This paper proposes a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy based on a local model network (LMN) and a heuristic optimization method to solve the control problem for a nonlinear boiler–turbine unit. First, the LMN model of the boiler–turbine unit is identified by using a data-driven modeling method and converted into a time-varying global predictor. Then, the nonlinear constrained optimization problem for the predictive control is solved online by a specially designed immune genetic algorithm (IGA), which calculates the optimal control law at each sampling instant. By introducing an adaptive terminal cost in the objective function and utilizing local fictitious controllers to improve the initial population of IGA, the proposed NMPC can guarantee the system stability while the computational complexity is reduced since a shorter prediction horizon can be adopted. The effectiveness of the proposed NMPC is validated by simulations on a 500 MW coal-fired boiler–turbine unit.

In order to solve the problem on sensor optimization placement in the structural health monitoring (SHM) field, a new sensor optimization method is proposed based on the modal assurance criterion (MAC) and the single parenthood genetic algorithm (SPGA). First, the required sensor numbers are obtained by using the step accumulating method. The SPGA is used to place sensors, in which the binary coding is adopted to realize the genetic manipulation through gene exchange, gene shift and gene inversion. Then, the method is further simplified and improved for higher computation efficiency. Where, neither the individual diversity of initial population nor the immature convergence problem is required. Finally, a numerical example of 61 truss frame structure is used to assess the robustness of the proposed method. The illustrated results show that the new method is better than the improved genetic algorithm and the step accumulating method in the search capacity, computational efficiency and reliability.

Abstract An improved immune genetic algorithm is used to design and optimize the wing structure parameters of a competition aircraft. According to the requirements of aircraft design, multi-objective optimization index is established. On this basis, the basic steps of using immune algorithm to optimize the main design parameters of aircraft wing structure are proposed, and the optimization of the wing parameters of a competition aircraft is used as an example for simulation calculation. The design variables in the optimization are the size of the wing components, and the optimization goal is to minimize the weight of the wing and the maximum deformation of the wing structure. Research shows that compared with traditional optimization methods; the improved immune genetic algorithm is a very effective optimization method. At the same time, a prototype is made to check the validity and feasibility of the design. Flight test results show that the optimization method is very effective. Although the method is proposed for competition aircraft, it is also applicable to other types of aircraft.

According to the phenomenon of falling into local optimum during solving large-scale optimization problems and the shortcomings of poor convergence of Immune Genetic Algorithm, a new kind of probability selection method based on the concentration for the genetic operation is presented. Considering the features of chaos optimization method, such like not requiring the solved problems with continuity or differentiability, which is unlike the conventional method, and also with a solving process within a certain range traverse in order to find the global optimal solution, a kind of Chaos Immune Genetic Algorithm based on Logistic map and Hénon map is proposed. Through the application to TSP problem, the results have showed the superior to other algorithms.
