The throughput maximum and average queue ratio minimum for the critical route of the intersection group are selected as the optimization objectives of the traffic signal control for the over-saturated condition.

Considering the stagnation phenomenon in the later phase of the basic PSO algorithm caused by the diversity scarcity of particles, a modified PSO algorithm is presented. For the basic PSO algorithm, the velocity of each particle is adjusted according to the inertia motion, the swarm previous best position and its own previous best position. However, in the improved PSO algorithm, each particle only learns from another randomly selected particle with higher performance, besides keeping the inertia motion. The inertia weight of the improved PSO algorithm is a random number. The modification decreases the uncertain parameters of the algorithm, simplifies the learning mechanism of the particle, and enhances the diversity of the swarm. Furthermore, a UAV attitude control system is built, and the improved PSO algorithm is applied in the optimized tuning of four controller parameters. Simulation results show that the improved PSO algorithm has stronger global searching ability than the common PSO algorithms, and obtains better UAV attitude control parameters.展开更多

文摘Compared to other energy sources,nuclear reactors offer several advantages as a spacecraft power source,including compact size,high power density,and long operating life.These qualities make nuclear power an ideal energy source for future deep space exploration.A whole system model of the space nuclear reactor consisting of the reactor neutron kinetics,reactivity control,reactor heat transfer,heat exchanger,and thermoelectric converter was developed.In addition,an electrical power control system was designed based on the developed dynamic model.The GRS method was used to quantitatively calculate the uncertainty of coupling parameters of the neutronics,thermal-hydraulics,and control system for the space reactor.The Spearman correlation coefficient was applied in the sensitivity analysis of system input parameters to output parameters.The calculation results showed that the uncertainty of the output parameters caused by coupling parameters had the most considerable variation,with a relative standard deviation<2.01%.Effective delayed neutron fraction was most sensitive to electrical power.To obtain optimal control performance,the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm method was employed to optimize the controller parameters based on the uncertainty quantification calculation.Two typical transient simulations were conducted to test the adaptive ability of the optimized controller in the uncertainty dynamic system,including 100%full power(FP)to 90%FP step load reduction transient and 5%FP/min linear variable load transient.The results showed that,considering the influence of system uncertainty,the optimized controller could improve the response speed and load following accuracy of electrical power control,in which the effectiveness and superiority have been verified.

文摘The high-speed reentry vehicle operates across a broad range of speeds and spatial domains,where optimal aerodynamic shapes for different speeds are contradictory.This makes it challenging for a single-Mach optimization design to meet aerodynamic performance requirements throughout the vehicle’s flight envelope.Additionally,the strong coupling between aerodynamics and control adds complexity,as fluctuations in aerodynamic parameters due to speed variations complicate control system design.To address these challenges,this study proposes an aerodynamic/control coupling optimization design approach.This method,based on aerodynamic optimization principles,incorporates active control technology,treating aerodynamic layout and control system design as primary components during the conceptual design phase.By integrating the design and evaluation of aerodynamics and control,the approach aims to reduce design iterations and enhance overall flight performance.The comprehensive design of the rotary reentry vehicle,using this optimization strategy,effectively balances performance at supersonic and hypersonic speeds.The results show that the integrated design model meets aerodynamic and control performance requirements over a broader range of Mach numbers,preventing performance degradation due to deviations from the design Mach number,and providing a practical solution for high-speed reentry vehicle design.
文摘This paper presents an innovative and effective control strategy tailored for a deregulated,diversified energy system involving multiple interconnected area.Each area integrates a unique mix of power generation technologies:Area 1 combines thermal,hydro,and distributed generation;Area 2 utilizes a blend of thermal units,distributed solar technologies(DST),and hydro power;andThird control area hosts geothermal power station alongside thermal power generation unit and hydropower units.The suggested control system employs a multi-layered approach,featuring a blended methodology utilizing the Tilted Integral Derivative controller(TID)and the Fractional-Order Integral method to enhance performance and stability.The parameters of this hybrid TID-FOI controller are finely tuned using an advanced optimization method known as the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA).Performance analysis reveals that the combined TID-FOI controller significantly outperforms the TID and PID controllers when comparing their dynamic response across various system configurations.The study also incorporates investigation of redox flow batteries within the broader scope of energy storage applications to assess their impact on system performance.In addition,the research explores the controller’s effectiveness under different power exchange scenarios in a deregulated market,accounting for restrictions on generation ramp rates and governor hysteresis effects in dynamic control.To ensure the reliability and resilience of the presented methodology,the system transitions and develops across a broad range of varying parameters and stochastic load fluctuation.To wrap up,the study offers a pioneering control approach-a hybrid TID-FOI controller optimized via the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA)-designed for enhanced stability and performance in a complex,three-region hybrid energy system functioning within a deregulated framework.

文摘The increasing penetration of second-life battery energy storage systems(SLBESS)in power grids presents substantial challenges to system operation and control due to the heterogeneous characteristics and uncertain degradation patterns of repurposed batteries.This paper presents a novel model-free adaptive voltage controlembedded dung beetle-inspired heuristic optimization algorithmfor optimal SLBESS capacity configuration and power dispatch.To simultaneously address the computational complexity and ensure system stability,this paper develops a comprehensive bilevel optimization framework.At the upper level,a dung beetle optimization algorithmdetermines the optimal SLBESS capacity configuration byminimizing total lifecycle costswhile incorporating the charging/discharging power trajectories derived from the model-free adaptive voltage control strategy.At the lower level,a health-priority power dispatch optimization model intelligently allocates power demands among heterogeneous battery groups based on their real-time operational states,state-of-health variations,and degradation constraints.The proposed model-free approach circumvents the need for complex battery charging/discharging power controlmodels and extensive historical data requirements whilemaintaining system stability through adaptive controlmechanisms.A novel cycle life degradation model is developed to quantify the relationship between remaining useful life,depth of discharge,and operational patterns.The integrated framework enables simultaneous strategic planning and operational control,ensuring both economic efficiency and extended battery lifespan.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through comprehensive case studies on hybrid energy storage systems,demonstrating superior computational efficiency,robust performance across different network configurations,and significant improvements in battery utilization compared to conventional approaches.

文摘In tunnel construction,tunnel boring machine(TBM)tunnelling typically relies on manual experience with sub-optimal control parameters,which can easily lead to inefficiency and high costs.This study proposed an intelligent decision-making method for TBM tunnelling control parameters based on multiobjective optimization(MOO).First,the effective TBM operation dataset is obtained through data preprocessing of the Songhua River(YS)tunnel project in China.Next,the proposed method begins with developing machine learning models for predicting TBM tunnelling performance parameters(i.e.total thrust and cutterhead torque),rock mass classification,and hazard risks(i.e.tunnel collapse and shield jamming).Then,considering three optimal objectives,(i.e.,penetration rate,rock-breaking energy consumption,and cutterhead hob wear),the MOO framework and corresponding mathematical expression are established.The Pareto optimal front is solved using DE-NSGA-II algorithm.Finally,the optimal control parameters(i.e.,advance rate and cutterhead rotation speed)are obtained by the satisfactory solution determination criterion,which can balance construction safety and efficiency with satisfaction.Furthermore,the proposed method is validated through 50 cases of TBM tunnelling,showing promising potential of application.

文摘This paper addresses the parallel control of autonomous surface vehicles subject to external disturbances,state constraints,and input constraints in complex ocean environments with multiple obstacles.A safety-certified parallel model predictive control scheme with collision-avoiding capability is proposed for autonomous surface vehicles in the framework of parallel control.Specifically,an extended state observer is designed by leveraging historical and real-time data for concurrent learning to map the motion of autonomous surface vehicles from its physical system to its artificial counterpart.A parallel model predictive control law is developed on the basis of the artificial system for both physical and artificial autonomous surface vehicles to realize virtual-physical tracking control of vehicles subject to state and input constraints.To ensure safety,highorder discrete control barrier functions are encoded in the parallel model predictive control law as safety constraints such that collision avoidance with obstacles can be achieved.A recedinghorizon constrained optimization problem is constructed with the safety constraints encoded by control barrier functions for parallel model predictive control of autonomous surface vehicles and solved via neurodynamic optimization with projection neural networks.The effectiveness and characteristics of the proposed method are demonstrated via simulations for the safe trajectory tracking and automatic berthing of autonomous surface vehicles.

文摘In order to improve the efficiency of traffic signal control for an over-saturated intersection group, a nondominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ（NSGA-Ⅱ） based traffic signal control optimization algorithm is proposed. The throughput maximum and average queue ratio minimum for the critical route of the intersection group are selected as the optimization objectives of the traffic signal control for the over-saturated condition. The consequences of the efficiency between traffic signal timing plans generated by the proposed algorithm and a commonly utilized signal timing optimization software Synchro are compared in a VISSIM signal control application programming interfaces （SCAPI） simulation environment by using real filed observed traffic data. The simulation results indicate that the signal timing plan generated by the proposed algorithm is more efficient in managing oversaturated flows at intersection groups, and, thus, it has the capability of optimizing signal timing under the over-saturated conditions.

文摘An improved particle swarm optimization （PSO） algorithm is investigated in the optimization of the attitude controller parameters of unmanned aerial vehicle （UAV）. Considering the stagnation phenomenon in the later phase of the basic PSO algorithm caused by the diversity scarcity of particles, a modified PSO algorithm is presented. For the basic PSO algorithm, the velocity of each particle is adjusted according to the inertia motion, the swarm previous best position and its own previous best position. However, in the improved PSO algorithm, each particle only learns from another randomly selected particle with higher performance, besides keeping the inertia motion. The inertia weight of the improved PSO algorithm is a random number. The modification decreases the uncertain parameters of the algorithm, simplifies the learning mechanism of the particle, and enhances the diversity of the swarm. Furthermore, a UAV attitude control system is built, and the improved PSO algorithm is applied in the optimized tuning of four controller parameters. Simulation results show that the improved PSO algorithm has stronger global searching ability than the common PSO algorithms, and obtains better UAV attitude control parameters.
