This paper proposes a deterministic particle swarm optimization to improve the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) capability for photovoltaic system under partial shading condition. The main idea is to remove the random number in the accelerations factor of the conventional PSO velocity equation. Additionally, the maximum change in velocity is restricted to a particular value, which is determined...
In many applications it is desirable to have the maximum radiation of an array directed normal to the axis of the array (Broadside radiation). In this paper, the optimal broadside radiation patterns of three-ring Concentric Circular Antenna Arrays (CCAA) with and without central element feeding are reported. For each optimal synthesis, optimal current excitation weights and optimal radii of the rings...
This paper proposes a new method for interference suppression by controlling the digital phase shifters of a linear antenna array using the binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm. The BPSO searches for an optimal solution within the available binary sequence numbers representing the digital phase shifters in order to minimize a suitable fitness function. The evaluation of the fitness...
The paper presents a cooperative control algorithm for a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in the surveillance of the area around a military base to protect against potential threats. The UAVs are required to search an area of interest, while efficiently allocating their time between zones of varying degrees of importance. Irregular routes are preferred, to reduce the ability of an adversary...
