The amount of capacitors added and location of deployment in the system highly determine the advantage of compensation. A novel global harmony search(GHS) algorithm in parallel with the backward/ forward sweep power flow technique and radial harmonic power flow was used to investigate the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors in radial distribution networks for minimizing power loss and total cost by taking account load unbalancing, mutual coupling and harmonics. The optimal capacitor placement outcomes show that the GHS algorithm can reduce total power losses up to 60 k W and leads to more than 18% of cost saving. The results also demonstrate that the GHS algorithm is more effective in minimization of power loss and total costs compared with genetic algorithm(GA), particle swarm optimization(PSO) and harmony search(HS) algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm converges within 800 iterations and is faster in terms of computational time and gives better performance in finding optimal capacitor location and size compared with other optimization techniques.展开更多

In this algorithm, coordinate space is assumed to be the space that is full of media with different refractivities, then the space is divided by grids, and finally the searching path is assumed to be the propagation path of light rays. With the law of refraction, the search direction is deflected to the direction that makes the value of objective function decrease. With the law of reflection, the search direction is changed, which makes the search continue when it cannot keep going with refraction. Only the function values of objective problems are used and there is no artificial rule in light ray optimization, so it is simple and easy to realize. Theoretical analysis and the results of numerical experiments show that the algorithm is feasible and effective.展开更多

A set of reasonable inversion parameters and subdivision scheme can, not only improve the inversion process efficiency, but also ensure inversion result accuracy. The gravity inversion method based on correlation searching and the golden section algorithm is an effective potential field inversion method. It can be used to invert 2D and 3D physical properties with potential data observed on flat or rough surfaces. In this paper, we introduce in detail the density inversion principles based on correlation searching and the golden section algorithm. Considering that the gold section algorithm is not globally optimized. we present a heuristic method to ensure the inversion result is globally optimized. With a series of model tests, we systematically compare and analyze the inversion result efficiency and accuracy with different parameters. Based on the model test results, we conclude the selection principles for each inversion parameter with which the inversion accuracy can be obviously improved.展开更多

The proposed SOA is based on simulating the act of human searching. In the SOA, search direction is based on empir- ical gradients by evaluating the response to the position changes, while step length is based on uncertainty reasoning by using a simple fuzzy rule. The effectiveness of the SOA is evaluated by using a challenging set of typically complex functions in compari- son to differential evolution （DE） and three modified particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithms. The simulation results show that the performance of the SOA is superior or comparable to that of the other algorithms.展开更多

Relatively few MOEAs can possess global search ability contenting with intensified search in a local area. Moreover, the overall searching ability of tabu search （TS） based MOEAs is very sensitive to the neighborhood step size. The NPTSGA is developed on the thought of integrating the genetic algorithm （GA） with a TS based MOEA, the niched Pareto tabu search （NPTS）, which helps to alleviate both of the above difficulties. Here, the global search ability of the NPTS is improved by the diversification of candidate solutions arising from the evolving genetic algorithm population. Furthermore, the proposed methodology coupled with a density-dependent groundwater flow and solute transport simulator, SEAWAT, is developed and its performance is evaluated through a synthetic seawater intrusion management problem. Optimization results indicate that the NPTSGA offers a tradeoff between the two conflicting objectives. A key conclusion of this study is that the NPTSGA keeps the balance between the intensification of nondomination and the diversification of near Pareto-optimal solutions along the tradeoff curves and is a stable and robust method for implementing the multi-objective design of variable-density groundwater resources.展开更多

The accurate prediction for the state of health(SOH) has an important role in maintaining a safe and stable operation of lithium-ion batteries. To address the problems of uncertain battery discharge conditions and low SOH estimation accuracy in practical applications, this paper proposes a SOH estimation method based on constant-current battery charging section characteristics with a back-propagation neural network with an improved atom search optimization algorithm. A temperature characteristic, equal-time temperature variation(Dt_DT), is proposed by analyzing the temperature data of the battery charging section with the incremental capacity(IC) characteristics obtained from an IC analysis as an input to the data-driven prediction model. Testing and analysis of the proposed prediction model are carried out using publicly available datasets. Experimental results show that the maximum error of SOH estimation results for the proposed method in this paper is below 1.5%.展开更多

文摘A novel heuristic search algorithm called seeker op- timization algorithm （SOA） is proposed for the real-parameter optimization. The proposed SOA is based on simulating the act of human searching. In the SOA, search direction is based on empir- ical gradients by evaluating the response to the position changes, while step length is based on uncertainty reasoning by using a simple fuzzy rule. The effectiveness of the SOA is evaluated by using a challenging set of typically complex functions in compari- son to differential evolution （DE） and three modified particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithms. The simulation results show that the performance of the SOA is superior or comparable to that of the other algorithms.
文摘This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm called Fractional-order Particle Swarm optimization Gravitational Search Algorithm(FPSOGSA)and applies it to the trajectory planning of the hypersonic lifting reentry flight vehicles.The proposed method is used to calculate the control profiles to achieve the two objectives,namely a smoother trajectory and enforcement of the path constraints with terminal accuracy.The smoothness of the trajectory is achieved by scheduling the bank angle with the aid of a modified scheme known as a Quasi-Equilibrium Glide(QEG)scheme.The aerodynamic load factor and the dynamic pressure path constraints are enforced by further planning of the bank angle with the help of a constraint enforcement scheme.The maximum heating rate path constraint is enforced through the angle of attack parameterization.The Common Aero Vehicle(CAV)flight vehicle is used for the simulation purpose to test and compare the proposed method with that of the standard Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)method and the standard Gravitational Search Algorithm(GSA).The simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed FPSOGSA method over the standard PSO and the GSA methods by showing its better convergence and computation efficiency.

文摘In this paper, a new hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm （MOEA）, the niched Pareto tabu search combined with a genetic algorithm （NPTSGA）, is proposed for the management of groundwater resources under variable density conditions. Relatively few MOEAs can possess global search ability contenting with intensified search in a local area. Moreover, the overall searching ability of tabu search （TS） based MOEAs is very sensitive to the neighborhood step size. The NPTSGA is developed on the thought of integrating the genetic algorithm （GA） with a TS based MOEA, the niched Pareto tabu search （NPTS）, which helps to alleviate both of the above difficulties. Here, the global search ability of the NPTS is improved by the diversification of candidate solutions arising from the evolving genetic algorithm population. Furthermore, the proposed methodology coupled with a density-dependent groundwater flow and solute transport simulator, SEAWAT, is developed and its performance is evaluated through a synthetic seawater intrusion management problem. Optimization results indicate that the NPTSGA offers a tradeoff between the two conflicting objectives. A key conclusion of this study is that the NPTSGA keeps the balance between the intensification of nondomination and the diversification of near Pareto-optimal solutions along the tradeoff curves and is a stable and robust method for implementing the multi-objective design of variable-density groundwater resources.

文摘Well production optimization is a complex and time-consuming task in the oilfield development.The combination of reservoir numerical simulator with optimization algorithms is usually used to optimize well production.This method spends most of computing time in objective function evaluation by reservoir numerical simulator which limits its optimization efficiency.To improve optimization efficiency,a well production optimization method using streamline features-based objective function and Bayesian adaptive direct search optimization(BADS)algorithm is established.This new objective function,which represents the water flooding potential,is extracted from streamline features.It only needs to call the streamline simulator to run one time step,instead of calling the simulator to calculate the target value at the end of development,which greatly reduces the running time of the simulator.Then the well production optimization model is established and solved by the BADS algorithm.The feasibility of the new objective function and the efficiency of this optimization method are verified by three examples.Results demonstrate that the new objective function is positively correlated with the cumulative oil production.And the BADS algorithm is superior to other common algorithms in convergence speed,solution stability and optimization accuracy.Besides,this method can significantly accelerate the speed of well production optimization process compared with the objective function calculated by other conventional methods.It can provide a more effective basis for determining the optimal well production for actual oilfield development.

文摘The recently proposed Cuckoo search algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm based on probability. It surpasses other algorithms in solving the multi-modal discontinuous and nonlinear problems. Searches made by it are very efficient because it adopts Levy flight to carry out random walks. This paper proposes an improved version of cuckoo search for multi-objective problems（IMOCS）. Combined with nondominated sorting, crowding distance and Levy flights, elitism strategy is applied to improve the algorithm. Then numerical studies are conducted to compare the algorithm with DEMO and NSGA-II against some benchmark test functions. Result shows that our improved cuckoo search algorithm convergences rapidly and performs efficienly.

文摘With the rapid development of new energy technologies, lithium batteries are widely used in the field of energy storage systems and electric vehicles. The accurate prediction for the state of health(SOH) has an important role in maintaining a safe and stable operation of lithium-ion batteries. To address the problems of uncertain battery discharge conditions and low SOH estimation accuracy in practical applications, this paper proposes a SOH estimation method based on constant-current battery charging section characteristics with a back-propagation neural network with an improved atom search optimization algorithm. A temperature characteristic, equal-time temperature variation(Dt_DT), is proposed by analyzing the temperature data of the battery charging section with the incremental capacity(IC) characteristics obtained from an IC analysis as an input to the data-driven prediction model. Testing and analysis of the proposed prediction model are carried out using publicly available datasets. Experimental results show that the maximum error of SOH estimation results for the proposed method in this paper is below 1.5%.
