Abstract
This papers proposes an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with multi-objective optimization concepts to handle constraints, and operators to keep diversity and exploration. Our approach, PESDRO, is found robust at solving redundancy and reliability allocation problems with two objective functions: reliability and cost. The approach uses redundancy of components, diversity of suppliers, and incorporates a new concept called Distribution Optimization. The goal is the optimal design for reliability of coherent systems. The new technique is compared against algorithms representative of the state-of-the-art in the area by using a well-known benchmark. The experiments indicate that the proposed approach matches and often outperforms such methods.
