An effective and simple solution methodology is applied and demonstrated to optimize the reliability redundancy allocation problems (RRAP) for the series-parallel system, the complex (bridge) system, and the overs peed protection of gas turbine system. The objective of the RRAP is the best known to maximize the system reliability for numerous decades. For this paper, in order to maximize the system reliability, it has to decide simultaneously the number of redundant components and the reliability of corresponding components in each subsystem with nonlinear constraints. This work is one difficulty for the RRAP. Hence, the RRAP is the mixed-integer programming problem with the nonlinear constraints that belongs to the NP-hard problem. In this paper, the simplifiedswarmoptimization (SSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the RRAP and improve computation efficiency for these NP-hard problems. The proposed SSO belongs to the category of swarm Intelligence methods and is also an evolutionary computation method. Total three RRAP problems are successfully demonstrated by the proposed SSO algorithm. There are the comparisons of the experiment results among the proposed SSO algorithm with other available algorithms in this literature. On the average performance in the reliability of the three systems, the proposed SSO algorithm outperforms the previously best-known solutions.

The parameters of solar cells models have an effect on the simulation of solar cells and can be applied to monitor the working condition and diagnose potential faults for photovoltaic (PV) modules in a PV system. To accurately and efficiently extract the optimal parameters of solar cells in a limited CPU run time, a modified simplifiedswarmoptimization (MSSO) algorithm is presented for the single diode and double diode models by minimizing the least square error between the calculated and experimental data. In MSSO, a new one-variable-update mechanism and survival-of-the-fittest policy are applied to enhance the ability of traditional SSO. To investigate the performance of MSSO, comparative studies with other well-known optimizationalgorithms, i.e., SSO, artificial bee colony (ABC) and simplified bird mating optimizer (SBMO), are presented, and extensive computational results are shown. The statistical data indicate that the MSSO method has the best performance among these methods in terms of efficiency, robustness and accuracy. Moreover, the current vs. voltage characteristics of the parameters extracted by MSSO coincide well with those of experimental data. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Time series clustering is an important area of research, driven by the prevalence of time series data in domains such as power and maintenance data. However, most existing clustering algorithms are not specialized for time series data. Therefore, this study introduces a metaheuristics-based approach, utilizing a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) for feature extraction in time series clustering. The RBM, a neural network algorithm with two layers and undirected weights, is kept simple to avoid complex parameter settings. The study employs the RBM as an encoder, coupled with a K-step contrastive divergence and an improved, simplifiedswarmoptimization (iSSO) algorithm for training. The proposed hybrid of iSSO-based RBM and K-means algorithm is compared with RBM and particle swarmoptimization-based RBM across the tested time series datasets. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm yields superior performance, reconstructing time series data with minimal error and achieving the highest clustering accuracy compared to other baseline algorithms.

This study applies a penalty guided strategy and the orthogonal array test (OA) based on the simplified swarm optimization algorithm (SSO) to solve the reliability redundancy allocation problems (RRAP) in the series system, the series-parallel system, the complex (bridge) system, and the overspeed protection of gas turbine system. For several decades, the RRAP has been one of the most well known techniques. The maximization of system reliability, the number of redundant components, and the reliability of corresponding components in each subsystem have to be decided simultaneously with nonlinear constraints, acting as one difficulty for the use of the RRAP. In other words, the objective function of the RRAP is the mixed-integer programming problem with the nonlinear constraints. The RRAP is of the class of NP-hard. Hence, in this paper, the SSO algorithm is proposed to solve the RRAP and improve computation efficiency for these NP-hard problems. There are four RRAP problems used to illustrate the applicability and the effectiveness of the SSO. The experimental results are compared with previously developed algorithms in literature. Moreover, the maximum-possible-improvement (MPI) is used to measure the amount of improvement of the solution found by the SSO to the previous solutions. According to the results, the system reliabilities obtained by the proposed SSO for the four RRAP problems are as well as or better than the previously best-known solutions.
