In this paper, we propose a new discrete-continuous codification of the Chu–Beasley genetic algorithm to address the optimal placement and sizing problem of the distribution static compensators (D-STATCOM) in electrical distribution grids. The discrete part of the codification determines the nodes where D-STATCOM will be installed. The continuous part of the codification regulates their sizes. The objective function considered in this study is the minimization of the annual operative costs regarding energy losses and installation investments in D-STATCOM. This objective function is subject to the classical power balance constraints and devices’ capabilities. The proposed discrete-continuous version of the genetic algorithm solves the mixed-integer non-linear programming model that the classical power balance generates. Numerical validations in the 33 test feeder with radial and meshed configurations show that the proposed approach effectively minimizes the annual operating costs of the grid. In addition, the GAMS software compares the results of the proposed optimization method, which allows demonstrating its efficiency and robustness.

In recent decades, the genetic algorithm (GA) has been extensively used in the design optimization of electromagnetic devices. Despite the great merits possessed by the GA, its processing procedure is highly time-consuming. On the contrary, the widely applied Taguchi optimization method is faster with comparable effectiveness in certain optimization problems. This study explores the abilities of both methods within the optimization of a permanent magnet coupling, where the optimization objectives are the minimization of coupling volume and maximization of transmitted torque. The optimal geometry of the coupling and the obtained characteristics achieved by both methods are nearly identical. The magnetic torque density is enhanced by more than 20%, while the volume is reduced by 17%. Yet, the Taguchi method is found to be more time-efficient and effective within the considered optimization problem. Thanks to the additive manufacturing techniques, the initial design and the sophisticated geometry of the Taguchi optimal designs are precisely fabricated. The performances of the coupling designs are validated using an experimental setup.

Conflicting Objectives

This paper introduces a two-stage method based on bio-inspired algorithms for the design optimization of a class of general Stewart platforms. The first stage performs a mono-objective optimization in order to reach, with sufficient dexterity, a regular target workspace while minimizing the elements’ lengths. For this optimization problem, we compare three bio-inspired algorithms: the Genetic Algorithm (GA), the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and the Boltzman Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (BUMDA). The second stage looks for the most suitable gains of a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control via the minimization of two conflicting objectives: one based on energy consumption and the tracking error of a target trajectory. To this effect, we compare two multi-objective algorithms: the Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-III (NSGA-III). The main contributions lie in the optimization model, the proposal of a two-stage optimization method, and the findings of the performance of different bio-inspired algorithms for each stage. Furthermore, we show optimized designs delivered by the proposed method and provide directions for the best-performing algorithms through performance metrics and statistical hypothesis tests.

Design Variables

Firstly, a two-level optimization procedure for composite structure is investigated with lamination parameters as design variables and MSC.Nastran as analysis tool. The details using lamination parameters as MSC.Nastran input parameters are presented. Secondly, with a proper equivalent stiffness laminate built to substitute for the lamination parameters, a two-level optimization method based on the equivalent stiffness laminate is proposed. Compared with the lamination parameters-based method, the layer thicknesses of the equivalent stiffness laminate are adopted as continuous design variables at the first level. The corresponding lamination parameters are calculated from the optimal layer thicknesses. At the second level, genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to identify an optimal laminate configuration to target the lamination parameters obtained. The numerical example shows that the proposed method without considering constraints of lamination parameters can obtain better optimal results.

Based on the study of SAE J1980-2008 and FMVSS 208, MADYMO7.1 is used to establish a Multi-body and FE model for two OOP children, and the statistic test is implemented to verify the accuracy of the model. The airbag parameters impacting OOP children greatly and their ranges are selected to determine the objective function. With the Latin Hypercube Sampling method, the Kring approximate model is constructed, and multi-island genetic algorithm is used in subsequently parameters optimization. The results show that the proposed optimization method can provide effective protection for 6-year-old OOP children.

Test Result

In this paper, a new genetic algorithm method to optimize the frequency selective surface(FSS) is presented. The optimization speed and definition are promoted by limiting the parameter range and changing the genetic basis. A new cost function is introduced to optimize the multi-frequency of FSS by multi-object optimization (MO). The cirque element was optimized by the optimization method, fabricated by the selective electroless plating on fabric and measured by the arch test system. Test result proves the simulated result coincide with measured result. Result shows that it’s possible to realize different optimizations based on the various applying by this method.
