Trainin MLP Neural Networks for Identification of a Small Power System: Comparison of PSO and Backpropagation, Yamille Del Valle

Abstract

Backpropagation algorithm is the most commonly used algorithm for training artificial neural networks. While being a straightforward procedure, it suffers from extensive computations, relatively slow convergence speed and possible divergence for certain conditions. The efficiency of this method as the training algorithm of a Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPN) is compared with that of Particle Swarm Optimization, for neural network based identification of a small power system with a Static Compensator. The comparison of the two methods is based on the convergence speed and robustness of each method.
