Due to the existence of singular configurations within the workspace for a platform-type parallel manipulator (PPM), the actuating force demands increase drastically as the PPM approaches or crosses singular points. Therefore, in this report, a numerical technique is presented to plan a singularity-free trajectory of the PPM for minimum actuating effort and reactions. By using the parametric trajectory representation, the singularity-free trajectory planning problem can be cast to the determination of undetermined control points, after which a particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed to find the optimal control points. This algorithm ensures that the obtained trajectories can avoid singular points within the workspace and that the PPM has the minimum actuating effort and reactions. Simulations and discussions are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Mechanical property prediction of hot rolled strip is one of the hotspots in material processing research. To avoid the local infinitesimal defect and slow constringency in pure BP algorithm, a kind of global optimizationalgorithm-particleswarmoptimization （PSO） is adopted. The algorithm is combined with the BP rapid training algorithm, and then, a kind of new neural network （NN） called PSO-BP NN is established. With the advantages of global optimization ability and the rapid constringency of the BP rapid training algorithm, the new algorithm fully shows the ability of nonlinear approach of multilayer feedforward network, improves the performance of NN, and provides a favorable basis for further online application of a comprehensive model.

Most supply chain programming problems are restricted to the deterministic situations or stochastic environmcnts. Considering twofold uncertainty combining grey and fuzzy factors, this paper proposes a hybrid uncertain programming model to optimize the supply chain production-distribution cost. The programming parameters of the material suppliers, manufacturer, distribution centers, and the customers are integrated into the presented model. On the basis of the chance measure and the credibility of grey fuzzy variable, the grey fuzzy simulation methodology was proposed to generate input-output data for the uncertain functions. The designed neural network can expedite the simulation process after trained from the generated input-output data. The improved particleswarmoptimization （PSO） algorithm based on the Differential Evolution （DE） algorithm can optimize the uncertain programming problems. A numerical example was presented to highlight the significance of the uncertain model and the feasibility of the solution strategy.

A fuzzy neural network controller for underwater vehicles has many parameters difficult to tune manually. To reduce the numerous work and subjective uncertainties in manual adjustments, a hybrid particleswarmoptimization （HPSO） algorithm based on immune theory and nonlinear decreasing inertia weight （NDIW） strategy is proposed. Owing to the restraint factor and NDIW strategy, an HPSO algorithm can effectively prevent premature convergence and keep balance between global and local searching abilities. Meanwhile, the algorithm maintains the ability of handling multimodal and multidimensional problems. The HPSO algorithm has the fastest convergence velocity and finds the best solutions compared to GA, IGA, and basic PSO algorithm in simulation experiments. Experimental results on the AUV simulation platform show that HPSO-based controllers perform well and have strong abilities against current disturbance. It can thus be concluded that the proposed algorithm is feasible for application to AUVs.

A robust control strategy is proposed to control UPFC in different operating conditions. PI regulators used for UPFC suffer from the inadequacies of providing suitable control for transient stability enhancement over a wide range of system operating conditions. In this paper an optimization method based on particle-swarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to optimize the parameters of the PI controller of UPFC in order to enhance the power system transient stability. This scheme dispenses the gain dependency of the proportional or integral gains and generates independent control actions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulations of a multi-machine power system.

Deregulation has created a competitive market among power market participants, and the pricing system plays an important role. Locational marginal pricing (LMP) provides clear market signals that identify the locations where power market participants could make their decisions so as to maximize their profits. In this work, artificial neural networks (ANNs) models are used to predict hourly LMP. ANN is trained using the particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO aims to minimize the error function by adjusting neural network's weights and biases using a stochastic optimal search. Wavelet transformed data is fed into neural network as pre-processing stage in order to get a better price pattern that will be reliable for forecasting. The historical LMP and corresponding load demand and temperature are trained, validated and tested over a period of one season. The efficient generalization of proposed model is investigated using early stopping technique. The results were compared with neural models using conventional back-propagation (BP) algorithm and radial basis function (RBF) and yielded encouraging results.

The method takes advantages of the minimum structure risk of SVM and the quickly globally optimizing ability of PSO for soft sensor modeling. The simulation results demonstrate that the model has effective generalization performance, higher precision and engineering practicability.

Attribute reduction is one of the important topics in the research on rough set theory. In confrontation with dynamic data, common methods of attributes reduction have such disadvantages as unstable reduction results, intensive computation and the difficulty in meeting the need of real-time processing. To solve these problems, a method of dynamic attributes reduction with improved PSO algorithm is proposed based on the research of particleswarmoptimization. The concrete work is the following: firstly, the traditional PSO algorithm is improved to enhance the global search ability, which increases the diversity of particle population distribution. Secondly, the information decision system data extraction is divided into some subdecision tables, which are reducted by used of improved PSO algorithm. Finally, each reduction results are intersected and get the most minimal reduction. Simulation and experimental results show the dynamic reduction algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of common attribute reduction which possesses the significant effect and rapid computation.
