This study presents a two-stage competent and efficient approach for optimal operation of wind-pumped-storage-hydro (PSH)-solar-thermal-storage hybrid power plant to get maximum system revenue and profit along with maintaining the grid frequency. The wind speed is predicted for a deregulated market and accordingly, the wind plants are committed to supplying the demand. The operation of PSH, battery and solar power are considered in order to minimise the adverse effect of imbalance cost which comes into the picture due to the mismatch between actual and predicted wind power. The proposed operating strategy for the complex hybrid plant helps to reduce the uncertainty of renewable power sources in an economical manner. Two new energy levels associated with pumped storage, i.e. PEopt and PElow and four energy levels associated with the battery, i.e. BEmax, BEopt, BElow and BEmin have been considered in this work to show the robustness of the proposed strategy. The proposed approach is implemented and compared using Mi-Power, bat algorithm, particle swarm optimisation algorithm, genetic algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm. Modified IEEE 14-bus system is used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The bilateral contracts with a double auction bidding model for the competitive power market are also considered for the implementation.

Multilevel inverter has arrived on the scene as an attractive and unique tool which is extensively employed for adapting dc (direct current) voltage to ac (alternating current) voltage. These appliances have recently taken shape as reliable sources of elevated power and found themselves well-utilised more often than not in industrial applications, by employing sine or adapted sine waves. The sine wave form generated in the multilevel inverter output has huge harmonics which should be minimised by appropriate steps. With a view to minimise the harmonics at the output signal, it is necessary to cut short the related total harmonic deformation (THD) of switching angles. Genetic algorithm is widely employed for the function of harmonic optimisation. However a hurdle appears as the cost function tends to invite further intricacy for the optimisation, entailing an added number of iterations. Therefore, with an eye on scaling down the number of iterations, the intention of genetic and particle swarm optimisation algorithms is to optimise the switching angles to the utmost. This method also leads to the decline of the related THD values. The innovative method is executed in the MATLAB/Simulink working platform.

The accuracy of state of charge estimation results will directly affect the performance of battery management system. Due to such, we focus in this article on the SOC estimation of Lithium-Ion batteries based on a fractional second-order RC model with free noninteger differentiation orders. For such an estimation, three Kalman filters are employed: the adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF), extended Kalman filter (EKF), and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The Fractional-Order Model (FOM) parameters and differentiation orders are identified by the particleswarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and a pulsed-discharge test is implemented to verify the accuracy of parameter identification. The output voltage error of the FOM model is much less than that of the Integer-Order Model (IOM). The FOM model has lower root-mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the maximum absolute error (MAXAE) of SOC estimation than the IOM model during the SOC estimation regardless of AEKF, EKF or UKF. Experimental results show that the FOM can simulate the polarisation on effect and charge-discharge characteristics of the battery more realistically, demonstrating that the SOC estimation based on FOM is more accurate and promising than the one based on the IOM when using the same Kalman filters.

In mines planning, the long-term production scheduling problem (LTPSP) in open-pit mines is considered as a significant issue. It also specifies the distribution of cash flow during the course of the mine-life. Actually, LTPSP is a large-scale optimisation problem including large data-sets, multiple constraints, and uncertainty in the input factors that, has to be solved in a reasonable time. LTPSP, despite the valuable efforts of researchers, has not yet been well resolved. In this paper, hybrid models have been offered by the Lagrangian relaxation (LR) method with meta-heuristic methods, bat algorithm and particleswarmoptimisation for solving the LTPSP due to the deterministic assumption and concerning the grade uncertainty. To bring update the Lagrange multipliers, the meta-heuristic algorithms have been applied. In terms of cumulative net present value, average ore grade, and computational time in a 12-year production period, the consequences achieved from the case studies point out that a solution close to optimisation can be presented by the LR-bat algorithm hybrid strategy in comparison with other methods. The results analysis has shown that the proposed method produces a near-optimal solution with a rational time that can be a good suggestion for utilising in the mining industry.

This study proposes hybrid control strategies for aggregated thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) in order to provide ancillary service. The on/off control strategy and the setpoint-regulation strategy are two typical control strategies. In order to reduce the tracking errors of the two control strategies, two improved methods were developed. The first method dispatches the aggregated loads to the automatic generation control signal following a step rule based on the state of charge. The second method optimises the controller parameters of the setpoint-regulation strategy by the Powell optimisationalgorithm. Based on these two improved methods, the hybrid control strategies with parallel and cascade control structures were established by dividing the TCLs into two clusters, and the optimal allocations of the loads, the reference signal and the tracking error between the two clusters were obtained by the particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the hybrid control strategies can reduce the errors in load following.

Upon mapping swarm robots search to particleswarmoptimisation (PSO) and proposing concept of lime-varying character swarm (TVCS), the authors extend PSO to model swarm robotic system. Based on control principle of expected evolution position, an asynchronous communication policy is presented. Robot detects target signals in parallel to decide expected evolution position. The required time steps for completing the distance between two consecutive expected positions depend on kinematics constraints of robot. Meanwhile, robot evaluates positions it passes in every time step, updating its cognition as soon as when a better finding of itself has been found, updating shared information and broadcasting within TVCS if a better finding of swami appears. Either listening change of shared information or reaching the current expected position, robot starts to compute new expected position and turn out next control round. Simulation results indicate that the presented communication strategy has advantage over popular ones in search efficiency.

When hydrology model parameters are determined, a traditional data assimilation method (such as Kalman filter) and a hydrology model can estimate the root zone soil water with uncertain state variables (such as initial soil water content). The simulated result can be quite good. However, when a key soil hydraulic property, such as the saturated hydraulic conductivity, is overestimated or underestimated, the traditional soil water assimilation process will produce a persistent bias in its predictions. In this paper, we present and demonstrate a new multi-scale assimilation method by combining the direct insertion assimilation method, particleswarmoptimisation (PSO) algorithm and Richards equation. We study the possibility of estimating root zone soil water with a multi-scale assimilation method by using observed in situ data from the Wudaogou experiment station, Huaihe River Basin, China. The results indicate there is a persistent bias between simulated and observed values when the direct insertion assimilation surface soil water content is used to estimate root zone soil water contents. Using a multi-scale assimilation method (PSO algorithm and direct insertion assimilation) and an assumed bottom boundary condition, the results show some obvious improvement, but the root mean square error is still relatively large. When the bottom boundary condition is similar to the actual situation, the multi-scale assimilation method can well represent the root zone soil water content. The results indicate that the method is useful in estimating root zone soil water when available soil water data are limited to the surface layer and the initial soil water content even when the soil hydraulic conductivities are uncertain.

The linear time-varying frequency errors (LTFE) caused by the mismatch of transmitter and receiver oscillators can defocus the imaging result of distributed inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) seriously. The LTFE calibration method based on the entropy minimization principle is sensitive to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and its performance is degraded significantly under low SNR conditions. In addition, this method uses enumeration algorithm to solve the optimization problem, which has a heavy computation burden. Therefore, a robust calibration method based on the contrast maximization principle is proposed. Compared with image entropy, image contrast has better anti-noise ability because it has better sensitivity property, namely, the change of image contrast is sharper than the change of image entropy. In the proposed method, the estimation of frequency error coefficient is modelled as an unconstrained optimization problem with image contrast as cost function, and the particleswarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to search the global optimal solution. Then, the LTFE can be calibrated by the estimated frequency error coefficient. The proposed method has better robustness, which can work well under low SNR conditions. Besides, it has higher computational efficiency. Simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Voltage dip and long duration interruption (LDI) are among the most costly power quality phenomena. In this study, a Monte-Carlo based approach is proposed to consider the cost of sensitive loads disruption caused by dip and LDI in the optimal planning of synchronous distributed generations (SDGs). The idea is to link between trip probability due to dip and LDI and their yearly costs by employing Monte-Carlo simulation and acquiring their total costs during the planning horizon. The addition of disruption cost along with the traditional planning objectives like network upgrade cost and loss cost allows utilities to include the customer's perception during planning. A formula for the probability of disruption due to dip is derived and a modified Monte-Carlo approach is proposed. The methodology is illustrated on the distribution level of the IEEE 30-bus system and the optimisation problem is solved by particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The results demonstrate that the sensitive loads performance is improved from the dip standpoint in the presence of SDGs. However, the LDI cost is either not affected or aggravated by the presence of SDGs depending on the protection model. The total disruption cost is decreased.

Piecewise Lyapunov functions and non-quadratic Lyapunov functions have been employed to analyse Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems for getting relaxed results in the literature. Nevertheless, until now piecewise non-quadratic Lyapunov functions have not been used to design T-S fuzzy control systems. Motivated by the aforementioned concerns, this study utilises the minimum-type piecewise non-quadratic Lyapunov function to design the discrete T-S fuzzy control system. Based on the piecewise non-quadratic Lyapunov function, the switching non-parallel distributed compensation control law is proposed to obtain the relaxed stabilisation criterion. Owing to that some conditions of the proposed criterion are bilinear matrix inequalitiy conditions, the particle swarm optimisation algorithm is applied for finding out the solution of the criterion. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed criterion.
