well as rational nonlinear filter, are given. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed GSA based filter modeling, different sets of initial population with the presence of different measurable noises are given and tested in simulations. Genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are also used to model the same examples and some simulation results are compared. Obtained results confirm the efficiency of the proposed method. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The choice of weighting matrices of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is one such decision which has a great effect on the dynamics of the system. There exists a nonlinear relationship between the dynamics of plant and their numerical values. Problems where such nonlinear relation exists, heuristic have served very useful to extract a better solution. In this paper, an attempt is made for the optimal choice of LQR weighting matrices using heuristic optimization techniques for a rotary inverted pendulum such that the settling time of the system is minimized.

Speech emotion recognition is a hot topic nowadays. In order to improve recognition rates, we propose a new solution based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and optimized SVM. KPCA reduces features dimension, while the gravity searchalgorithm (GSA) is used to optimize support vector machine (SVM) classification performances. We show that KPCA with Gaussian kernel function applied to the Berlin emotional speech database, KPCA outperforms the classical principal. On the other hand, we present experimental results showing that the GSA-SVM model achieves higher recognition rates and runs faster than two classical optimized SVM namely the SVM-particle swarm and the SVM-genetic algorithm. Combined together the KPCA-GSA/SVM achieves good recognition rates.

This paper develops a long-term time series prediction model based on echo state networks for health monitoring. Convolutional dynamics are built by extending randomly connected reservoirs to convolutional structures in the input-to-state transition. Also, a new particle swarm optimization-gravitational search algorithm is put forward to make the convolutional reservoir near the chaotic edge, in which memory information-based decision-making and l` evy flight random walk are utilized to improve its local and global search capabilities, respectively. Finally, the validity of the model is verified by the real health index data set. The experiment illustrates that the system can exhibit powerful computing ability by adopting the evolutionary algorithm close to the chaotic edge. These results also show that our proposed algorithm exceeds the test error of the least squares support vector machine by 50% on average.
