With the explosive growth of electricity consumption, the demand for electricity by electricity users is increasing. As a core component of power supply, the safe and stable operation of transmission lines plays an important role in the normal operation of the entire power system. However, traditional monitoring methods for transmission line operation status face challenges such as limited accuracy, lack of real-time feedback, and high operational costs. In this paper, the firefly algorithm is used to monitor the running status of transmission lines. Through synchronous testing with the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, it is found that the average accuracy of the firefly algorithm in voltage and current measurement is improved to 93.13% and 93.66% respectively, which is better than the traditional algorithm. firefly algorithm shows high precision in various power equipment monitoring, the average monitoring accuracy is 95.62% and 93.06%, respectively, which proves that it has stronger performance in transmission line monitoring and can achieve more stringent monitoring requirements. Through the comparison experiment of the algorithm, it proved that the firefly algorithm had a strong performance in the transmission line operation status monitoring, and could more accurately identify the transmission line fault, which provided a new idea and new method for the safe operation status monitoring of transmission lines.

The conventional direct torque control (DTC) has high torque and stator flux fluctuation that causes the stator current distortion. This paper presents an efficient control method based on the feedback -linearization direct torque control (FL-DTC) method for an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drive by using an improved firefly algorithm. The proposed approach can greatly restrain the poor performance of torque and stator flux. Thus, it is suitable for IPMSM drives in electric vehicles. First, a decoupled linear model is derived to implement the proposed efficient feedback linearization control for the IPMSM. Two phase voltages in d-q axes and two additional control inputs take shape into an isomorphism mapping with the concept of orthogonal transformation. The torque generation is related to the additional control. Second, the Hamiltonian efficient control theory combined with an improved firefly algorithm is applied to obtain an analytical solution. An efficient linearization controller is designed with a cost function considering the maximum voltage of the inverter. Finally, simulation and experiment are carried out to compare the performance of the proposed efficient FL-DTC with the improved firefly algorithm and the conventional direct torque control. The results show that the proposed control method can reduce the torque and flux ripples at a steady state and maintains a good dynamic response with the variations of speed and torque.(c) 2022 ISA.

Feature selection has become popular in data mining tasks currently for its ability of improving the performance of the algorithm and gaining more information about the dataset. Although the firefly algorithm is a well-performed heuristic algorithm, there is still much room for improvement as to the feature selection problem. In this research, an improved firefly algorithm designed for feature selection with the ReliefF-based initialization method and the weighted voting mechanism is proposed. First of all, a feature grouping initialization method that combines the results of the ReliefF algorithm and the cosine similarity is designed to take place of random initialization. Then, the direction of the firefly is modified to move toward the optimal solution. Finally, inspired by the ensemble algorithm, a weighted voter is proposed to build recommended positions for fireflies, which is also integrated with the elite crossover operator and the mutation operator to improve the diversity of the population. Selected from the mixed swarm, a new population is constructed to replace the original population in the next stage. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in this paper, 18 datasets are utilized and 9 comparison algorithms (e.g., Black Hole algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimizer and Pigeon Inspired Optimizer) from state-of-the-art related works are selected for the simulating experiments. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm applied to the feature selection problem.

As a nature-inspired metaheuristic method, the firefly algorithm (FA) arises more attentions in academic and engineering fields. However, too much attraction in FA's global attraction model leads to low computational efficiency, and the stochastic model with fixed randomization parameter is hard to balance the exploitation and exploration of the algorithm. Thus, FA still needs improvement to deal with complex engineering problems. An integrated firefly algorithm (IFA) that combines two novel attractive models with a new stochastic model is proposed to improve the standard FA. Firstly, the attractive model and stochastic model of standard FA are investigated through theoretical analysis and numerical experiments. And the factors that affect the computational efficiency and accuracy of FA are revealed. Based on the analysis results, two new fitness-based update formulas for attractiveness parameter are constructed to avoid the invalidation. The proposed virtual attractive model and global best attractive model can reduce the computation complexity and enhance the exploitation ability. Moreover, an adaptive strategy is presented for the stochastic model to achieve a better balance between exploitation and exploration. The nonlinearly decreased model for the update of parameter alpha can adjust the population diversity through the iteration and ensure the convergence. Additionally, an adaptive penalty function method is developed to handle the constraints effectively. Then, the initial parameters are tested, and the best initial parameters corresponding to the optimal performance of IFA are obtained. The proposed algorithm is evaluated by CEC2015 hybrid composition and a set of classical functions. The numerical experimental results show that the proposed techniques can enhance the solution accuracy and accelerate the convergence speed. Finally, IFA and other metaheuristic algorithms are applied to solve five engineering design optimization problems with mixed variables

This paper studies a non-convex power minimization problem for reconfigurable-intelligent-surfaces-aided communication systems whose constraints are multivariate functions of two independent optimization variables, i.e., active and passive beamforming vectors. A widely adopted alternative optimization (AO) approach approximates the originally non-convex problem by two convex sub-optimization problems where each suboptimization problem deals with one variable considering the other variable as a constant. The solution for the original problem is obtained by iteratively solving these sub-optimization problems. Although the AO approach converts the original NP-hard optimization problem to two convex sub-problems, the solutions attained by this method may not be the global optimal solution due to the approximation process as well as the inherent non-convexity of the original problem. To overcome the issue, this paper adopts a nature-inspired optimization approach and introduces a novel firefly algorithm (FA) to simultaneously solve for two independent optimization variables of the originally nonconvex optimization problem. Computational complexity analyses are provided for the proposed FA and the AO approaches. Simulation results reveal that the proposed FA approach prevails its AO counterpart in obtaining a better solution for the under-studied optimization problem with the same order of computational complexity.

Geometrical increase in power demand and high load density at the distribution ends of modern power systems have key consequential problems of high power loss and poor voltage profile, as a result of which the integrity of radial distribution networks to faithfully account for the energy received from transmission subsystems has been seriously undermined. This challenge is, however, being overcome by placement of shunt capacitors to supply the reactive power required for compensation;hence, optimal sitting and sizing of compensators has been intensively researched. As efficient as the use of meta-heuristic algorithms for joint optimal placement and sizing of the shunt capacitors are, employment of the approach on the Nigerian radial distribution system (RDS) is not yet popular as most of the earlier works reported rather used analytical and numerical programming approaches. In this study, therefore, the use of firefly algorithm (FA) on a Nigerian 11-kV feeder is presented as an approach to optimally site and size shunt capacitor for real power loss reduction on such network. Backward-forward sweep load flow technique, with voltage stability index (VSI), is employed to find the candidate buses where the shunt capacitors would be installed, then FA is employed to determine the optimal size required. This approach is implemented on a 34-bus 11-kV feeder and it is found out that the system?s real power loss reduced from 762.6419 to 597.7486?kW, while the minimum bus voltage magnitude was raised from 0.8295 to 0.8456 p.u. and the minimum system VSI was improved from 0.4741 to 0.5121 p.u. Based on these results, the proposed approach is, therefore, considered a promising technique for sitting and sizing shunt capacitor optimally in real practical RDS.

Nowadays, technology has shifted the way individuals access news from conventional media sources to social media platforms. The active engagement of people with social media platforms leads them to consume news without confirming its source or legitimacy. This facilitated the dissemination of more manipulated and false information in the form of rumors and fake news. Fake news can affect public opinion and create chaos and panic among the population. Thus, it is essential to employ an advanced methodology to identify fake news with high precision. This research work has proposed the concept of the quantum-inspired firefly algorithm with the ant miner plus algorithm (QFAMP) for more effective fake news detection. The proposed QFAMP algorithm utilizes the attributes of quantum computing (QC), the firefly algorithm (FA), and the ant miner plus algorithm (AMP). Here, the QFA approach ensures the effective exploitation of the firefly agents until the agents are able to search for the brighter firefly. Further, the AMP algorithm utilizes the best ants with higher pheromone concentrations for global exploration, which also avoids the premature convergence of the QFA agents. In addition, the AMP algorithm serves as an efficient data mining variant that is effective for the classification of fake news. The efficacy of the proposed QFAMP algorithm is evaluated for the dataset of FakeNewsNet, which is composed of two sub-categories: BuzzFeed and PolitiFact. The experimental evaluations indicate the effective performance of the proposed algorithm compared to the other techniques.

The use of solar photovoltaic panels as source of power for Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors requires a DCDC Converter circuit. One application of solar energy is as a power source for Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors. The main problem is the voltage fluctuation and low DC voltage generated by the solar panel. This research aims to improve the performance of the DC-DC Boost Converter circuit and minimize voltage fluctuations. The methodology encompasses mathematical modeling of the circuit in the form of transfer functions and optimizing the DC-DC Boost Converter circuit using the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and the firefly algorithm. Simulation testing results indicate an improvement in transient response performance of the DC-DC Converter circuit as a driver for the BLDC motor. This is evidenced by an increase in rise time from 499 s to 820 s, a decrease in settling time from 3.33 e+03 s to 2.07e+03 s, and a reduction in overshoot to 0 % from previously 11.4 %. The utilization of the firefly algorithm in optimization significantly enhances system efficiency, as demonstrated by faster achievement of stability without excessive oscillation and a reduction in the time required for the system to settle. Overall, this study shows that the firefly algorithm is effective in developing DC-DC Boost Converter circuits, improving system efficiency by reducing settling time and eliminating overshoot. These findings provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence algorithms in enhancing the operational efficiency of energy conversion systems.

As one of the evolutionary algorithms, firefly algorithm (FA) has been widely used to solve various complex optimization problems. However, FA has significant drawbacks in slow convergence rate and is easily trapped into local optimum. To tackle these defects, this paper proposes an improved FA combined with extremal optimization (EO), named IFA-EO, where three strategies are incorporated. First, to balance the tradeoff between exploration ability and exploitation ability, we adopt a new attraction model for FA operation, which combines the full attraction model and the single attraction model through the probability choice strategy. In the single attraction model, small probability accepts the worse solution to improve the diversity of the offspring. Second, the adaptive step size is proposed based on the number of iterations to dynamically adjust the attention to the exploration model or exploitation model. Third, we combine an EO algorithm with powerful ability in local-search into FA. Experiments are tested on two group popular benchmarks including complex unimodal and multimodal functions. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed IFA-EO algorithm can deal with various complex optimization problems and has similar or better performance than the other eight FA variants, three EO-based algorithms, and one advanced differential evolution variant in terms of accuracy and statistical results.
