Intelligent Scheduling for High Bulilding Multi-type Cooling System

In modern giant buildings,in order to improve energy utilization efficiency, cooling systems have developed from conventional chillers alone to smart energy net which includes chillers,ice storage,ground-source heat pump,combined cooling heating and power( CCHP) and so on. The reasonable distribution of load is the key to guarantee such system in economical operation.Based on typical multi-type cooling system,economic models of different devices are presented and real-time intelligent economic scheduling with the approach of mixed integer programming is carried out. This algorithm has been applied in a certain building of Shanghai and results of simulation show that it is able to provide guidance on intelligent economic scheduling for multi-type cooling system.

Intelligent Scheduling of Public Traffic Vehicles Based on a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm

A genetic algorithm （GA） and a hybrid genetic algorithm （HGA） were used for optimal scheduling of public vehicles based on their actual operational environments. The performance for three kinds of vehicular levels were compared using one-point and two-point crossover operations. The vehicle scheduling times are improved by the intelligent characteristics of the GA. The HGA, which integrates the genetic algorithm with a tabu search, further improves the convergence performance and the optimization by avoiding the premature convergence of the GA. The results show that intelligent scheduling of public vehicles based on the HGA overcomes the shortcomings of traditional scheduling methods. The vehicle operation management efficiency is improved by this essential technology for intelligent scheduling of public vehicles.

Edge-cloud collaborative intelligent production scheduling based on digital twin

With the application of various information technologies in smart manufacturing,new intelligent production mode puts forward higher demands for real-time and robustness of production scheduling.For the production scheduling problem in large-scale manufacturing environment,digital twin(DT)places high demand on data processing capability of the terminals.It requires both global prediction and real-time response abilities.In order to solve the above problem,a DT-based edge-cloud collaborative intelligent production scheduling(DTECCS)system was proposed,and the scheduling model and method were introduced.DT-based edge-cloud collaboration(ECC)can predict the production capacity of each workshop,reassemble customer orders,optimize the allocation of global manufacturing resources in the cloud,and carry out distributed scheduling on the edge-side to improve scheduling and tasks processing efficiency.In the production process,the DTECCS system adjusts scheduling strategies in real-time,responding to changes in production conditions and order fluctuations.Finally,simulation results show the effectiveness of DTECCS system.
