The widespread spread of electric vehicles requires the establishment of charging stations (EVCSs), and this is considered a large load on the network. This gives priority to distributing the stations in a way that reduces the load on the network, and in parallel, re-planning the network and supplying it with the necessary energy to maintain energy efficiency and power quality. Total energy loss minimization, voltage deviation minimization, and voltage stability index improvement are the considered power quality indices in the multi-objective function. Vehicle to grid (V2G) feature, distributed generation units (DG), and capacitor banks are used for improving system performance, by injecting the required active and reactive power. In addition, the initial and running costs of V2G, DG units, and capacitor banks are considered in the multi-objective function. The optimal sizing and allocation of charging stations, V2G, DG units, and capacitor banks are performed using a proposed SelfAdaptive Multi-Population Elitist JAYA (SAMPE-JAYA) algorithm and checked using the genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed algorithm is tested using various scenarios, two standard IEEE test systems. To emphasize the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm, it is applied on a real-world distribution system. To accommodate the optimal allocation of EVCS, which constitute 80.7% and 78.9% of the base active load for the IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems, respectively. Integrating DG amounting to 17.35 % and 18.25 % of the base load is necessary. Additionally, capacitor banks, contributing 36.84 % and 31.166% of the reactive power load, are also required for effective voltage support and system reliability in each respective case.

Iterative learning control (ILC) is a control strategy for repetitive tasks wherein information from previous runs is leveraged to improve future performance. optimization-based ILC (OB-ILC) is a powerful design framework for constrained ILC where measurements from the process are integrated into an optimization algorithm to provide robustness against noise and modelling error. This paper proposes a robust ILC controller for constrained linear processes based on the forward-backward splitting algorithm. It demonstrates how structured uncertainty information can be leveraged to ensure constraint satisfaction and provides a rigorous stability analysis in the iteration domain by combining concepts from monotone operator theory and robust control. Numerical simulations of a precision motion stage support the theoretical results.

In this letter we revisit the famous heavy ball method and study its global convergence for a class of non-convex problems with sector-bounded gradient. We characterize the parameters that render the method globally convergent and yield the best R-convergence factor. We show that for this family of functions, this convergence factor is superior to the factor obtained from the triple momentum method.

In model predictive control fast and reliable quadratic programming solvers are of fundamental importance. The inherent structure of the subsequent optimal control problems can lead to substantial performance improvements if exploited. Therefore, we present a structure-exploiting solver based on proximal augmented Lagrangian, extending the general-purpose quadratic programming solver QPALM. Our solver relies on semismooth Newton iterations to solve the inner sub-problem while directly accounting for the optimal control problem structure via efficient and sparse matrix factorizations. The matrices to be factorized depend on the active-set and therefore low-rank factorization updates can be employed like in active-set methods resulting in cheap iterates. We compare our solver with QPALM and other well-known solvers and show its benefits in a numerical example.

This paper presents two major advances in parallel assembly sequence planning (PASP) for complex systems, specifically wind turbine gearboxes. The proposed time-cost-quality PASP hybrid model (PASP-TCQ) aims to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality by aligning optimisation parameters with real-world demands. This model is designed to optimise complex assembly processes by addressing constraints on time, cost, and quality effectively. Additionally, we introduce a particle swarm-bacteria foraging optimisation (PSBFO) algorithm that integrates the global search capability of particle swarm optimisation (PSO) with the local optimisation strengths of bacteria foraging optimisation (BFO). Integrating PSBFO into PASP-TCQ achieves significant improvements: a 17% reduction in assembly time to 100 hours, a 10% cost reduction to $94,500, and a quality index improvement to 0.93. Statistical tests, including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and tukey's honest significant difference (HSD), confirmed the PSBFO's superiority, with significant gains of 8.44 units over BFO and 13.02 units over PSO in objective function values (p < 0.05). Extensive simulations on a 10 MW wind turbine gearbox validate the effectiveness of the PASP-TCQ and PSBFO, demonstrating their potential to enhance efficiency and productivity in industrial assembly operations.

This letter presents an enhanced Trust Region Method (TRM) for Sequential Linear Programming (SLP) designed to improve the initial feasible solution to a constrained nonlinear programming problem while maintaining the interim solutions feasibility throughout the SLP iterations. The method employs a polytopic sub-approximation of the feasible region, defined around the interim solution as a level set based on variable limits for the linearization error. This polytopic feasible region is established by using a trust region that ensures that maximum limits of the linearization errors are respected. The method adaptively adjusts the size of the feasible region during iterations to achieve convergence to a local optimum by employing variable linearization error limits. Local convergence is attained by reducing the size of the trust radius. A case study illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method, which is compared to the benchmark TRM that uses heuristic limits on the permissible changes in manipulated variables.

Regression techniques were developed to determine the concrete initial (Gf) and total (GF) fracture energy based on prior data using mechanical features and mixed design elements. There were 264 samples retrieved from prior investigations in all. Research contributes to the field by improving the accuracy of predicting concrete fracture energy, offering a methodology for optimizing hyperparameters, and providing a model comparison that demonstrates the practical value of the new approach. These findings can benefit the construction and engineering industries by enhancing the accuracy of material property predictions and improving the quality and safety of constructed structures. This study merged support vector regression (SVR) assessment with arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to predict the Gf and GFF of concrete. The aim of combining the optimization algorithms with SVR analysis was to determine the optimal values of hyperparameters that play pivotal role in developed models' accuracy. The computation and analysis for Gf and GF using five criteria shows that optimized SVR-AOA and SVR-WOA analyses can do admirably well throughout the forecasting model. When the outperforming SVR analysis was compared to the library, it was discovered that the newly constructed SVR-AOA also present a small raise in accuracy, with modification in all metrics. In conclusion, while the SVR-WOA demonstrates its effectiveness in the forecasting outline, the SVR-AOA analysis appears to be a reliable approach for determining accurate Gf values (R2train = 0.921, and R2test = 0.9853) and GF values (R2train = 0.9281, and R2test = 0.9236, as supported by the arguments and feasibility of the models.

Because of the intricacy of cohesion soil texture, settlement simulation in cohesion materials is a critical subject to address. According to the literature study, shallow foundation prediction did not much considered, so developing optimized models can enhance the forecast accuracy in this field. It is the focus of this research to put newly developed machine learning models, such as hybridized support vector regression (SVR) with firefly algorithm (FFA) and cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA), into practice as efficient approaches to predict settlement (S-m) of shallow foundations over cohesion soil properties. The footing width, footing pressure, footing geometry, count of SPT blow, and footing embedment ratio are chosen as estimation parameters. The use of optimization techniques served the aim of determining the ideal value for the major variables of the investigated model. In the COA-SVR system, the values of R-2 and RMSE in the learning phase are 0.9649 and 4.7693, suitable than ANFIS-PSO by 0.9025 and 8.09, and in the examining phase are 0.9937 and 2.5485, considerably proper compared to ANFIS-PSO at 0.739 and 14.10, respectively. By considering another metric-like PI index, the COA-SVR network results more properly than the FFA-SVR model, with a decline of 0.0206 and 0.0717 in the learning and examining data sets, respectively. Furthermore, VAF index also depicts the same trend with outperforming the COA-SVR to FFA-SVR, especially in the examining stage, with a rise of about 3.2%. In conclusion, it is clear that the COA-SVR system could perform better than those integrated with FFA, as well as ANFI-PSO, where the proposed system can be known as the proposed system in the estimation procedure of shallow foundation S-m.

The increasing reliance on numerical methods for controlling dynamical systems and training machine learning models underscores the need to devise algorithms that dependably and efficiently navigate complex optimization landscapes. Classical gradient descent methods offer strong theoretical guarantees for convex problems;however, they demand meticulous hyperparameter tuning for non-convex ones. The emerging paradigm of learning to optimize (L2O) automates the discovery of algorithms with optimized performance leveraging learning models and data - yet, it lacks a theoretical framework to analyze convergence of the learned algorithms. In this letter, we fill this gap by harnessing nonlinear system theory. Specifically, we propose an unconstrained parametrization of all convergent algorithms for smooth non-convex objective functions. Notably, our framework is directly compatible with automatic differentiation tools, ensuring convergence by design while learning to optimize.
