Shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is one of promising optimistic methods which are based on swarm intelligence. SFLA combines the advantages of memetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. It has been widely used to solve complex optimization problems in engineering fields. To enhance the convergence and effectiveness of local search process in SFLA, a novel individual update method is presented and the dynamic behaviors of local search are analyzed in detail. On the basis of the proposed approach, the modified SFLA is presented. Simulation experimental results show that the modified SFLA achieves more efficiency than the classical shuffled frog leaping algorithm.

Circuit breaker switching operation will generate transient voltage and inrush current. The synchronous switching control strategies research can effectively reduce the transient effect and improve power quality. The transient operation process of vacuum circuit breaker is analyzed by deriving the system voltage and current expressions when vacuum circuit breaker switching reactive compensation capacitor bank. The theory switching phases without transient transition process are obtained by referring to the voltage and current expression. The optimum switching capacitor banks phase and new synchronous switching control strategies of different connections capacitor bank are given by synthetically considering closing action time dispersion, pre-strike characteristic and opening arcing time of vacuum circuit breaker. The voltage and current waveforms when vacuum circuit breaker randomly, according to traditional and new synchronous switching strategies switching ungrounded Y capacitor banks connection are simulated in the article. Simulation results show that the inrush current under the new synchronous switching control strategies can be reduced 1.2p.u.and closing voltage has no oscillation transition process, that is, directly accesses to steady-state. So the theoretical analysis and synchronous switching control strategies in the article are verified correctly.

Digital image coding includes vector coding and scalar coding. Vector transform is an important content to realize image vector coding. According to the unequal dimension between the input matrix and output matrix in the classic transform, a fast vector transform with equal dimension is deduced. The computational efficiency and the transform performance are analyzed, and the basic block of the fast vector transform implementation, the circuit diagram of a skew-rotation unit, is presented. The research can provide the theoretical and technical foundation for the vector transform.

Modern equipment is large structure and complex function with redundant components within the system. As a result, the complexity is increased when fault diagnosis and analysis model is set up. In order to reduce diagnosis model complexity, a method of directed fault propagation model and optimization is proposed. Fault relationship among the components is analyzed based on the probability and influence of fault propagation, the multiple fault modes and fault propagation relationship is also studied. The directed fault propagation graph model is optimized according to the fault influence factor on the basis of quantitative assessment, and redundant component within fault diagnosis model is cut, so the model is simplified, the computational process is reduced and the efficiency for fault diagnosis and analysis is improved. A practical model shows the validation of the model and optimization method.
