Application of distributed model predictive control based on neighborhood optimization in gauge-looper integrated system of tandem hot rolling

To solve the coupling relationship between the strip automatic gauge control and the looper control in traditional control strategy of tandem hot rolling,a distributed model predictive control(DMPC)strategy for the tandem hot rolling was explored,and a series of simulation experiments were carried out.Firstly,based on the state space analysis method,the multivariable dynamic transition process of hot strip rolling was studied,and the state space model of a gauge-looper integrated system in tandem hot rolling was established.Secondly,DMPC strategy based on neighborhood optimization was proposed,which fully considered the coupling relationship in this integrated system.Finally,a series of experiments simulating disturbances and emergency situations were completed with actual rolling data.The experimental results showed that the proposed DMPC control strategy had better performance compared with the traditional proportional-integral control and centralized model predictive control,which is applicable for the gauge-looper integrated system.

Discussion on neighborhood optimal trajectory online correction algorithm and its application range

This paper presents a neighborhood optimal trajectory online correction algorithm considering terminal time variation,and investigates its application range.Firstly,the motion model of midcourse guidance is established,and the online trajectory correction-regenerating strategy is introduced.Secondly,based on the neighborhood optimal control theory,a neighborhood optimal trajectory online correction algorithm considering the terminal time variation is proposed by adding the consideration of terminal time variation to the traditional neighborhood optimal trajectory correction method.Thirdly,the Monte Carlo simulation method is used to analyze the application range of the algorithm,which provides a basis for the division of application domain of the online correction algorithm and the online regeneration algorithm of midcourse guidance trajectory.Finally,the simulation results show that the algorithm has high real-time performance,and the online correction trajectory can meet the requirements of terminal constraint change.The application range of the algorithm is obtained through Monte Carlo simulation.

Dynamic neighborhood genetic learning particle swarm optimization for high-power-density electric propulsion motor

To maximize the power density of the electric propulsion motor in aerospace application,this paper proposes a novel Dynamic Neighborhood Genetic Learning Particle Swarm Optimization(DNGL-PSO)for the motor design,which can deal with the insufficient population diversity and non-global optimal solution issues.The DNGL-PSO framework is composed of the dynamic neighborhood module and the particle update module.To improve the population diversity,the dynamic neighborhood strategy is first proposed,which combines the local neighborhood exemplar generation mechanism and the shuffling mechanism.The local neighborhood exemplar generation mechanism enlarges the search range of the algorithm in the solution space,thus obtaining highquality exemplars.Meanwhile,when the global optimal solution cannot update its fitness value,the shuffling mechanism module is triggered to dynamically change the local neighborhood members.The roulette wheel selection operator is introduced into the shuffling mechanism to ensure that particles with larger fitness value are selected with a higher probability and remain in the local neighborhood.Then,the global learning based particle update approach is proposed,which can achieve a good balance between the expansion of the search range in the early stage and the acceleration of local convergence in the later stage.Finally,the optimization design of the electric propulsion motor is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed DNGL-PSO.The simulation results show that the proposed DNGL-PSO has excellent adaptability,optimization efficiency and global optimization capability,while the optimized electric propulsion motor has a high power density of 5.207 kW/kg with the efficiency of 96.12%.
