The standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, existing improvements and their influence to the performance of standard PSO are introduced. The framework of PSO basic formula is analyzed. Implied by its three-term structure, the inherent shortcoming that trends to local optima is indicated. Then a modified velocity updating formula of particle swarm optimization algorithm is declared. The addition of the disturbance term based on existing structure effectively mends the defects. The convergence of the improved algorithm is analyzed. Simulation results demonstrated that the improved algorithm have a better performance than the standard one.
