Multiagent and particle swarm optimization for ship integrated power system network reconfiguration

Abstract

Ship integrated power system adopts electric power propulsion. Power network and electric power network are integrated into complicated one. Network reconfiguration of ship integrated power system is a typical nonlinear optimization that is multitarget and multiconstraint. According to the characteristics of ship integrated power system, simplified network model and reconfiguration mathematical model are established. A multiagent and particle swarm optimization is presented to solve network reconfiguration problem. The results of simulation show that multiagent and particle swarm optimization can reconfigure ship integrated power system efficiently. © 2014 Zheng Wang et al.
