Abstract

This paper presents an Improved Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (ISPEA2), which introduces a penalty factor in objective function constraints, uses adaptive crossover and a mutation operator in the evolutionary process, and combines simulated annealing iterative process over SPEA2. The testing result of ISPEA2 by authoritative testing functions meets the requirement of Petro-optimum fronts. The case study result shows that the proposed algorithm provides a rapid convergence in obtaining Pareto-optimal solutions during the calculation process of evolution. Based on the fuzzy set theory, ISPEA2 is able to solve the multi-objective problems in the IEEE 33-bus system, and its validity and practicality are demonstrated by the utilization on DG's economic dispatch and optimal operation in the field of power industry.
