The aim of the present study is to improve the performance of a distribution network by successively applying mono-capacitor positioning, multiple positioning and reconfiguration processes using GA-based algorithms implemented in a Matlab environment. From the diagnostic study of this network, it was observed that a minimum voltage of 0.90 pu induces a voltage deviation of 5.26%, followed by active and reactive losses of 425.08 kW and 435.09 kVAR, respectively. Single placement with the NSGAII resulted in the placement of a 3000 kVAR capacitor at node 128, which proved to be the invariably neuralgic point. Multiple placements resulted in a 21.55% reduction in losses and a 0.74% regression in voltage profile performance. After topology optimization, the loss profile improved by 65.08% and the voltage profile improved by 1.05%. Genetic algorithms are efficient and effective tools for improving the performance of distribution networks, whose degradation is often dynamic due to the natural variability of loads.展开更多

An autonomous control reconfiguration scheme is presented for ASV to deal with the uncertainties on the base of control effectiveness estimation. The on-line estimation methods for the time-varying control effectiveness of linear control system are investigated. Some sufficient conditions for the estimable system are given for different cases. There are proposed corresponding on-line estimation algorithms which are proved to be convergent and robust to noise using the least-square-based methods. On the ground of fuzzy logic and linear programming, the control allocation algorithms, which are able to implement the autonomous control reconfiguration through the redundant actuators, are put forward. Finally, an integrated system is developed to verify the scheme and algorithms by way of numerical simulation and analysis.展开更多

The method contains three modules. First, the network in the evacuation zone is optimized by a model with the integrated strategy of lane reversal and intersection conflict elimination. Secondly, the dynamic evacuation simulation model based on the cell transmission model is applied to simulate the dynamic propagation process of evacuated vehicles in the network in the evacuation zone. The evacuation time for all evacuated vehicles leaving the danger zone is obtained and the setting of the current evacuation zone is fed back. Thirdly, the arrival distributions of evacuated vehicles at critical intersections of the evacuation zone are also obtained to estimate the delay at critical intersection to determine whether the intersection should be taken as the critical intersection in the next iteration. The evacuation zone is expanded gradually through iteration, and the reasonable evacuation zone and the optimal evacuation network is confirmed. Based on the survey of the parking lot and urban street network around Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, the models and the iterative algorithm were applied to obtain the optimal plan of the evacuation zone with network reconfiguration in an evacuation situation to verify the validity of the proposed method.展开更多

Initially used for evolving computer programs that can solve simple problems, genetic programming （GP） has been recently used to handle various kinds of problems in the area of complex systems. This paper details how genetic programming can be used as an automatic programming tool for handling reconfiguration-planning problem. To do so, the GP evolves sequences of basic operations which are required for transforming the robot＇s geometric structure from its initial configuration into the target one while the total number of modules and their connectedness are preserved. The proposed planner is intended for both Crystalline and TeleCube modules which are achieved by cubical compressible units. The target pattern of the modular robot is expressed in quantitative terms of morphogens diffused on the environment. Our work presents a solution for self recontlguration problem with restricted and unrestricted free space available to the robot during reconfiguration, The planner outputs a near optimal explicit sequence of low-level actions that allows modules to move relative to each other in order to form the desired shape.展开更多

Firstly,the multiple-model control structure is formed by several linear models and one fuzzy model. In the fuzzy logic way,weights of the multiple-model adaptive controller are obtained. Then,a dynamic structure adaptive neural network is introduced to stabilize the whole system and eliminate the influence caused by the frequent switching. Simulation results show that the control method is effective by demonstrating the normal flight process and the control simulation with failures.展开更多

For a short time reconfiguration, the two-impulse maneuver is investigated with both analytical and numerical methods and the Beginning-Ending （BE） method is proven to be an energy-optimal one of all two-impulse （TI） reconfigurations, and the energy consumption of BE is independent of the position of the chief spacecraft, and decreases with the reconfiguration time. Then, genetic algorithm is adopted to optimize the energy consumption. The results show that the optimal energy increases with radius difference between the initial and final orbits, and decreases with the reconfiguration time.展开更多

文摘To comprehensively utilize the low-iron high-vanadium-titanium magnetite,a new method of vortex smelting reduction of vanadium-titanium magnetite was proposed,and the enrichment and reconstitution regularity of Ti-bearing phases in the slag was investigated through X-ray fluorescence spectrometry,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction analysis,and optical microscopy.The phase diagram revealed that the preferential crystallization of MgTi_(2)O_(5) can be achieved by adjusting the CaO,MgO,and TiO_(2) contents of slag.The predominant Ti-bearing phases in the slag obtained from the reduction process are MgxTi_(3_x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)and CaTiO_(3).FeTiO_(3) is present at carbon-iron ratio(CR)=1.3,while MgTi_(2)O4 and TiC are formed at CR=1.3.The enrichment of TiO_(2) in the slag increases first and then decreases as the CR increases,and at CR=1.1,the enrichment of TiO_(2) in the slag reaches 51.3 wt.%.Additionally,the concentrations of MgxTi_(3_x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1)and CaTiO_(3) in the slag,along with the grain width of MgxTi_(3_x)O_(5)(0≤x≤1),decrease with the increase in CR.

文摘As the unmanned weap system-of systems(UWSoS)becomes complex,the inevitable uncertain interference gradu-ally increases,which leads to a strong emphasis on the resilience of UWSoS.Hence,this paper presents a resilience-driven cooperative reconfiguration strategy to enhance the resilience of UWSoS.First,a unified resilience-driven coopera-tive reconfiguration strategy framework is designed to guide the UWSoS resilience enhancement.Subsequently,a cooperative reconfiguration strategy algorithm is proposed to identify the optimal cooperative reconfiguration sequence,combining the cooperative pair resilience contribution index(CPRCI)and coop-erative pair importance index(CPII).At last,the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through various attack scenario simulations that include differ-ent attack modes and intensities.The analysis results can pro-vide a reference for decision-makers to manage UWSoS.

文摘In recent years,the large-scale grid connection of various distributed power sources has made the planning and operation of distribution grids increasingly complex.Consequently,a large number of active distribution network reconfiguration techniques have emerged to reduce system losses,improve system safety,and enhance power quality via switching switches to change the system topology while ensuring the radial structure of the network.While scholars have previously reviewed these methods,they all have obvious shortcomings,such as a lack of systematic integration of methods,vague classification,lack of constructive suggestions for future study,etc.Therefore,this paper attempts to provide a comprehensive and profound review of 52 methods and applications of active distribution network reconfiguration through systematic method classification and enumeration.Specifically,these methods are classified into five categories,i.e.,traditional methods,mathematical methods,meta-heuristic algorithms,machine learning methods,and hybrid methods.A thorough comparison of the various methods is also scored in terms of their practicality,complexity,number of switching actions,performance improvement,advantages,and disadvantages.Finally,four summaries and four future research prospects are presented.In summary,this paper aims to provide an up-to-date and well-rounded manual for subsequent researchers and scholars engaged in related fields.

文摘Future aerospace vehicles （ASV） are designed to fly in both inner and extra atmospheric fields, which requires autonomous adaptability to the uncertainties emanated from abrupt faults and continuously time-varying environments. An autonomous control reconfiguration scheme is presented for ASV to deal with the uncertainties on the base of control effectiveness estimation. The on-line estimation methods for the time-varying control effectiveness of linear control system are investigated. Some sufficient conditions for the estimable system are given for different cases. There are proposed corresponding on-line estimation algorithms which are proved to be convergent and robust to noise using the least-square-based methods. On the ground of fuzzy logic and linear programming, the control allocation algorithms, which are able to implement the autonomous control reconfiguration through the redundant actuators, are put forward. Finally, an integrated system is developed to verify the scheme and algorithms by way of numerical simulation and analysis.

文摘Abstract： With a determinate danger zone and evacuation demand caused by an emergency, an optimization method for the evacuation zone with network reconfiguration based on dynamic simulation is proposed. The method contains three modules. First, the network in the evacuation zone is optimized by a model with the integrated strategy of lane reversal and intersection conflict elimination. Secondly, the dynamic evacuation simulation model based on the cell transmission model is applied to simulate the dynamic propagation process of evacuated vehicles in the network in the evacuation zone. The evacuation time for all evacuated vehicles leaving the danger zone is obtained and the setting of the current evacuation zone is fed back. Thirdly, the arrival distributions of evacuated vehicles at critical intersections of the evacuation zone are also obtained to estimate the delay at critical intersection to determine whether the intersection should be taken as the critical intersection in the next iteration. The evacuation zone is expanded gradually through iteration, and the reasonable evacuation zone and the optimal evacuation network is confirmed. Based on the survey of the parking lot and urban street network around Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, the models and the iterative algorithm were applied to obtain the optimal plan of the evacuation zone with network reconfiguration in an evacuation situation to verify the validity of the proposed method.
文摘This paper presents a genetic programming based reconfiguration planner for metamorphic modular robots. Initially used for evolving computer programs that can solve simple problems, genetic programming （GP） has been recently used to handle various kinds of problems in the area of complex systems. This paper details how genetic programming can be used as an automatic programming tool for handling reconfiguration-planning problem. To do so, the GP evolves sequences of basic operations which are required for transforming the robot＇s geometric structure from its initial configuration into the target one while the total number of modules and their connectedness are preserved. The proposed planner is intended for both Crystalline and TeleCube modules which are achieved by cubical compressible units. The target pattern of the modular robot is expressed in quantitative terms of morphogens diffused on the environment. Our work presents a solution for self recontlguration problem with restricted and unrestricted free space available to the robot during reconfiguration, The planner outputs a near optimal explicit sequence of low-level actions that allows modules to move relative to each other in order to form the desired shape.

文摘Aimed at the complex flight control system of a fighter,a kind of robust adaptive control methods using multiple models is presented to make the control system track the given signal under different working conditions and to reconfigure the control law for some structural failures. Firstly,the multiple-model control structure is formed by several linear models and one fuzzy model. In the fuzzy logic way,weights of the multiple-model adaptive controller are obtained. Then,a dynamic structure adaptive neural network is introduced to stabilize the whole system and eliminate the influence caused by the frequent switching. Simulation results show that the control method is effective by demonstrating the normal flight process and the control simulation with failures.
文摘An efficient algorithm ESA combining evolution strategies(ES) with simulated annealing(SA) is proposed in this paper. We first use ES to choose an initial temperature, then use a modified SA to find a global optimum for the problem. An efficient load flow method and a heuristic criterion for determining the temperature lowering scheme are employed in order to speed up the computation. The solution algorithm has been tested on a distribution system with very promising results.

文摘Reconfiguration of formation flying around a halo orbit of the Sun-Earth restricted three body system is investigated with impulse maneuvers. For a short time reconfiguration, the two-impulse maneuver is investigated with both analytical and numerical methods and the Beginning-Ending （BE） method is proven to be an energy-optimal one of all two-impulse （TI） reconfigurations, and the energy consumption of BE is independent of the position of the chief spacecraft, and decreases with the reconfiguration time. Then, genetic algorithm is adopted to optimize the energy consumption. The results show that the optimal energy increases with radius difference between the initial and final orbits, and decreases with the reconfiguration time.

文摘Multiple UAVs are usually deployed to provide robustness through redundancy and to accomplish surveillance,search,attack and rescue missions.Formation reconfiguration was inevitable during the flight when the mission was adjusted or the environment varied.Taking the typical formation reconfiguration from a triangular penetrating formation to a circular tracking formation for example,a path planning method based on Dubins trajectory and particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm is presented in this paper.The mathematic model of multiple UAVs formation reconfiguration was built firstly.According to the kinematic model of aerial vehicles,a process of dimensionality reduction was carried out to simplify the model based on Dubins trajectory.The PSO algorithm was adopted to resolve the optimization problem of formation reconfiguration path planning.Finally,the simulation and vehicles flight experiment are executed.Results show that the path planning method based on the Dubins trajectory and the PSO algorithm can generate feasible paths for vehicles on time,to guarantee the rapidity and effectiveness of formation reconfigurations.Furthermore,from the simulation results,the method is universal and could be extended easily to the path planning problem for different kinds of formation reconfigurations.

文摘In order to accommodate the variety of algorithms with different performance in specific application and improve power efficiency,reconfigurable architecture has become an effective methodology in academia and industry.However,existing architectures suffer from performance bottleneck due to slow updating of contexts and inadequate flexibility.This paper presents an H-tree based reconfiguration mechanism(HRM)with Huffman-coding-like and mask addressing method in a homogeneous processing element(PE)array,which supports both programmable and data-driven modes.The proposed HRM can transfer reconfiguration instructions/contexts to a particular PE or associated PEs simultaneously in one clock cycle in unicast,multicast and broadcast mode,and shut down the unnecessary PE/PEs according to the current configuration.To verify the correctness and efficiency,we implement it in RTL synthesis and FPGA prototype.Compared to prior works,the experiment results show that the HRM has improved the work frequency by an average of 23.4%,increased the updating speed by 2×,and reduced the area by 36.9%;HRM can also power off the unnecessary PEs which reduced 51%of dynamic power dissipation in certain application configuration.Furthermore,in the data-driven mode,the system frequency can reach 214 MHz,which is 1.68×higher compared with the programmable mode.
