ABSTRACT In this paper a proposed Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO) technique has been investigated for obtaining an accurate simulation of the non-uniform electric field represented by needle-to-plane gap configuration. The needle electrode connected to the high voltage (HV) terminal while the earthed terminal connected to the plane electrode. In addition to the non-uniformity of the field, a transverse dielectric barrier has been presented and investigated along the gap with different thickness and location. The MFO works to optimize the error given by a numerical equation published before for calculating this field problem in the presence of a transverse barrier. This numerical equation was based on a correction coefficient called (𝛽𝛽), which is depended on three values; relative permittivity, barrier location and barrier thickness. The MFO is working to minimize the error given by 𝛽𝛽 using two new optimization factors in the 𝛽𝛽 equation. To ensure the accurate validation of MFO with minimum error for field problem simulation, various Artificial Intelligence (AI) optimization techniques have been compared with the MFO obtained results. The comparative study shows that MFO is more effective, especially at 30 % of the gap length from the HV electrode which represents the region of highly non-uniform field along the gap configuration. The numerical results of the field simulation that held by different types of AI techniques are compared with those obtained from accurate simulation results using Finite Element Method (FEM). The value of the error between the numerical and simulation results shows that MFO is the most effective optimization techniques that can be used in the numerical equation to obtain the best value of the correction factor. With MFO a good agreement has been reached between the proposed numerical equation and the accurate simulation values of the electric field problem.

I. INTRODUCTION

Recently we succeeded in finding an equation to simulate the non-uniform electric field in the presence of a transverse barrier [1]. However, there was an error between the calculated field from the proposed equation and the simulated one using finite element method (FEM). Therefore, a correction factor called (𝛽𝛽) was proposed by [1] for correcting this equation. This factor was based on three variables i.e., relative permittivity, barrier location and barrier thickness. Although 𝛽𝛽 was assumed, there was an error in the calculated value of the field especially near the high voltage electrode. So, the needing of artificial

intelligence (AI) has been raised to optimize the error given by 𝛽𝛽. The using of AI applications in the electrical power system, especially in the fault diagnosis have been raised recently [2]. In addition, AI optimization techniques are widely used in solving non-uniform field problems especially at high voltage (HV) applications [3]. One of the most non-uniform field problems in the HV is the using of the transverse layer of a Dielectric Barrier (DB) in the field gap configuration [1, 4-5]. In recent years the air gap field strength is increased by inserting DB at optimum location between the HV electrodes. This enhance the air gap field characteristics 1

without abolishing demand on environmental effect and preserving cost efficiency. The challenge now for the researchers in the using of the DB in the gap configuration is to select the suitable position, dielectric type and thickness of the DB. The optimum selection prevents the arc discharge and increases the value of the field that required for breakdown conditions [4-10]. Several experimental investigations were introduced by other for determining the optimum characteristics of DB. Also, the effect of DB on the electric field distribution in case of high impulse, DC and AC voltage [11-13]. In addition, different mathematical models were presented to describe the field distribution in the case of the existence of DB in the field gap [4, 5, and 14]. A new mathematical equation for simulating the non-uniform field in the case of using DB along the gap configuration was given by [1]. But the maximum error from this equation reaches 2.74 percent, especially at the 30 percent of the gap length from the HV electrode. Despite the use of a coefficient to reduce error, this coefficient called correction factor 𝛽𝛽 [1]. The error was estimated by comparing the proposed numerical equations with accurate simulation of the field problems using Laplace’s or Poisson’s equations. Different simulation techniques utilizing for this target such as, charge simulation methods (CSM) [3, 5, 10, 15], and FEM [1, 4, 1617]. Different AI optimization techniques are used for the high voltage field problems. The advantage of AI is to obtain accurate field computation with minimum error. The most popular optimization technique in the HV application is the genetic algorithm (GA) [3, 10, 18]. But, the new techniques such as; MFO did not use as a widely technique in the HV applications. GA is the first stochastic optimization algorithm, was introduced by Jon Holland in 1960 [19] and proposed to mitigate the drawbacks of the traditional mathematical algorithms. GA was developed based on Darwinian Theory and the natural process of reproduction behavior. The MFO algorithm is an evolutionary based algorithm developed by Seydali-Mirjilil in 2015 [20]. The idea of this algorithm depends on modeling the spiral flying of moths around moon light. MFO algorithm is a global optimization algorithm to determine the fitness variation with no need to use mathematical procedures [20-24]. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population technique which introduced by motivating the social movement of bird flocks or fish school searching for food by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995 [25]. In PSO algorithm, Swarm (particle) flies in a wide search space. During flight, each particle follows its track in the search domain associated with the best position VOLUME XX, 2017

(P𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 ) visited so far from its previous memory. Also, track the nearest particle to the food (G𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 ), the best particle among all the particles. Finally, is the step size for a particle that attempts to move in next turn determined by flight velocities [3]. This paper presents a new approach for simulating the nonuniform field in the presence of DB. The new approach using MFO technique to achieve the accurate simulation of the field problem. MFO technique utilizes to minimize the error obtained from the correction factor 𝛽𝛽 that presented by [1] for solving this field problem. To assess the accuracy of MFO it has compared with different AI optimization techniques that have been used for solving the same problem. The obtained results of the different types of AI have been compared with those obtained from FEM simulation for the same problem. The error has been investigated along the field gap configuration, especially at 30 percent of the gap length. The estimated error between the numerical and simulation proved that, MFO is the most effective techniques compared with other AI such as GA and PSO that can be used for minimizing the error of the correction factor. II. NUMERICAL EQUATION OF THE FIELD PROBLEM A. FIELD CALCULATION PROBLEM

So, the electric field, along the gap, 𝐸𝐸𝑔𝑔 , in the presence of DB can be calculated by the equation given by [1] as; 1 𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟2 𝜎𝜎1 𝑧𝑧1 𝑧𝑧1 𝐸𝐸𝑔𝑔 = 𝛽𝛽 �𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚. − 𝐸𝐸𝑛𝑛 � − 1� �1 − � �1 − �� (1) 2 2 2 𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟1 𝜎𝜎2 𝑧𝑧 �𝑅𝑅 + 𝑧𝑧1

where, 𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚. is the maximum value of the electric field without the DB, 𝐸𝐸n is the normal field component at the interference between air and DB, 𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟1 is the relative permittivity of air, 𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟2 is the relative permittivity of the DB, 𝜎𝜎1 is the electrical conductivity of air, and 𝜎𝜎2 is the electrical conductivity of the DB, 𝑧𝑧1 is the gap between the HV electrode and the DB, 𝑅𝑅 represents the radius of the DB, 𝑧𝑧 is the total gap length from rod to plate, and 𝑧𝑧2 represents the thickness of the DB, see Fig. 1. The value of the maximum percentage error of this equation when compared with an accurate simulation model was 2.74 % . This value of error obtained at the non-uniform field region (30 % of the gap length). Although this error can be accepted in the highly non-uniform field, but it can be minimized using AI optimization techniques. The main target of this research is to indicate the best optimization technique that can obtain the minimum percentage error for accurate numerical equation. B. PROPOSED OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE

To achieve accurate simulation of field problem, the equation of the correction factor rearranges in terms of two factors 𝑓𝑓1 and 𝑓𝑓2 . The first factor 𝑓𝑓1 is used to control the gap spacing with respect to the DB position and the second factor 𝑓𝑓2 is used to control the DB thickness. 𝑓𝑓2 𝑧𝑧2 𝛽𝛽 = �1 + � (3) (𝜀𝜀𝑟𝑟2 + 2) × 𝑓𝑓1 𝑧𝑧1

The inequality constraints of this problem are the factors lower and upper bounds: 0 ≤ 𝑓𝑓1 ≤ 1 & 0 ≤ 𝑓𝑓2 ≤ 1 The problem now is to determine the optimal values of the two factors for minimum error between 𝐸𝐸𝑔𝑔 , and the simulated one, 𝐸𝐸𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 The simulated value of the electric field, 𝐸𝐸𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 can be obtained in the concept of FEM using COMSOL Multiphysics software.

The problem is now customized to obtain the value of the two factors that satisfy minimum percentage error.

III. DIFFERENT OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES A. MOTH FLAME OPTIMIZATION

In this algorithm the candidate solutions are considered as moths, each moth [𝑓𝑓1 , 𝑓𝑓2 ] defined by its position in the search space. The best positions visited so fare over the course of iteration are called by flames; flames are the artificial lights in MFO algorithm. Moths move toward the flames to determine the objective value (% error according to Eqn. (4)) depending on their positions [20-24]. The MFO algorithm, see Fig. 2, is processed as follows: 1- Moths are initially generated randomly to spread out in the feasible search space. 2- Evaluate and sort fitness of all population 3- Flames equal to sorted population. 4- While iteration < 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚.iteration • The flame number can be determined according to the following equation: 𝑁𝑁 − 1 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁. = 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟(𝑁𝑁 − 𝑙𝑙 ∗ ) (5) 𝑇𝑇 𝑙𝑙, is the current iteration, 𝑁𝑁, is the maximum flames number, 𝑇𝑇, is the maximum number of iterations. • The distance, 𝐷𝐷𝑖𝑖 , between the 𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡ℎ moth (𝑀𝑀𝑖𝑖 ) with respect to its corresponding 𝑗𝑗𝑡𝑡ℎ flame (𝐹𝐹𝑗𝑗 ) can be obtained from, 𝐷𝐷𝑖𝑖 = �𝐹𝐹𝑗𝑗 − 𝑀𝑀𝑗𝑗 � (6) • Update the algorithm constant 𝑎𝑎 and 𝑡𝑡 −1 𝑎𝑎 = −1 + 𝑙𝑙 × � � 𝑇𝑇

B. PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

In PSO algorithm the candidate solutions are known as particles, each particle [𝑓𝑓1 , 𝑓𝑓2 ] defined by its position and flying velocity in the search domain. The best position obtained for each particle is represented as 𝑃𝑃𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 and the best position between all particles is called by 𝐺𝐺𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 . Particles move around 𝐺𝐺𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 to determine the objective value (% error according to Eqn. (4)) depending on their positions and velocities. The process of the PSO technique, see Fig. 3, is arranged as follows: 1- At initial, particles are generated at random positions 𝑋𝑋𝑖𝑖 and flight velocities 𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖 (is the step size for a particle that attempts to move in next turn) in the search domain. 2- The fitness value is evaluated for each particle in the current iteration. 3- Update the local and global best positions (𝑃𝑃𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 and 𝐺𝐺𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 ). 4- Update the inertia weight (𝑤𝑤) 𝑤𝑤 = 𝑤𝑤𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −

where, 𝑤𝑤𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 , 𝑤𝑤𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 are the final and initial weights` 5- The position and speed of each particle are updated according to the following equations. 𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖𝑘𝑘+1 = 𝑤𝑤𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖𝑘𝑘 + 𝑐𝑐1 𝑟𝑟1 �(𝑃𝑃𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 )𝑘𝑘𝑖𝑖 − 𝑋𝑋𝑖𝑖𝑘𝑘 � + 𝑐𝑐2 𝑟𝑟2 �(𝐺𝐺𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 )𝑘𝑘𝑖𝑖 − 𝑋𝑋𝑖𝑖𝑘𝑘 �

where, is the velocity of individual 𝑖𝑖 at iteration 𝑘𝑘, 𝑐𝑐1 , 𝑐𝑐2 are the acceleration coefficients, 𝑟𝑟1 and 𝑟𝑟2 are the random numbers given between 0 and 1, 𝑋𝑋𝑖𝑖𝑘𝑘 is the position of individual 𝑖𝑖 at iteration 𝑘𝑘, (𝑃𝑃𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 )𝑘𝑘𝑖𝑖 is the best position of individual 𝑖𝑖 at iteration 𝑘𝑘, and (𝐺𝐺𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 )𝑘𝑘𝑖𝑖 is the best position of the group until iteration 𝑘𝑘 6- Check the stopping criteria.

In this algorithm, a large value of the inertia weight at the beginning allows particles to move around the search space and emphasizes exploration and then gradually decreased in inertia rate force particles move toward best points instead of moving towards the population best prematurely. C. GENETIC ALGORITHM

The stochastic components of this algorithm are the selection, re-production, and mutation which are the reasons behind the successes of GA and avoiding local minimum stagnation due to the ability of selection and reproduction of best chromosomes (individuals) [3]. 9

Fitness Function (% error)

To achieve accuracy the maximum values of error obtained by MFO compared with that obtained by PSO and GA see Table II. From the results in Table II the MFO provides the minimum values for error and error reaches to zero values in almost cases, so that the MFO algorithm is the most effective algorithm among the previous optimization techniques. The numerical results in Table II show that The MFO algorithm has the ability to find an initial point in the search domain and improve it to converge to the global minimum, so it is still the best choice for obtaining the optimal factors (𝑓𝑓1 and 𝑓𝑓2 ) corresponding to the minimum values of error for different barrier thickness and position in the gap.

Figures 19 to 22 show the contour distribution of electric field in the air gap of rod to plane arrangement with a polycarbonate barrier with 1mm thickness at (5, 10, 20, and 30 %) of the air gap from HV rod respectively. It is clearly shown that the presence of dielectric barrier in the rod-plane gap change the electric field distribution in the gap. Also, the maximum electric field is increased on rod tip and for a small distance around it by moving the dielectric barrier toward HV rod. Figures 23 to 26 show the contour distribution of electric field in the air gap of rod to plane arrangement with a polycarbonate barrier with 3𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 thickness at (5, 10, 20, and 30 %) of the air gap from HV rod respectively. Besides, the changing of electric field distribution and increasing of maximum field values on rod tip and around it by positioning barrier near to the HV rod. The maximum field values are increased also by increasing barrier thickness. Figures 27 to 31 show the contour distribution of electric field in the air gap of rod to plane arrangement with a polycarbonate barrier with 5𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 thickness at (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %) of the air gap from HV rod respectively. Figures from 19 to 31 investigate the contour distribution lines of the electric field simulation along the air gap of needle-to-plane configuration with a polycarbonate barrier. It is clearly shown that the presence of dielectric barrier in the rod-plane gap affect the electric field distribution along the gap. Also, the maximum electric field is increased on the HV electrode tip. In addition to non-uniformity of the electric field distribution between DB and plane gap configuration. The maximum value of electric field increased by increasing the barrier thickness and moving DB toward HV electrode.

In this paper, a metaheuristic optimization algorithm inspired from spiral moths flying around the moonlight has been investigated for solving a field problem. The non-linear field problem is more complicated in case of non-uniform electric field in addition to the presence of transverse DB. The nonuniform field arises from using needle-to-plane configuration. In addition to the non-uniformity of the field causing by the existing of the transverse layer of the DB across the gap. The new metaheuristic optimization algorithm called MFO proved its efficiency to obtain the optimum solution for the field simulation with minimum error. After accurate investigation by using MFO the following points can be illustrated: • With MFO a good agreement has been reached between the proposed numerical equation after minimizing its error using MFO, and the accurate simulation of the electric field distribution in the presence of DB. • MFO algorithm proved its effectiveness in solving non-uniform electric field problems, especially that are more complicated, such as using different barrier thickness and positions along the field gap. • Minimizing error using MFO in case of the thin barrier which extend to be limited by barrier position in the first 30% of the air gap for which the maximum percent error reaches to 0.74% and vice versa for the thick barrier the error is optimized using MFO for all barrier positions and reached zero% in most of the first 40% of the air gap. • Stagnation of PSO in local minimum is highly obvious from the results, but for MFO and GA reached easily with global minimum. • A comprehensive comparative study was conducted approved that MFO is the most efficient approach for minimizing error in the present field problem.
