This article presents a meticulous exploration of on-board traction converters deployed in Electric Multiple Units (EMUs). The study involves the development of a comprehensive traction converter and control system, encompassing essential elements such as transformers, front-end rectifiers, and DC link capacitors. The precise control of the front-end rectifier's switching states is crucial for achieving high-quality power. A new application of the advanced Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (Hybrid PSOS) technique for the optimization of controller parameters is presented. This parameter tuning process aims to minimize the integral time absolute error (ITAE), a critical metric governing the regulation of DC-link capacitor voltage. Simulation results showcase the impressive attributes of on-board traction converters, including low harmonic content, a high-power factor, and stable DC voltage. Additionally, a rigorous comparative analysis is conducted between Hybrid PSOS and other established algorithms like Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Hybrid PSOS traction unit outperforms SOS and PSO, with a minimal overshoot of 1.3401%, faster settling time of 0.2413 seconds, compared to SOS (0.3884 seconds) and PSO (0.5531 seconds). Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for secondary line currents, the values are 12.48% for PSO, 2.17% for SOS, and 1.08% for Hybrid PSOS. Hybrid PSOS consistently demonstrates its superiority, significantly enhancing system performance and stability. This research underscores the substantial potential of on-board traction converters, emphasizing their role in facilitating efficient and stable electric multiple unit (EMU) operations.

Optimization refers to finding the optimal solution to minimize or maximize the objective function. In the field of engineering, this plays an important role in designing parameters and reducing manufacturing costs. meta-heuristics such as the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) are efficient ways to solve optimization problems. However, the GWO suffers from premature convergence or low accuracy. In this study, a team learning-based grey wolf optimizer (TLGWO), which consists of two strategies, is proposed to overcome these shortcomings. The neighbor learning strategy introduces the influence of neighbors to improve the local search ability, whereas the random learning strategy provides new search directions to enhance global exploration. Four engineering problems with constraints and 21 benchmark functions were employed to verify the competitiveness of the TLGWO. The test results were compared with three derivatives of the GWO and nine other state-of-the-art algorithms. Furthermore, the experimental results were analyzed using the Friedman and mean absolute error statistical tests. The results show that the proposed TLGWO can provide superior solutions to the compared algorithms on most optimization tasks and solve engineering problems with constraints.

This study introduces a quadratic programming-based optimisation method to coordinate electric vehicle (EV) charging and photovoltaic (PV) curtailment in unbalanced low voltage (LV) networks. The proposed model is defined as a convex model that guarantees the optimal global solution of the problem avoiding the complexity of non-linear models and surpassing the limitations of local solutions derived from meta-heuristics algorithms reported in the literature. The coordination is carried out through a centralised controller installed at the header of the LV feeder. The objective of the proposed strategy is to minimise the power curtailment of all PV systems and maximise the power delivered to all EVs by optimising at every time step a suitable setpoint for the PV units and the charging rate of each EV connected without surpassing network constraints. A new energy-boundary model is also proposed to meet the energy requirements of all EVs, which is based on a recurrent function that depends on the arrival-and-desired energy states of the vehicle to compute its charging trajectory optimally. The effectiveness of the proposed coordination strategy was successfully proven through three scenarios in a laboratory environment, making use of two commercial EVs and a PV inverter in a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop setup.

Systems of nonlinear equations (SNLEs) existed in various disciplines like engineering and applied mathematics. Finding solutions to SNLES is one of the most challenging problems. An advanced hybrid algorithm (haDEPSO) is proposed in this paper for finding the solution of SNLEs and real world problems, based on multi-population approach. Suggested advanced differential evolution (aDE) and particle swarm optimisation (aPSO) integrated with haDEPSO where in aDE a novel mutation strategy, crossover probability and slightly changed selection scheme is introduced (to avoid premature convergence) and novel gradually varying parameters familiarised in aPSO (to escape stagnation). Also in haDEPSO individual population is merged with other in a pre-defined manner, to balance between global and local search capability. Performance of proposed haDEPSO as well as its integrating component aDE and aPSO are used to solve three SNLEs and three complex real world problems. Comparative analysis confirms superiority of the proposed algorithms.

The Maximum Satisfiability Problem (MAX-SAT) is a crucial NP-hard optimization problem with applications in artificial intelligence, circuit design, scheduling, and combinatorial optimization. In this work, we provide a unique hybrid strategy that blends Genetic algorithms (GA) with Social Group Optimization (SGO) algorithm to effectively solve the MAX-SAT problem. The SGO algorithm, inspired by the social behavior of groups, excels in exploring diverse regions of the search space. w used a binary variant of SGO i.e. Binary-SGO which is defined specifically for binary search spaces, while GA leverages evolutionary principles to exploit local optima through selection, crossover, and mutation. By integrating the exploration capabilities of SGO with the exploitation strengths of GA, the hybrid approach strikes an optimal balance between global and local search. Extensive experimental evaluations conducted on standard MAX-SAT benchmarks demonstrate that our hybrid algorithm outperforms several existing state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms. Hybrid BSGO-GA achieved the highest average fitness values, with an average accuracy of 99.7% in Experiment 1, 99.61% in Experiment 2, and 99.21% in Experiment 3 and achieved complete satisfiability in 55 out of 75 cases in Experiment 1, 42 out of 75 cases in Experiment 2, and 7 out of 75 cases in Experiment 3. This approach demonstrates the potential of hybrid metaheuristics in addressing complex optimization problems and offers a robust framework for tackling other NP-hard problems.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is pervasive worldwide, posing a high risk to people's safety and health. Many algorithms were developed to identify COVID-19. One way of identifying COVID-19 is by computed tomography (CT) images. Some segmentation methods are proposed to extract regions of interest from COVID-19 CT images to improve the classification. In this paper, an efficient version of the recent manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) algorithm is proposed based on the oppositionbased learning called the MRFO-OBL algorithm. The original MRFO algorithm can stagnate in local optima and requires further exploration with adequate exploitation. Thus, to improve the population variety in the search space, we applied Opposition-based learning (OBL) in the MRFO's initialization step. MRFO-OBL algorithm can solve the image segmentation problem using multilevel thresholding. The proposed MRFO-OBL is evaluated using Otsu's method over the COVID-19 CT images and compared with six meta-heuristic algorithms: sine-cosine algorithm, moth flame optimization, equilibrium optimization, whale optimization algorithm, slap swarm algorithm, and original MRFO algorithm. MRFO-OBL obtained useful and accurate results in quality, consistency, and evaluation matrices, such as peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index. Eventually, MRFO-OBL obtained more robustness for the segmentation than all other algorithms compared. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the original MRFO and the other compared algorithms under Otsu's method for all the used metrics.

An advanced hybrid algorithm (haDEPSO) is proposed in this paper for constrained optimization problems, based on a multi-population approach. It integrated with suggested advanced differential evolution (aDE) and particle swarm optimization (aPSO). In aDE a novel mutation strategy, crossover probability and random nature selection scheme are introduced, to avoid premature convergence. And aPSO consists of novel gradually varying parameters, to avoid stagnation. The convergence characteristic of aDE and aPSO provides a different approximation to the solution space. Thus, haDEPSO achieves better solutions due to integrating merits of aDE and aPSO. Also in haDEPSO individual population is merged with other in a pre-defined manner, to balance between global and local search capability. The performance of proposed hybrid and its integrated component is verified on IEEE CEC2006 and IEEE CEC2010 constrained benchmark functions plus five complex engineering problems. Several numerical, statistical, graphical and comparative analyses confirm superiority of proposed algorithms over many state-of-the-art algorithms.
