This paper proposes a refined version of particle swarm optimization technique for the optimum design of steel structures. Swarm is composed of a number of particles and each particle in the swarm represents a candidate solution of the optimum design problem. Design constraints in accordance with ASD-AISC (Allowable Stress Design Code of American Institute of Steel Institution) are imposed by t...

Reactive power optimization is important to ensure power quality, improve system security, and reduce active power loss. So, this paper proposed parallel immune particle swarm optimization (PIPSO) algorithm. This algorithm makes basic particle swarm optimization (BPSO) and discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) to optimize in parallel, and improves the convergence capability of particle sw...
