This paper presents an intelligent approach to identify parameters of single-phase induction motors. Because of the complication of space-phasor equations describing its dynamic behaviors, the parameters of single-phase induction motors could be roughly estimated via conventional tests based on the steady-state analysis. Therefore, they may cause inaccurate estimation. In this paper, some effic...

The particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) has two typical problems as in other adaptive evolutionary algorithms, which are based on swarm intelligence search. To deal with the problems of the slow convergence rate and the tendency to trap into premature, an improved particle swarm optimization with decline disturbance index (DDPSO) is presented in this paper. The index was added when the ...

this paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm. pso algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ise) as a performance criteria. in this paper, an improved pso using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

this study investigates the prediction model of compressive strength of self–compacting concrete (scc) by utilizing soft computing techniques. the techniques consist of adaptive neuro–based fuzzy inference system (anfis), artificial neural network (ann) and the hybrid of particle swarm optimization with passive congregation (psopc) and anfis called psopc–anfis. their performances are comparativ...

this paper presents a relatively new management model for the optimal design and operation of irrigation water pumping systems. the model makes use of the newly introduced particle swarm optimization algorithm. a two step optimization model is developed and solved with the particle swarm optimization method. the model first carries out an exhaustive enumeration search for all feasible sets of p...

The determination of the bearing capacity pile foundations is very important for their design. Due to high uncertainty various factors between and soil, many methods predicting ultimate focus on correlation with field tests. In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been successfully applied types complex issues in geotechnical engineering, among which back-propagation (BP) method ...

A fuzzy adaptive particle swarm optimization (FAPSO) is presented to determine the optimal operation of hydrothermal power system. In order to solve the shortcoming premature and easily local optimum of the standard particle swarm optimization (PSO), the fuzzy adaptive criterion is applied for inertia weight based on the evolution speed factor and square deviation of fitness for the swarm, in e...

so far various methods for optimization presented and one of most popular of them are optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence and also one of most successful of them is particle swarm optimization (pso). prior some efforts by applying fuzzy logic for improving defects of pso such as trapping in local optimums and early convergence has been done. moreover to overcome the problem of i...
