Optimal coordination of directional over-current relays (DOCRs) is a crucial task in ensuring the security and reliability of power system network. In this paper, a hybridization of an improved particle swarm optimization and linear programming (IPSO-LP) is proposed to solve DOCRs coordination problem. The considered decision variables in the optimization are plug setting current, time multiplier setting, type of relay, and type of curve. By considering these parameters in the optimization, the best relay operating time can be determined. Furthermore, the proposed technique also considered the continuous values of pick-up current setting (PSC) and time setting multiplier (TMS). Test on …

A Linear Programming Approach To Multiple Instance Learning, Emel Şeyma Küçükaşci, Mustafa Gökçe Baydoğan, Zeki̇ Caner Taşkin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multiple instance learning (MIL) aims to classify objects with complex structures and covers a wide range of real-world data mining applications. In MIL, objects are represented by a bag of instances instead of a single instance, and class labels are provided only for the bags. Some of the earlier MIL methods focus on solving MIL problem under the standard MIL assumption, which requires at least one positive instance in positive bags and all remaining instances are negative. This study proposes a linear programming framework to learn instance level contributions to bag label without emposing the standart assumption. Each instance of …

A Random Subspace Based Conic Functions Ensemble Classifier, Emre Çi̇men Jan 2020

A Random Subspace Based Conic Functions Ensemble Classifier, Emre Çi̇men

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Classifiers overfit when the data dimensionality ratio to the number of samples is high in a dataset. This problem makes a classification model unreliable. When the overfitting problem occurs, one can achieve high accuracy in the training; however, test accuracy occurs significantly less than training accuracy. The random subspace method is a practical approach to overcome the overfitting problem. In random subspace methods, the classification algorithm selects a random subset of the features and trains a classifier function trained with the selected features. The classification algorithm repeats the process multiple times, and eventually obtains an ensemble of classifier functions. Conic …

Interval Fuzzy Modeling Based On Minimizing-Norm On Approximation Error, Xiaoyong Liu, Zhonggang Xiong, Changguo Yan

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: As the obtained data in many practical applications tend to be uncertain or inaccurate, conventional modeling methods characterized by deterministic model for this type of data have become undesirable. Taking linear programming and TS fuzzy model and some ideas from norm minimization into consideration, a novel method identifying interval fuzzy model (INFUMO) consisting of upper and lower TS fuzzy model (referred to as fU and fL) has been studied. In order to solve INFUMO, optimization problems based on minimizing-norm with respect to approximation error corresponding to fU and fL are constructed. Finally, optimization problems …

The Impact Of Disabling Suspicious Node Communications On Network Lifetime In Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks, Zeydi̇n Pala, Ni̇hat İnanç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the data observed by different nodes must be relayed safely to the base station over intermediate nodes. In the network environment, some sensor nodes can act suspiciously when they enter someone else's control or due to other equipment failure. Data packets that are sent through suspicious nodes may be randomly dropped or may be not delivered as desired. In this paper, we investigate the impact of disabling suspicious nodes communications on network lifetime through a linear programming framework. We build a mathematical programming framework and perform comprehensive numerical analysis. Our results show that the decrease …


Composite Power System Adequacy Assessment Based On Postoptimal Analysis, Amir Safdarian, Mahmood Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar Jan 2013

Composite Power System Adequacy Assessment Based On Postoptimal Analysis, Amir Safdarian, Mahmood Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The modeling and evaluation of enormous numbers of contingencies are the most challenging impediments associated with composite power system adequacy assessment, particularly for large-scale power systems. Optimal power flow (OPF) solution, as a widely common approach, is normally employed to model and analyze each individual contingency as an independent problem. However, mathematical representations associated with diverse states are slightly different in one or a few generating units, line outages, or trivial load variations. This inherent attribute brings a promising idea to speed up the contingency evaluation procedure. In this paper, postoptimal analysis (POA), as a well-recognized technique to attack a …

Minimization Of Load Shedding By Sequential Use Of Linear Programming And Particle Swarm Optimization, Mehrdad Tarafdar Hagh, Sadjad Galvani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Minimization of load shedding during contingency conditions is solved as an optimization problem. As a new topic, instead of local load shedding, total load shedding of a large power system is considered. Power generation rescheduling is considered to minimize the load shedding, as well. Different importance factors for buses are also considered. The linear programming method (LP) is used to solve this problem in a short period of time without considering some power system constraints. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is also used to solve the problem by considering all power system constraints, but with a longer solving time. Finally, a …


Cut-And-Solve: A Linear Search Strategy For Combinatorial Optimization Problems, Sharlee Climer, Weixiong Zhang Aug 2005

Cut-And-Solve: A Linear Search Strategy For Combinatorial Optimization Problems, Sharlee Climer, Weixiong Zhang

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions. In this paper, we introduce a linear search strategy which we refer to as cut-and-solve and prove optimality and completeness for this method. This search is different from traditional tree searching as there is no branching. At each node in the search path, a relaxed problem and a sparse problem are solved and a constraint is added to the relaxed problem. The sparse problems provide incumbent solutions. When the constraining of the relaxed problem becomes tight enough, its solution value becomes no better than the incumbent solution value. At this …
