Due to finding solution which is closer to realistic characteristics, load forecasting, market price errors and the uncertainties related to the variable output power of wind based DG units are put in consideration.

Therefore, the proposed methodology improves power quality, reliability and security in lower costs besides its preserve, with the operational indices of power distribution networks in acceptable level. To validate the proposed methodology's usefulness, it was applied on the IEEE 33-bus distribution system then the outcomes were compared with initial configuration.展开更多

Multi-objective synthesis is based on the need of flight mission and subjectivity inclination of decision-maker. The decision-maker, however, has illegibility for under- standing the requirements of multiple objectives and the subjectivity inclination. It is important to develop a reasonable cost performance index for describing the illegibility of the decision-maker in multi-objective path planning. Based on Voronoi dia- gram method for the path planning, this paper studies the synthesis method of the multi-objective cost performance index. Ac- cording to the application of the cost performance index to the path planning based on Voronoi diagram method, this paper ana- lyzes the cost performance index which has been referred to at present. The analysis shows the insufficiency of the cost per- formance index at present, i.e., it is difficult to synthesize sub-objective flmctions because of the great disparity of the sub-objective fimctions. Thus, a new approach is developed to optimize the cost performance index with the multi-objective fuzzy optimization strategy, and an improved performance index is established, which could coordinate the weight conflict of the sub-objective functions. Finally, the experimental result shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

The validity and performance of the proposed method are verified by extensive numerical simulations that include several types of point target distributions.展开更多

文摘Cobalt phosphide has been successfully used as a catalyst in the production of ammonia from nitric acid.Substituting appropriate atoms is expected to further improve its catalytic performance.Owing to the diversity of substituting elements,substitution sites,adsorption sites,and adsorption configurations,extensive time-consuming simulation calculations are required for the high-throughput screening method.Additionally,multi-objective attributes should be considered simultaneously in catalytic design.To tackle this challenge,this paper suggests a multi-objective cobalt phosphide catalytic material design method based on surrogate models.And the effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through comparative experiments.The proposed method led to the discovery of fifteen promising cobalt phosphide catalyst configurations.This study provides a new avenue for expediting the design of catalyst,with the potential for application in other systems.

文摘This study proposes a multi-objective optimization framework for electric winches in fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP)fishing vessels to address critical limitations of conventional designs,including excessive weight,material inefficiency,and performance redundancy.By integrating surrogate modeling techniques with a multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA),we have developed a systematic approach that encompasses parametric modeling,finite element analysis under extreme operational conditions,and multi-fidelity performance evaluation.Through a 10-t electric winch case study,the methodology’s effectiveness is demonstrated via parametric characterization of structural integrity,stiffness behavior,and mass distribution.The comparative analysis identified optimal surrogate models for predicting key performance metrics,which enabled the construction of a robust multi-objective optimization model.The MOGA-derived Pareto solutions produced a design configuration achieving 7.86%mass reduction,2.01%safety factor improvement,and 23.97%deformation mitigation.Verification analysis confirmed the optimization scheme’s reliability in balancing conflicting design requirements.This research establishes a generalized framework for marine deck machinery modernization,particularly addressing the structural compatibility challenges in FRP vessel retrofitting.The proposed methodology demonstrates significant potential for facilitating sustainable upgrades of fishing vessel equipment through systematic performance optimization.
文摘The rapid and increasing growth in the volume and number of cyber threats from malware is not a real danger;the real threat lies in the obfuscation of these cyberattacks,as they constantly change their behavior,making detection more difficult.Numerous researchers and developers have devoted considerable attention to this topic;however,the research field has not yet been fully saturated with high-quality studies that address these problems.For this reason,this paper presents a novel multi-objective Markov-enhanced adaptive whale optimization(MOMEAWO)cybersecurity model to improve the classification of binary and multi-class malware threats through the proposed MOMEAWO approach.The proposed MOMEAWO cybersecurity model aims to provide an innovative solution for analyzing,detecting,and classifying the behavior of obfuscated malware within their respective families.The proposed model includes three classification types:Binary classification and multi-class classification(e.g.,four families and 16 malware families).To evaluate the performance of this model,we used a recently published dataset called the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity Malware Memory Analysis(CIC-MalMem-2022)that contains balanced data.The results show near-perfect accuracy in binary classification and high accuracy in multi-class classification compared with related work using the same dataset.
文摘BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is one of the most effective treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease.However,many regions face low deceased donor rates and limited ABO-compatible transplant availability,which increases reliance on living donors.These regional challenges necessitate the implementation of kidney paired donation(KPD)programs to overcome incompatibilities such as ABO mismatch or positive cross-matching,even when suitable and willing donors are available.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of a single-center domino KPD model in both operational planning and clinical management processes and to assess its impact on clinical outcomes.METHODS Between April 2020 and January 2024,we retrospectively evaluated patients enrolled in our center’s domino kidney transplantation program.Donor-recipient pairs unable to proceed due to ABO incompatibility or positive cross-matching with their own living donors were included.Donors and recipients were assessed based on blood group compatibility,HLA tissue typing,and negative cross-match results.A specialized computer algorithm grouped patients into three-way,fourway,and five-way chains.All surgical procedures were performed on the same day at a single center.RESULTS A total of 169 kidney transplants were performed,forming 52 domino chains.These domino KPD transplants accounted for a notable proportion of our center’s overall transplant activity,which included both living donor kidney transplants and deceased donor transplants.Among these chains,the primary reasons for participation were ABO incompatibility(74%),positive cross-matching(10%),and the desire to improve HLA mismatch(16%).Improved HLA mismatch profiles and high graft survival(96%at 1 year,92%at 3 years)and patient survival(98%at 1 year,94%at 3 years)rates were observed,as well as low acute rejection episodes.CONCLUSION The single-center domino KPD model enhanced transplant opportunities for incompatible donor-recipient pairs while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes.By providing a framework that addresses regional challenges,improves operational efficiency,and optimizes clinical management,this model offers actionable insights to reduce waiting lists and improve patient outcomes.
文摘During path planning, it is necessary to satisfy the requirements of multiple objectives. Multi-objective synthesis is based on the need of flight mission and subjectivity inclination of decision-maker. The decision-maker, however, has illegibility for under- standing the requirements of multiple objectives and the subjectivity inclination. It is important to develop a reasonable cost performance index for describing the illegibility of the decision-maker in multi-objective path planning. Based on Voronoi dia- gram method for the path planning, this paper studies the synthesis method of the multi-objective cost performance index. Ac- cording to the application of the cost performance index to the path planning based on Voronoi diagram method, this paper ana- lyzes the cost performance index which has been referred to at present. The analysis shows the insufficiency of the cost per- formance index at present, i.e., it is difficult to synthesize sub-objective flmctions because of the great disparity of the sub-objective fimctions. Thus, a new approach is developed to optimize the cost performance index with the multi-objective fuzzy optimization strategy, and an improved performance index is established, which could coordinate the weight conflict of the sub-objective functions. Finally, the experimental result shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

文摘Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)was introduced as a novel traffic device to collect road traffic information and its cruise route planning problem was considered.Firstly,a multi-objective optimization model was proposed aiming at minimizing the total cruise distance and the number of UAVs used,which used UAV maximum cruise distance,the number of UAVs available and time window of each monitored target as constraints.Then,a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm was proposed.Next,a case study with three time window scenarios was implemented.The results show that both the total cruise distance and the number of UAVs used continue to increase with the time window constraint becoming narrower.Compared with the initial optimal solutions,the optimal total cruise distance and the number of UAVs used fall by an average of 30.93% and 31.74%,respectively.Finally,some concerns using UAV to collect road traffic information were discussed.

文摘Robot manipulators perform a point-point task under kinematic and dynamic constraints.Due to multi-degreeof-freedom coupling characteristics,it is difficult to find a better desired trajectory.In this paper,a multi-objective trajectory planning approach based on an improved elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(INSGA-II)is proposed.Trajectory function is planned with a new composite polynomial that by combining of quintic polynomials with cubic Bezier curves.Then,an INSGA-II,by introducing three genetic operators:ranking group selection(RGS),direction-based crossover(DBX)and adaptive precision-controllable mutation(APCM),is developed to optimize travelling time and torque fluctuation.Inverted generational distance,hypervolume and optimizer overhead are selected to evaluate the convergence,diversity and computational effort of algorithms.The optimal solution is determined via fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to obtain the optimal trajectory.Taking a serial-parallel hybrid manipulator as instance,the velocity and acceleration profiles obtained using this composite polynomial are compared with those obtained using a quintic B-spline method.The effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method are verified by simulation results.This research proposes a trajectory optimization method which can offer a better solution with efficiency and stability for a point-to-point task of robot manipulators.

文摘In the past few decades, applications of geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites have attracted increasing attention, and with the development of optical technologies, GEO optical satellites have become popular worldwide. This paper proposes a general working pattern for a GEO optical satellite, as well as a target observation mission planning model. After analyzing the requirements of users and satellite control agencies, two objectives are simultaneously considered: maximization of total profit and minimization of satellite attitude maneuver angle. An NSGA-II based multi-objective optimization algorithm is proposed, which contains some heuristic principles in the initialization phase and mutation operator, and is embedded with a traveling salesman problem (TSP) optimization. The validity and performance of the proposed method are verified by extensive numerical simulations that include several types of point target distributions.

文摘Under the demand of strategic air traffic flow management and the concept of trajectory based operations（TBO）,the network-wide 4D flight trajectories planning（N4DFTP） problem has been investigated with the purpose of safely and efficiently allocating 4D trajectories（4DTs）（3D position and time） for all the flights in the whole airway network.Considering that the introduction of large-scale 4DTs inevitably increases the problem complexity,an efficient model for strategiclevel conflict management is developed in this paper.Specifically,a bi-objective N4 DFTP problem that aims to minimize both potential conflicts and the trajectory cost is formulated.In consideration of the large-scale,high-complexity,and multi-objective characteristics of the N4DFTP problem,a multi-objective multi-memetic algorithm（MOMMA） that incorporates an evolutionary global search framework together with three problem-specific local search operators is implemented.It is capable of rapidly and effectively allocating 4DTs via rerouting,target time controlling,and flight level changing.Additionally,to balance the ability of exploitation and exploration of the algorithm,a special hybridization scheme is adopted for the integration of local and global search.Empirical studies using real air traffic data in China with different network complexities show that the proposed MOMMA is effective to solve the N4 DFTP problem.The solutions achieved are competitive for elaborate decision support under a TBO environment.

文摘Homing trajectory planning is a core task of autonomous homing of parafoil system.This work analyzes and establishes a simplified kinematic mathematical model,and regards the homing trajectory planning problem as a kind of multi-objective optimization problem.Being different from traditional ways of transforming the multi-objective optimization into a single objective optimization by weighting factors,this work applies an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ(NSGA Ⅱ) to solve it directly by means of optimizing multi-objective functions simultaneously.In the improved NSGA Ⅱ,the chaos initialization and a crowding distance based population trimming method were introduced to overcome the prematurity of population,the penalty function was used in handling constraints,and the optimal solution was selected according to the method of fuzzy set theory.Simulation results of three different schemes designed according to various practical engineering requirements show that the improved NSGA Ⅱ can effectively obtain the Pareto optimal solution set under different weighting with outstanding convergence and stability,and provide a new train of thoughts to design homing trajectory of parafoil system.
