A MULTISWARM COMPETITIVE PARTICLE SWARM ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMIZATION CONTROL OF AN ETHYLENE CRACKING FURNACE

A fuzzy C-means (FCM) multiswarm competitive particle swarm optimization (FCMCPSO) algorithm is proposed, in which FCM clustering is used to divide swarms adaptively into different clusters. The large-scale swarms are according to the standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, whereas the small-scale swarms search randomly in the neighborhood of the optimal solution to increase the probability of jumping out of the local optimization point. Within every cluster, the adaptive value gained by competitive learning is respectively found and arranged in order. Swarms of small adaptive value were integrated with the neighboring swarms of large adaptive value to search the optimal solution competitively by the swarms. The algorithm's validity was tested by benchmark functions and compared with other PSO algorithms. Furthermore, an integrated FCMCPSO-radial basis function neural network was studied for nonlinear system modeling and intelligent optimization control of cracking depth of an ethylene cracking furnace application in a chemical process.
