Summary: This study proposes a novel algorithm that combines global and local search strategies to address the challenge of multiple disconnected regions in the search space. The algorithm achieves competitive results with only hundreds of function evaluations and can handle mixed-variable optimization problems. The global module uses hybrid evolutionary operators and a Gower distance based surrogate model, while the local module performs competitive switching in different local regions and improves evaluation accuracy with local surrogate models. The algorithm is demonstrated to be effective through artificial benchmark tests and convolutional neural network hyperparameter optimization problems.

Summary: This study proposes a smart fault detection method (FDM) for microgrids (MGs) based on the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) and deep neural networks (DNNs). The method aims to rapidly detect fault type, phase, and location data to protect MGs and restore services. The approach preprocesses branch current measurements using HHT and extracts features using singular value decomposition (SVD) for input to DNNs. Compared to previous studies, this method achieves higher fault-type identification accuracy and can determine new fault locations. Evaluation on IEEE 34-bus and MG systems demonstrates its effectiveness in terms of detection precision, computing time, and robustness to measurement uncertainties.

Summary: The study aims to predict solar energy generation in order to ensure the successful operation of solar power plants. Multiple linear regression and feature selection techniques are used to calculate energy generation, while long short-term memory (LSTM) is used to predict energy generation levels based on climate conditions. The results show that temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and vapor pressure deficit are the most significant parameters for predicting energy generation. The LSTM method proves to be highly accurate in predicting fluctuating energy generation patterns.
