Implementación de algoritmos de Inteligencia Swarm con fines didácticos

Con este proyecto hemos querido proporcionar un conjunto de recursos útiles para la impartición de un curso de Swarm Intelligence enfocado a la Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Estos recursos constan de una aplicación en NetLogo para poder experimentar, ejecutar y visualizar los diferentes modelos de la PSO, un review de la Swarm Intelligence profundizando en la PSO y una ontología de PSO que incluye los recursos bibliográficos necesarios para la investigación y la escritura de artículos.

Pitch Based Wind Turbine Intelligent Speed Setpoint Adjustment Algorithms

This work is aimed at optimizing the wind turbine rotor speed setpoint algorithm. Several intelligent adjustment strategies have been investigated in order to improve a reward function that takes into account the power captured from the wind and the turbine speed error. After different approaches including Reinforcement Learning, the best results were obtained using a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based wind turbine speed setpoint algorithm. A reward improvement of up to 10.67% has been achieved using PSO compared to a constant approach and 0.48% compared to a conventional approach. We conclude that the pitch angle is the most adequate input variable for the turbine speed setpoint algorithm compared to others such as rotor speed, or rotor angular acceleration.
