Abstract

In this paper a novel Multi-objective fuzzy self adaptive hybrid particle swarm optimization (MFSAHPSO) evolutionary algorithm to solve the Multi-objective optimal operation management (MOOM) is presented. The purposes of the MOOM problem are to decrease the total electrical energy losses, the total electrical energy cost and the total pollutant emission produced by fuel cells and substation bus. Conventional algorithms used to solve the multi-objective optimization problems convert the multiple objectives into a single objective, using a vector of the user-predefined weights. In this conversion several deficiencies can be detected. For instance, the optimal solution of the algorithms depends greatly on the values of the weights and also some of the information may be lost in the conversion process and so this strategy is not expected to provide a robust solution. This paper presents a new MFSAHPSO algorithm for the MOOM problem. The proposed algorithm maintains a finite-sized repository of non-dominated solutions which gets iteratively updated in the presence of new solutions. Since the objective functions are not the same, a fuzzy clustering technique is used to control the size of the repository, within the limits. The proposed algorithm is tested on a distribution test feeder and the results demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed approach, to generate true and well-distributed Pareto-optimal non-dominated solutions of the MOOM problem.
