Network reconfiguration of the shipboard power system based on logistic function particle swarm optimization

A sort of annealing particle swarm optimization algorithm based on logistic function is proposed to deal with the problem of shipboard power system network reconfiguration. In this algorithm, part of the particle swarm is annealed based on the character of the logistic function. This method can solve the problem of local minimum of the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm effectively. The efficiency of the algorithm is improved; at the same time the computation time is well controlled. Shipboard power system network reconfiguration tests show that better service restoration can be provided by this method, which possesses strong convergence capability.
