A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm is obtained for wind turbine blades. As an example, a 5 MW wind turbine blade design is presented by taking the maximum power coefficient and the minimum blade mass as the optimization objectives. The optimal results show that this algorithm has good performance in handling the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines, and it gives a Pareto-optimal solution set rather than the optimum solutions to the conventional multi objective optimization problems. The wind turbine blade optimization method presented in this paper provides a new and general algorithm for the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines.展开更多

Response surface methodology based on Central composite design （CCD） is used to design the experiments. Mathematical models are developed for combustion parameters （Brake specific fuel consumption （BSFC） and peak cylinder pressure （Pmax））, performance parameter brake thermal efficiency （BTE） and emission parameters （CO, NOx, unburnt HC and smoke） using regression techniques. These regression equations are further utilized for simultaneous optimization of combustion （BSFC, Pmax）, performance （BTE） and emission （CO, NOx, HC, smoke） parameters. As the objective is to maximize BTE and minimize BSFC, Pmax, CO, NOx, HC, smoke, a multi- objective optimization problem is formulated. Non- dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II is used in predict- ing the Pareto optimal sets of solution. Experiments are performed at suitable optimal solutions for predicting the combustion, performance and emission parameters to check the adequacy of the proposed model. The Pareto optimal sets of solution can be used as guidelines for the end users to select optimal combination of engine outputand emission parameters depending upon their own requirements.展开更多

The proposed algorithm contains a new mutation algorithm and has been applied on a bi-objective job sequencing problem. The objectives are the minimization of total weighted tardiness and the minimization of the deterioration cost. The results of the proposed algorithm have been compared with those of original NSGA-II. The comparison of the results shows that the modified NSGA-II performs better than the original NSGA-II.展开更多

In this work, to tackle this challenge, we first categorize the performance metrics of the space optical system by taking into account the system tasks（i.e., target detection and tracking）. We then propose a new non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm（NSGA） to maximize the system surveillance performance. Pareto optimal sets are employed to deal with the conflicts due to the presence of multiple cost functions. Simulation results verify the validity and the improved performance of the proposed technique over benchmark methods.展开更多

The sidewall fusion depth, the width of the heat-affected zone, and the line energy are utilized as comprehensive indications of the quality of the welded joint. In order to achieve well fusion and reduce the heat input to the base metal.Three welding process characteristics were chosen as the primary determinants, including welding voltage, welding speed, and wire feeding speed. The metamodel of the welding quality index was built by the orthogonal experiments. The metamodel and NSGA-Ⅱ(Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ) were combined to develop a multi-objective optimization model of ultra-narrow gap welding process parameters. The results showed that the optimized welding process parameters can increase the sidewall fusion depth, reduce the width of the heataffected zone and the line energy, and to some extent improve the overall quality of the ultra-narrow gap welding process.展开更多
