The Improvement of Genetic Algorithm and Its Application in the Optimal Operation of Reservoirs

Zhong Denghua,Xiong Kaizhi,Cheng Liqin

Strategic Study of CAE 2003, Volume 5, Issue 9,   Pages 22-26

Abstract:

Genetic algorithms search for the optimal solution by continually improving the individual of the population. Because of the difficulty in convergence and solving of individual fitness, standard genetic algorithm (SGA) is not used widely. Based on the improvement of SGA, especially the improvement of the selection operator in SGA, a new genetic algorithm(AGA) is proposed to solve the problems about the optimal operation of reservoirs. A new coding method is presented which is based on the subscript sequence of reservoir capacity array other than the water level sequence. An engineering example illustrates that AGA is much more efficient than SGA, and also the new coding method predigests the course of genetic algorithm in the optimal operation of reservoirs.

A Pareto Strength SCE-UA Algorithm for ReservoirOptimization Operation

Lin Jianyi,Cheng Chuntian,Gu Yanping,Wu Xinyu

Strategic Study of CAE 2007, Volume 9, Issue 10,   Pages 80-82

Abstract:

In this paper,  the Pareto strength SCE-UA algorithm (PSSCE) is presented to handle the reservoir optimization operation problem.  The approach treats the constrained optimization as a two-objective optimization: one objective is the original objective function; the other is the degree of constraint violation.  SCE-UA algorithm is applied to the two-objective optimization by using the individual's comparing procedure and the population ranking procedure which are respectively based on the Pareto dominance relationship and the Pareto strength definition.  The new approach is more general,  effective and robust.

Optimal Scheduling of Variable-pressure Variable-flow Operation of Inverter-drive Pumps Connected in Parallel

Li Hongbin,Zhang Chenghui,Song Jun

Strategic Study of CAE 2001, Volume 3, Issue 9,   Pages 52-57

Abstract:

The paper analyzes common methods for the optimal scheduling modeling problem of variable-pressure variable-flow operation of inverter-drive pumps connected in parallel and compares the merits and defects of them. In the common method, the objective function is the shaft horsepower of the pumps and the constrained conditions are water supply target and high-efficiency area of pumps. In another method, the objective function is the square of the difference between the actual and needed flow when satisfying the lift target and the constrained conditions are high-efficiency areas of pumps. The paper proposes a new modeling method, which is compatible with the actual operation and has higher precision and satisfies the engineering requirement on lower switching frequency. Simulation results have proved its validity.

Abstract: Designing an efficient (DED) strategy for the (SG) in the presence of multiple generators plays a paramount role in obtaining various benefits of a new generation power system, such as easy implementation, low maintenance cost, high energy efficiency, and strong robustness against uncertainties. It has drawn a lot of interest from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including power engineering, control theory, and applied mathematics. We present a state-of-the-art review of some theoretical advances toward DED in the SG, with a focus on the literature published since 2015. We systematically review the recent results on this topic and subsequently categorize them into distributed discrete- and continuous-time economic dispatches of the SG in the presence of multiple generators. After reviewing the literature, we briefly present some future research directions in DED for the SG, including the distributed security economic dispatch of the SG, distributed fast economic dispatch in the SG with practical constraints, efficient initialization-free DED in the SG, DED in the SG in the presence of smart energy storage batteries and flexible loads, and DED in the SG with artificial intelligence technologies.

An incremental ant colony optimization based approach to task assignment to processors for multiprocessor scheduling Article

Hamid Reza BOVEIRI

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 4,   Pages 498-510 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1500394

Abstract: Optimized task scheduling is one of the most important challenges to achieve high performance in multiprocessor environments such as parallel and distributed systems. Most introduced task-scheduling algorithms are based on the so-called list scheduling technique. The basic idea behind list scheduling is to prepare a sequence of nodes in the form of a list for scheduling by assigning them some priority measurements, and then repeatedly removing the node with the highest priority from the list and allocating it to the processor providing the earliest start time (EST). Therefore, it can be inferred that the makespans obtained are dominated by two major factors: (1) which order of tasks should be selected (sequence subproblem); (2) how the selected order should be assigned to the processors (assignment subproblem). A number of good approaches for overcoming the task sequence dilemma have been proposed in the literature, while the task assignment problem has not been studied much. The results of this study prove that assigning tasks to the processors using the traditional EST method is not optimum; in addition, a novel approach based on the ant colony optimization algorithm is introduced, which can find far better solutions.

Firefly algorithm with division of roles for complex optimal scheduling Research Articles

Jia Zhao, Wenping Chen, Renbin Xiao, Jun Ye,zhaojia925@163.com,chen_9731@163.com,rbxiao@hust.edu.cn,yejun68@sina.com

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2021, Volume 22, Issue 10,   Pages 1311-1333 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2000691

Abstract: A single strategy used in the cannot effectively solve the complex problem. Thus, we propose the FA with (DRFA). Herein, fireflies are divided into leaders, developers, and followers, while a learning strategy is assigned to each role: the leader chooses the greedy ; the developer chooses two leaders randomly and uses the strategy for local development; the follower randomly selects two excellent particles for global exploration. To improve the efficiency of the fixed step size used in FA, a stepped variable step size strategy is proposed to meet different requirements of the algorithm for the step size at different stages. Role division can balance the development and exploration ability of the algorithm. The use of multiple strategies can greatly improve the versatility of the algorithm for complex optimization problems. The optimal performance of the proposed algorithm has been verified by three sets of test functions and a simulation of of cascade reservoirs.

Optimal Operation of Integrated Heat and Electricity Systems: A Tightening McCormick Approach Article

Lirong Deng, Hongbin Sun, Baoju Li, Yong Sun, Tianshu Yang, Xuan Zhang

Engineering 2021, Volume 7, Issue 8,   Pages 1076-1086 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2021.06.006

Abstract:

Combined heat and electricity operation with variable mass flow rates promotes flexibility, economy, and sustainability through synergies between electric power systems (EPSs) and district heating systems (DHSs). Such combined operation presents a highly nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem, mainly due to the bilinear terms in the heat flow model—that is, the product of the mass flow rate and the nodal temperature. Existing methods, such as nonlinear optimization, generalized Benders decomposition, and convex relaxation, still present challenges in achieving a satisfactory performance in terms of solution quality and computational efficiency. To resolve this problem, we herein first reformulate the district heating network model through an equivalent transformation and variable substitution. The reformulated model has only one set of nonconvex constraints with reduced bilinear terms, and the remaining constraints are linear. Such a reformulation not only ensures optimality, but also accelerates the solving process. To relax the remaining bilinear constraints, we then apply McCormick envelopes and obtain an objective lower bound of the reformulated model. To improve the quality of the McCormick relaxation, we employ a piecewise McCormick technique that partitions the domain of one of the variables of the bilinear terms into several disjoint regions in order to derive strengthened lower and upper bounds of the partitioned variables. We propose a heuristic tightening method to further constrict the strengthened bounds derived from the piecewise McCormick technique and recover a nearby feasible solution. Case studies show that, compared with the interior point method and the method implemented in a global bilinear solver, the proposed tightening McCormick method quickly solves the heat-electricity operation problem with an acceptable feasibility check and optimality.

Global Optimization of Nonlinear Blend-Scheduling Problems

Pedro A. Castillo Castillo Pedro M. Castro,Vladimir Mahalec

Engineering 2017, Volume 3, Issue 2,   Pages 188-201 doi: 10.1016/J.ENG.2017.02.005

Abstract:

The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry. This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties. In this work, a global optimization algorithm is proposed to solve a previously published continuous-time mixed-integer nonlinear scheduling model for gasoline blending. The model includes blend recipe optimization, the distribution problem, and several important operational features and constraints. The algorithm employs piecewise McCormick relaxation (PMCR) and normalized multiparametric disaggregation technique (NMDT) to compute estimates of the global optimum. These techniques partition the domain of one of the variables in a bilinear term and generate convex relaxations for each partition. By increasing the number of partitions and reducing the domain of the variables, the algorithm is able to refine the estimates of the global solution. The algorithm is compared to two commercial global solvers and two heuristic methods by solving four examples from the literature. Results show that the proposed global optimization algorithm performs on par with commercial solvers but is not as fast as heuristic approaches.

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2021, Volume 22, Issue 1,   Pages 1-140 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2000201

Abstract: The problem of a smart grid under vicious denial of service (DoS) is the main focus of this paper. Taking the actual situation of power generation as a starting point, a new model is established which takes the environmental pollution penalty into account. For saving the limited bandwidth, a novel distributed event-triggered scheme is proposed to keep the resilience and economy of a class of cyber-power systems when the communication network is subject to malicious DoS attack. Then an improved multi-agent consensus protocol based on the gradient descent idea is designed to solve the minimization problem, and the prerequisites to minimize the system power generation cost are analyzed from the aspects of optimality and stability. Finally, the theoretical results are verified through a single-area 10-generator unit simulation.

A three-stage method with efficient calculation for lot streaming flow-shop scheduling Research Articles

Hai-yan WANG, Fu ZHAO, Hui-min GAO, John W. SUTHERLAND

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 7,   Pages 1002-1020 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1700457

Abstract:

An important production planning problem is how to best schedule jobs (or lots) when each job consists of a large number of identical parts. This problem is often approached by breaking each job/lot into sublots (termed lot streaming). When the total number of transfer sublots in lot streaming is large, the computational effort to calculate job completion time can be significant. However, researchers have largely neglected this computation time issue. To provide a practical method for production scheduling for this situation, we propose a method to address the n-job, m-machine, and lot streaming flow-shop scheduling problem. We consider the variable sublot sizes, setup time, and the possibility that transfer sublot sizes may be bounded because of capacity constrained transportation activities. The proposed method has three stages: initial lot splitting, job sequencing optimization with efficient calculation of the makespan/total flow time criterion, and transfer adjustment. Computational experiments are conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the three-stage method. The experiments reveal that relative to results reported on lot streaming problems for five standard datasets, the proposed method saves substantial computation time and provides better solutions, especially for large-size problems.

Abstract:

In this preliminary study, it is shown that for a reservoir on a river of rich runoff, such as the Yangtze, elaborate scheme of sediment management may be devised to substantially reduce reservoir deposition. The mathematical model applied in this investigation has been fairly well verified with long - term field data of sediment transport by unsteady flow in the Lower Yellow River. In view of the importance of TGP, however, further investigation with physical models and mathematical model of other versions is planned. Great financial benefits are involved.
