Credible Optimum Selection Of Guidance System Simulation Based On Entropy Weight Vikor Method, Wenguang Yang, Yunjie Wu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: As the core component of the missile system, the guidance system plays an increasingly important role in the design of missile system. In order to improve the accuracy of the guidance system, this paper obtains the experimental data under a number of parameter design schemes by means of simulation experiments. The problem of simulation credibility verification of guidance system is transformed into multi-attribute decision-making optimization problem, and a parameter optimization method of guidance system based on improved VIKOR method is designed. The improved VIKOR method overcomes the phenomenon of rank reversal and ensures that the optimal final compromise solution …

Optimal Sampling Paths For Autonomous Vehicles In Uncertain Ocean Flows, Andrew J. De Stefan

Dissertations

Despite an extensive history of oceanic observation, researchers have only begun to build a complete picture of oceanic currents. Sparsity of instrumentation has created the need to maximize the information extracted from every source of data in building this picture. Within the last few decades, autonomous vehicles, or AVs, have been employed as tools to aid in this research initiative. Unmanned and self-propelled, AVs are capable of spending weeks, if not months, exploring and monitoring the oceans. However, the quality of data acquired by these vehicles is highly dependent on the paths along which they collect their observational data. The …

Gem-Pso: Particle Swarm Optimization Guided By Enhanced Memory, Kevin Fakai Chen

Honors Projects

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a widely-used nature-inspired optimization technique in which a swarm of virtual particles work together with limited communication to find a global minimum or optimum. PSO has has been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems, such as optimization in engineering fields, hybridization with other nature-inspired algorithms, or even general optimization problems. However, PSO suffers from a phenomenon known as premature convergence, in which the algorithm's particles all converge on a local optimum instead of the global optimum, and cannot improve their solution any further. We seek to improve upon the standard Particle Swarm …

Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation With Local Optimization, Tianyu Ye, Yiqun Wang, Dongming Yan, Junhai Yong

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Centroidal Voronoi tessellation is a special geometric structure, which has many applications in various fields such as geographical information system, signal processing, mesh generation/optimization, visualization and so on. Due to the highly non-convex nature of the CVT energy function, the existing methods for computing CVT have several drawbacks, which always trap into local minima. We propose generation optimization and stochastic optimization schemes for further reducing the CVT energy. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves both quality and efficiency compared to the recent approaches.

Artificial Fish Swarm And Feedback Linearization Of Flue Gas Denitration Control Based On Neural Network, Yuguang Niu, Pan Yan, Wenyuan Huang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: According to the present situation of SCR flue gas dentration control system in thermal power plant, an optimum proposal that control valve and concentration transmitter are added in the inlet of the SCR reactor is presented, and the corresponding control strategy is given. At the entrance of the SCR reactor, the receding horizon algorithm combined with the single neuron adaptive algorithm and the artificial fish swarm algorithm (RSNAAFS) is used to control branch valves to pretreat NO_X in the exhaust flue gas. At the outlet of the SCR reactor, the neural network based on feedback linearization algorithm (NNFL) …

Real-Time Pricing Strategy Considering The Risk Of Smart Grid, Hongbo Zhu, Gao Yan, Yeming Dai

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The real-time electricity price mechanism is an ideal method to adjust the power balance between supply and demand in smart grid. Its implementation has profound impacts on the users' behavior and the operation and management of electricity power grid’s safety. The users’ demand behavior plays a regulatory role in designing real-time electricity pricing strategy. Aiming at maximizing social welfare, the dynamic change of users’ aggregate demand is analyzed, which corrects the electricity risk items in online real-time risk model in the way of changing the individual user’s power fluctuations to all the users’ demand power fluctuations, and the optimization …

Optimization Of Q-Btgsid Based On Sensitivity Analysis, Shuwei Jia

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In order to make up for the defect that relative degree of incidence, absolute degree of incidence and synthetic degree of incidence are limited in the range of (0.5, 1], this paper attempts to improve the degree of grey incidence. A control factor of “λ” and the metric space are set up to adjust. A new model is established and its specific properties are studied. It is proved that the new model satisfies the grey incidence axioms and the range of degree of grey incidence can be extended to (0, 1]. We put forward four principles of …

Optimization Of Scheduling Rule Of Unidirectional Material Handling System With Short-Cut, Juntao Li, Kun Xia, Kise Hiroshi

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To decrease the interference and improve the performance of a unidirectional circulation-type material handling system on a single loop with a shortcut, the interference and scheduling problem between AGVs are studied. According to the actual situation of material handling system, the interferences of two scheduling rules (random rule and order rule) are analyzed. An optimal scheduling rule under the interference case—exchange order rule is proposed. Different scheduling rules have an influence on the interference between AGVs and then have an important effect on the efficiency of the whole system. Experiment results show that the exchange order (E-Order) rule …
