Two available ways for enforcing equality path constraints are presented, which can be directly incorporated into the improved CVI approach. Inequality path constraints are much more difficult to deal with, even for small scale problems, because the time intervals where the inequality path constraints are active are unknown in advance. To overcome the challenge, the ll penalty function and a novel smoothing technique are in-troduced, leading to a new effective approach. Moreover, on the basis of the relevant theorems, a numerical algo-rithm is proposed for nonlinear dynamic optimization problems with inequality path constraints. Results obtained from the classic batch reaCtor operation problem are in agreement with the literature reoorts, and the comoutational efficiency is also high.展开更多

The neuro-fuzzy predictor has the capability of achieving high predictive accuracy due to its nonlinear mapping and interpolation features, and adaptively updating network parameters by a learning procedure to reduce the model errors caused by changes of the process under control. To cope with the difficult problem of nonlinear optimization, Pepanaqi method was applied to search the optimal or suboptimal solution. Comparisons were made among the objective function values of alternatives in initial space. The search was then confined to shrink the smaller region according to results of comparisons. The convergent point was finally approached to be considered as the optimal or suboptimal solution. Experimental results of the neuro-fuzzy predictive control for drier application reveal that the proposed control scheme has less tracking errors and can smooth control actions, which is applicable to changes of drying condition.展开更多

A coordinating controller, responsible to distribute the total load power request among multiple DG units, is suggested based on the conception of hierarchical control structure in the dynamic system. The optimal control problem was formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem subject to set of constraints. The resulting problem was solved using the Kuhn-Tucker method. Computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can provide better efficiency in terms of reducing total costs compared to existing methods. In addition, the proposed optimal load distribution strategy can be easily implemented in real-time thanks to the simplicity of closed-form solutions.展开更多

This process is characterized by the pseudo Boolean objective functional. Since the transfer functions on the process are Boolean functions, the optimal control problem related to the process can be solved by relating between the transfer functions and the objective functional. An analogue of Bellman function for the optimal control problem mentioned is defined and consequently suitable Bellman equation is constructed.展开更多

The m...This paper proposes a parameter determination method of distribution voltage regulators load ratio control transformers (LRT) and step voltage regulators (SVR) considering the tap change and voltage profile. The method takes two procedures in order to simplify the optimization problem and to reduce calculation time. One is to simultaneously determine the control parameters of LRT and SVR minimizing voltage violations and voltage variations. The algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is one of non-linear optimization methods by using a concept of swarm intelligence. Another is to determine the dead-band width of LRT and SVR on the basis of bi-evaluation of tap change and voltage margin. The concept of a Pareto optimal solution is used for the decision of the best dead-band width. As the results of numerical simulations using distribution network model, the validity of the proposed method has been affirmed.展开更多

文摘半挂车辆的非稳定运动学特性为其泊车过程中自主运动规划带来严峻挑战。针对半挂车在多障碍物的静态场景中泊车运动规划算法效率低、结果平滑性差等问题,本文提出了序列式运动规划方法(sequential motion planning algorithm,SMPA)。首先,提出了基于二次规划策略和改进双向快速扩展随机树(bidirectional rapidly-exploring random tree algorithm,Bi-RRT)的初始路径生成方法。然后,结合车辆非完整微分约束下的路径节点可行性判别方法研究,提出基于概率的目标偏向采样策略,提高了采样效率。最后,构建了面向车辆系统控制变量连续性的非线性最优化控制模型,解决泊车换向点的对接问题,提高了泊车轨迹平滑性。仿真结果表明,该方法在多障碍物场景中,规划时间相比Hybrid A*和Bi-RRT分别降低了86.71%和21.44%,轨迹质量也更具优越性。
