In this work, an optimal prediction model, constructed with the lumped element modeling(LEM) and the artificial bee colony(ABC) algorithm, was proposed to efficiently predict the combination of waveform parameters for obtaining the desired droplet properties. For acquiring higher simulation accuracy, a modified dynamic lumped element model(DLEM) was proposed with time-varying equivalent circuits, which can characterize the nonlinear behaviors of piezoelectric printhead. The proposed method was then applied to investigate the influences of various waveform parameters on droplet volume and velocity of nano-silver ink, and to predict the printing quality using nano-silver ink. Experimental results show that, compared with two-dimension manual search, the proposed optimal prediction model perform efficiently and accurately in searching the appropriate combination of waveform parameters for printable electronics fabrication.展开更多

This work models the power network as a black-box function, which is evaluated with the system reliability analysis techniques to determine the maximum transfer capability under a given operating condition. A metamodel or an approximation model of the maximized power transfer capability is built based on the sampled system responses and optimized with respect to the corresponding operating conditions. An optimal metamodel is implemented as a prototype software tool, PTCanalyzer, and applied to Manitoba-Ontario interconnection power transfer calculations. This optimized metamodel technique provides an in-depth understanding of the dependency of the power transfer capability on system operating conditions and proves to be an effective tool in optimizing the operation planning of the interconnection for a given power system configuration. The PTCanalyzer has the potential to be used for optimization of other power network interconnections.展开更多
