This study proposes and applies an evolutionary-based approach for multiobjective reconfiguration in electrical power distribution networks. In this model, two types of indicators of power quality are minimised: (i) power system's losses and (ii) reliability indices. Four types of reliability indices are considered. A microgenetic algorithm (mGA) is used to handle the reconfiguration problem as a multiobjective optimisation problem with competing and non-commensurable objectives. In this context, experiments have been conducted on two standard test systems and a real network. Such problems characterise typical distribution systems taking into consideration several factors associated with the practical operation of medium voltage electrical power networks. The results show the ability of the proposed approach to generate well-distributed Pareto optimal solutions to the multiobjective reconfiguration problem. In the systems adopted for assessment purposes, our proposed approach was able to find the entire Pareto front. Furthermore, better performance indexes were found in comparison to the Pareto envelope-based selection algorithm 2 (PESA 2) technique, which is another well-known multiobjective evolutionary algorithm available in the specialised literature. From a practical point of view, the results established, in general, that a compact trade-off region exists between the power losses and the reliability indices. This means that the proposed approach can recommend to the decision maker a small set of possible solutions in order to select from them the most suitable radial topology.

Summary: This article proposes an immune-inspired resource allocation strategy to better balance convergence and diversity in many-objective optimization. By defining the diversity distances of solutions, resource allocation is realized using an immune cloning operator to explore sparse regions of the search space. A novel archive update mechanism is also designed to provide high-quality solutions. The experimental results validate the superiority of this method in solving complex MOPs with 5 to 15 objectives.

Discretization-Based Feature Selection as a Bilevel Optimization Problem

Rihab Said, Maha Elarbi, Slim Bechikh, Carlos Artemio Coello Coello, Lamjed Ben Said

Summary: Discretization-based feature selection methods have a drawback of deleting important features during the encoding process. To address this issue, a bilevel optimization algorithm called Bi-DFS is proposed, which performs feature selection at the upper level and discretization at the lower level. Experimental results demonstrate that Bi-DFS outperforms existing methods in terms of classification accuracy, generalization ability, and feature selection bias.

Summary: Fuzzy systems are widely used due to their robust, accurate, and easy-to-evaluate models that capture real-world uncertainty better than classical alternatives. This study proposes a new methodology for tuning fuzzy models using optimization techniques, resulting in better performance than existing strategies. By considering symmetry and equispacing, the membership functions are simplified, and a gradient descent method is used for optimization. The proposed strategy outperforms other methods, achieving at least 28% improvement in performance across all case studies in terms of RMSE.
