According to the nonlinear characteristics of ship motion, the four degrees of freedom nonlinear model of Fin/Rudder roll stabilization can be established. This paper analyzes energy consumption caused by overcoming the resistance and the yaw, which is added to the fin/rudder roll stabilization system as new performance index. In order to achieve the purpose of the roll reduction, ship course keeping and energy optimization, the self-tuning PID controller based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm （MOGA） method is used to optimize performance index. In addition, random weight coefficient is adopted to build a multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization model. The objective function is improved so that the objective function can be normalized to a constant level. Simulation results showed that the control method based on MOGA, compared with the traditional control method, not only improves the efficiency of roll stabilization and yaw control precision, but also optimizes the energy of the system. The proposed methodology can get a better performance at different sea states.展开更多

Specifically,under some circum-stances energy can even be produced and the water consumption can be reduced below the values required for the production of gasoline.展开更多

Moreover, thegeneration and consumption of electricity is irregular, which may bring about more unexpected imbalances. Therefore, it is a crucial issue to schedule the entire energy system by optimizing the operation of energy utilization, which includes the raw energy in the production system, the generation electricity in the cogeneration system and the recycled energy in these two systems. In this paper, an improved Linear Programming model for energy optimization in the integrated iron and steel plant with a cogeneration system is established. The improved model focuses on controlling the whole energy flow and scheduling the whole energy consumption in the entire energy system between the production system and cogeneration system through optimizing all kinds of energy distribution and utilization in an integrated iron and steel plant with a cogeneration system. Case study shows that the improved model offers the optimal operation conditions at the higher energy utilization, lower energy cost and lower pollution emissions.展开更多

However, there is so far no model that can predict power consumption of the future base station designs based on algorithms and hardware selections with insufficient physical information. We present such an energy model for typical base stations. This model can help designers in estimating, evaluating and optimizing energy/power consumption of candidate designs in early design stages. The proposed model is verified by an LTE extreme scenario. The estimated results show that digital front-end, channel equalization and channel decoding are three major power greedy modules(consuming 39.4%, 16.3%, 13.4%) in a digital baseband subsystem. The power estimation error of the proposed power amplifier(PA) power model is 3.5%(macro cell). The major contribution of this paper is that the proposed models can rapidly estimate energy/power consumption of 4G and the future base stations(such as 5G) in early design stages with well acceptable precision, even without sufficient implementation information.展开更多

SEC-PSO, which is designed with the concept of energy conservation, can solve the problem of premature convergence frequently appeared in standard PSO algorithm by partitioning its population into several sub-swarms according to the energy of the swarm and is used in the optimization strategy for parameter identification and operation condition optimization. The run-to-run optimization exploits the repetitive nature of fed-batch processes in order to deal with the optimal problems of fed-batch fermentation process with inaccurate process model and unsteady process state. The kinetic model parameters, used in the operation condition optimization of the next run, are adjusted by calculating time-series data obtained from real fed-batch process in the run-to-run optimization. The simulation results show that the strategy can adjust its kinetic model dynamically and overcome the instability of fed-batch process effectively. Run-to-run strategy with SEC-PSO provides an effective method for optimization of fed-batch fermentation process.展开更多

文摘This paper proposes a cost-optimal energy management strategy for reconfigurable distribution networks with high penetration of renewable generation.The proposed strategy accounts for renewable generation costs,maintenance and operating expenses of energy storage systems,diesel generator operational costs,typical daily load profiles,and power balance constraints.A penalty term for power backflow is incorporated into the objective function to discourage undesirable reverse flows.The Bald Eagle Search(BES)meta-heuristic is adopted to solve the resulting constrained optimization problem.Numerical simulations under multiple load scenarios demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces operating cost while preventing power backflow and maintaining secure operation of the distribution network.

文摘Persistent low temperatures in autumn and winter have a huge impact on crops,and greenhouses rely on solar radiation and heating equipment to meet the required indoor temperature.But the energy cost of frequent operation of the actuators is exceptionally high.The relationship between greenhouse environmental control accuracy and energy consumption is one of the key issues faced in greenhouse research.In this study,a non-linear model predictive control method with an improved objective function was proposed.The improved objective function used tolerance intervals and boundary constraints to optimize the objective evaluation.The nonlinear model predictive control(NMPC)controller design was based on the wavelet neural network(WNN)data-driven model and applied the interior point method to solve the optimal solution of the objective function control,thus balancing the contradiction between energy consumption and control precision.The simulation results showed that the improved NMPC method reduced energy consumption by 21.02%and 9.54%compared with the model predictive control and regular NMPC,which proved the method achieved good results in a low-temperature environment.This research can provide an important reference for the field as it offers a more efficient approach to managing greenhouse climates,potentially leading to substantial energy savings and enhanced sustainability in agricultural practices.

文摘Quadruped robots with body joints exhibit enhanced mobility,however,in outdoor environments,the energy that the robot can carry is limited,necessitating optimization of energy consumption to accomplish more tasks within these constraints.Inspired by quadruped animals,this paper proposes an energy-saving strategy for a body joint quadruped robot based on Central Pattern Generator(CPG)with multi-sensor fusion bio-reflexes.First,an energy consumption model for the robot is established,and energy characteristic tests are conducted under different gait parameters.Based on these energy characteristics,optimal energy-efficient gait parameters are determined for various environmental conditions.Second,biological reflex mechanisms are studied,and a motion control model based on multi-sensor fusion biological reflexes is established using CPG as the foundation.By integrating the reflex model and gait parameters,real-time adaptive adjustments to the robot’s motion gait are achieved on complex terrains,reducing energy loss caused by terrain disturbances.Finally,a prototype of the body joint quadruped robot is built for experimental verification.Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the robot’s Cost of Transport(COT)and significantly improves energy efficiency.The related research results can provide a useful reference for the research on energy efficiency of quadruped robots on complex terrain.

文摘Learning-based methods have become mainstream for solving residential energy scheduling problems. In order to improve the learning efficiency of existing methods and increase the utilization of renewable energy, we propose the Dyna actiondependent heuristic dynamic programming(Dyna-ADHDP)method, which incorporates the ideas of learning and planning from the Dyna framework in action-dependent heuristic dynamic programming. This method defines a continuous action space for precise control of an energy storage system and allows online optimization of algorithm performance during the real-time operation of the residential energy model. Meanwhile, the target network is introduced during the training process to make the training smoother and more efficient. We conducted experimental comparisons with the benchmark method using simulated and real data to verify its applicability and performance. The results confirm the method's excellent performance and generalization capabilities, as well as its excellence in increasing renewable energy utilization and extending equipment life.

文摘As mobile edge computing continues to develop,the demand for resource-intensive applications is steadily increasing,placing a significant strain on edge nodes.These nodes are normally subject to various constraints,for instance,limited processing capability,a few energy sources,and erratic availability being some of the common ones.Correspondingly,these problems require an effective task allocation algorithmto optimize the resources through continued high system performance and dependability in dynamic environments.This paper proposes an improved Particle Swarm Optimization technique,known as IPSO,for multi-objective optimization in edge computing to overcome these issues.To this end,the IPSO algorithm tries to make a trade-off between two important objectives,which are energy consumption minimization and task execution time reduction.Because of global optimal position mutation and dynamic adjustment to inertia weight,the proposed optimization algorithm can effectively distribute tasks among edge nodes.As a result,it reduces the execution time of tasks and energy consumption.In comparative assessments carried out by IPSO with benchmark methods such as Energy-aware Double-fitness Particle Swarm Optimization(EADPSO)and ICBA,IPSO provides better results than these algorithms.For the maximum task size,when compared with the benchmark methods,IPSO reduces the execution time by 17.1%and energy consumption by 31.58%.These results allow the conclusion that IPSO is an efficient and scalable technique for task allocation at the edge environment.It provides peak efficiency while handling scarce resources and variable workloads.

文摘In this paper we address the topic of energy and water optimization in the production of bioethanol from corn and switchgrass. We show that in order for these manufacturing processes to be attractive,there is a need to go beyond traditional heat integration and water recycling techniques. Thus,we propose a strategy based on mathe-matical programming techniques to model and optimize the structure of the processes,and perform heat integration including the use of multi-effect distillation columns and integrated water networks to show that the energy effi-ciency and water consumption in bioethanol plants can be significantly improved. Specifically,under some circum-stances energy can even be produced and the water consumption can be reduced below the values required for the production of gasoline.

文摘In an integrated iron and steel plant with a cogeneration system, recycled energy is continuously transported into the cogeneration system and the electricity is continuously generated, and both of them could not be stored for a long time. Moreover, thegeneration and consumption of electricity is irregular, which may bring about more unexpected imbalances. Therefore, it is a crucial issue to schedule the entire energy system by optimizing the operation of energy utilization, which includes the raw energy in the production system, the generation electricity in the cogeneration system and the recycled energy in these two systems. In this paper, an improved Linear Programming model for energy optimization in the integrated iron and steel plant with a cogeneration system is established. The improved model focuses on controlling the whole energy flow and scheduling the whole energy consumption in the entire energy system between the production system and cogeneration system through optimizing all kinds of energy distribution and utilization in an integrated iron and steel plant with a cogeneration system. Case study shows that the improved model offers the optimal operation conditions at the higher energy utilization, lower energy cost and lower pollution emissions.

文摘Benefiting from the development of Federated Learning(FL)and distributed communication systems,large-scale intelligent applications become possible.Distributed devices not only provide adequate training data,but also cause privacy leakage and energy consumption.How to optimize the energy consumption in distributed communication systems,while ensuring the privacy of users and model accuracy,has become an urgent challenge.In this paper,we define the FL as a 3-layer architecture including users,agents and server.In order to find a balance among model training accuracy,privacy-preserving effect,and energy consumption,we design the training process of FL as game models.We use an extensive game tree to analyze the key elements that influence the players’decisions in the single game,and then find the incentive mechanism that meet the social norms through the repeated game.The experimental results show that the Nash equilibrium we obtained satisfies the laws of reality,and the proposed incentive mechanism can also promote users to submit high-quality data in FL.Following the multiple rounds of play,the incentive mechanism can help all players find the optimal strategies for energy,privacy,and accuracy of FL in distributed communication systems.

文摘There are already several power models to estimate the power consumption of base stations at system level. However, there is so far no model that can predict power consumption of the future base station designs based on algorithms and hardware selections with insufficient physical information. We present such an energy model for typical base stations. This model can help designers in estimating, evaluating and optimizing energy/power consumption of candidate designs in early design stages. The proposed model is verified by an LTE extreme scenario. The estimated results show that digital front-end, channel equalization and channel decoding are three major power greedy modules(consuming 39.4%, 16.3%, 13.4%) in a digital baseband subsystem. The power estimation error of the proposed power amplifier(PA) power model is 3.5%(macro cell). The major contribution of this paper is that the proposed models can rapidly estimate energy/power consumption of 4G and the future base stations(such as 5G) in early design stages with well acceptable precision, even without sufficient implementation information.

文摘An iterative optimization strategy for fed-batch fermentation process is presented by combining a run-to-run optimization with swarm energy conservation particle swarm optimization (SEC-PSO). SEC-PSO, which is designed with the concept of energy conservation, can solve the problem of premature convergence frequently appeared in standard PSO algorithm by partitioning its population into several sub-swarms according to the energy of the swarm and is used in the optimization strategy for parameter identification and operation condition optimization. The run-to-run optimization exploits the repetitive nature of fed-batch processes in order to deal with the optimal problems of fed-batch fermentation process with inaccurate process model and unsteady process state. The kinetic model parameters, used in the operation condition optimization of the next run, are adjusted by calculating time-series data obtained from real fed-batch process in the run-to-run optimization. The simulation results show that the strategy can adjust its kinetic model dynamically and overcome the instability of fed-batch process effectively. Run-to-run strategy with SEC-PSO provides an effective method for optimization of fed-batch fermentation process.
