In order to reduce power losses in a power system and to improve voltage profile, researchers have examined and studied optimizing Photovoltaic Power distributed generation (DG) which is location and size in a power system, but the results have some drawbacks. Several approaches developed to make this important issue more efficient, including coming up with new algorithms and improving those already in existence. Many of the proposed algorithms are only concerned with the real power loss, however. Voltage stability control is a critical factor in modern power systems, which makes incorporating reactive power losses in optimizing DG allocation for voltage profile improvement necessary. The goal of this work is to solve this issue by combining Genetic Algorithm and Improved Particle Swarm optimization to optimize DG size and location by considering both real and reactive power losses. Power loss sensitivity factors and real and reactive power flow factors used in identifying which buses will receive DGs. A MATLAB- based program was developed and tested on a test system using distributed generators, considering the proposed method. As compared to Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm optimization and Improved Particle Swarm optimization methods, the Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Improved Particle Swarm optimization method is better for reducing both real and reactive power losses.

We propose an algorithm for computing Stratonovich's value of information (VoI) that can be regarded as an analog of the distortion-rate function. We construct an alternating optimization algorithm for VoI under a general information leakage constraint and derive a convergence condition. Furthermore, we discuss algorithms for computing VoI under specific information leakage constraints, such as Shannon's mutual information (MI), f-leakage, Arimoto's MI, Sibson's MI, and Csiszar's MI.

To reduce recovery cost of repairing multiple failed nodes, many repair schemes have been proposed for erasure codes based distributed storage systems. However, most of the existing researches ignore the network topology of storage devices. Motivated by such considerations, we combine delay repair schemes with network topology and propose a tree-structured model based on fountain codes with large value of {n,k,r}to improve the repair efficiency. More precisely, with the consideration of network topology, a new target named data recovery cost is defined to measure the efficiency of coded fragment download and source file reconstruction, and then the optimal recovery threshold is derived to minimize the average data recovery cost of general tree-structured model. Moreover, we analyze and compare the average data recovery cost of general tree-structure with different systematic parameters. To further improve the data transmission efficiency, an optimal tree-structured scheme based on improved tabu search algorithm (ITSA-ORT) is proposed. Compared with other algorithms, the ITSA-ORT scheme uses Prim algorithm to generate the initial solution and then uses special method to obtain the corresponding neighborhood structure. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can find a globally optimal solution and obtain lower cost of data recovery. In addition, the ITSA-ORT scheme has lower computational complexity than the optimal tree-structured scheme based on particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO-ORT) and the optimal tree-structured scheme based on firefly algorithm (FA-ORT).

Not all generate-and-test search algorithms are created equal. Bayesian optimization (BO) invests a lot of computation time to generate the candidate solution that best balances the predicted value and the uncertainty given all previous data, taking increasingly more time as the number of evaluations performed grows. Evolutionary algorithms (EA) on the other hand rely on search heuristics that typically do not depend on all previous data and can be done in constant time. Both BO and EA community typically assess their performance as a function of the number of evaluations, i.e., data efficiency. However, this is unfair once we start to compare the efficiency of these classes of algorithms, as the overhead times to generate candidate solutions are significantly different . We suggest to measure the efficiency of generate-and-test search algorithms as the expected gain in the objective value per unit of computation time spent, i.e., time efficiency. To the time-efficient search algorithm, we therefore propose a new algorithm, a combination of BO and an EA, BEA for short, that starts with BO, then transfers knowledge to an EA, and subsequently runs the EA. We compare the BEA with BO, the EA, Differential Evolution (DE), and Particle Swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that BEA outperforms BO, the EA, DE and PSO in terms of time efficiency, and ultimately leads to better performance on well-known benchmark objective functions with many local optima. Moreover, we test BEA, BO, and the EA on nine test cases of robot learning problems and here again we find that BEA outperforms the other algorithms.
The simulation of many industrially relevant physical processes can be executed up to exponentially faster using quantum algorithms. However, this speedup can only be leveraged if the data input and output of the simu...

The Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) provides the most efficient use of a Photo-voltaic system independent of irradiance or temperature fluctuations. This paper introduces the modeling and control of a photo-voltaic system operating at MPPT using the arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA). The single and double Photo-voltaic models are investigated. Their optimal unknown parameters are extracted using AOA based on commercial Photo-voltaic datasheets. A comparison is performed between these optimal parameters extracted by AOA and other optimization techniques presented in the literature. These parameters generate the P - V and I - V curves for the studied models considering the temperature factor. A good match is achieved relative to the manufacturer data. A DC-DC boost converter is used as a link between the PV modules and the load. The converter duty cycle is adjusted, varying the climatic conditions using three cases: without a controller, using PI controller, and using the fractional-order PI controller (FOPI). The AOA is employed to set the optimum controllers parameters to maintain the impedance matching between the PV modules and the load. The FOPI shows a significant improvement in controlling the system performance.(c) 2021 THE AUTHORS. Published by Elsevier BV on behalf of Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University.

A class of counting problems asks for the number of regions of a central hyperplane arrangement. By duality, this is the same as counting the vertices of a zonotope. Efficient algorithms are known that solve this problem by computing the vertices of a zonotope from its set of generators. Here, we give an efficient algorithm, based on a linear optimization oracle, that performs the inverse task and recovers the generators of a zonotope from its set of vertices. We also provide a variation of that algorithm that allows to decide whether a polytope, given as its vertex set, is a zonotope and when it is not a zonotope, to compute its greatest zonotopal summand.

The lightning search algorithm (LSA) is a novel meta-heuristic optimization method, which is proposed in 2015 to solve constraint optimization problems. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the applications, variants, and results of the so-called LSA. In LSA, the best-obtained solution is defined to improve the effectiveness of the fitness function through the optimization process by finding the minimum or maximum costs to solve a specific problem. Meta-heuristics have grown the focus of researches in the optimization domain, because of the foundation of decision-making and assessment in addressing various optimization problems. A review of LSA variants is displayed in this paper, such as the basic, binary, modification, hybridization, improved, and others. Moreover, the classes of the LSA's applications include the benchmark functions, machine learning applications, network applications, engineering applications, and others. Finally, the results of the LSA is compared with other optimization algorithms published in the literature. Presenting a survey and reviewing the LSA applications is the chief aim of this survey paper.
