Sensing and subsequent analysis of the environmental data of a given geographical area is an essential requisite for the planned development of that region. Nowadays, IoT Sensor-Cloud ecosystem has been adopted to collect data from IoT sensors and transmit it to the chosen Cloud Server for further processing and dissemination. In a large Wireless Sensor Network formed by the IoT sensors, there will be a significant amount of redundancy in the dataset when the nodes are placed closely, and the sensed data varies slowly and gradually with regard to time and space. Then, avoiding redundant data transmission can lead to lower energy consumption and communication overhead. Adaptive subset selection of sensor nodes for data size reduction in a Wireless Sensor Network is an approach to efficiently managing the amount of data transmitted within the network. Then, in the current time schedule, it is possible to optimally select a subset of the sensor nodes for data collection without very much affecting the overall data fidelity. An optimal sensor node subset selection scheme that reduces the communication load with minimum information loss is proposed to achieve this task. The unselected nodes are put in sleep mode, which consequently results in lower sensor energy expenditure. The subset selection algorithm is implemented based on the derivative-free patternsearch optimizer that minimizes the reconstruction error during the associated extrapolation. This approach differs entirely from the Compressive Data Gathering approach. The simulation results reveal that the performance of the proposed scheme is superior to other similar competitive methods in terms of the mean square error, which is found to be 1.95, with the percentage participation nodes equal to 50% and when the sensor data is uniformly distributed over 20 and 30 units.

This paper aims to develop an efficient scheduling approach based on Genetic algorithms to optimize energy consumption and maximize the operational lifetime of Wireless cial for prolonging the operational lifespan of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that include a substantial number of sensors. Simultaneously activating all sensors results in a fast depletion of energy, thus diminishing the overall lifespan of the network. To address this issue, it is necessary to schedule sensor activity in an effective manner. This task, known as the maximum coverage set scheduling (MCSS) problem, is highly complex and has been demonstrated to be NP-hard. This article presents a customized genetic algorithm designed to tackle the MCSS problem, aiming to improve the longevity of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Our methodology effectively detects and enhances combinations of coverage sets and their corresponding schedules. The program incorporates key criteria such as the detection ranges of individual sensors, their energy levels, and activity durations to optimize the overall energy efficiency and operational sustainability of the network. The performance of the suggested algorithm is assessed through simulations and compared to that of the Greedy algorithm and the pattern search algorithm. The results indicate that our genetic algorithm not only maximizes network lifetime but also enhances the efficiency and efficacy of solving the MCSS problem. This represents a significant improvement in managing the energy consumption in WSNs.

Carrot chasing guidance law is one of the most widely used path following algorithms due to its simplicity and ease of implementation;however, it has a fixed parameter which leads to large cross-tracking errors during different navigational conditions. This study proposes an innovative approach to carrot chasing algorithm to minimize cross-tracking errors. patternsearch optimization technique is integrated with carrot chasing guidance law to determine unique virtual target points obtained by flexible parameters instead of a fixed parameter. Proposed smart carrot chasing guidance law (SCCGL) provides stable and accurate path following even for different navigational conditions of unmanned surface vehicle (USV). To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to apply patternsearch optimization technique to carrot chasing guidance law while USV is performing multi-tasks of predefined paths. This novelty significantly reduces both cross tracking errors and computational costs. Firstly, SCCGL is tested and compared with traditional carrot chasing algorithm in the numerical simulator for several navigational conditions such as different lists of waypoints, different initial locations, and different maximum turning rates of USV. SCCGL automatically determines optimal parameters to make stable and accurate navigation. SCCGL significantly reduces cross tracking errors compared to classical carrot chasing algorithm. This is the first contribution of this paper. Secondly, genetic algorithm optimization method has been implemented to carrot chasing guidance law instead of patternsearch optimization technique. Genetic algorithm causes the total simulation time to be quite long. The proposed SCCGL (patternsearch integrated carrot chasing guidance law) gives optimum results 20 times faster than the genetic algorithm. This is the second and main contribution of developed SCCGL method. It is observed that SCCGL provides best navigation with minimum cross-tracking errors and mini

This study addresses the challenges of infinite impulse response (IIR) system identification by introducing an improved cooperation searchalgorithm (ICSA). Improved cooperation searchalgorithm enhances the original cooperation searchalgorithm (CSA) through the integration of a pattern search algorithm and opposition-based learning, aiming to improve both exploration and exploitation capabilities. The algorithm's performance was evaluated against diverse IIR plants of varying orders using convergence analysis, scatter plots, and statistical metrics. Results demonstrate ICSA's superiority over CSA, achieving significantly lower mean squared error (MSE) values across different system orders and model types. Notably, ICSA outperformed CSA by up to 27 orders of magnitude for matched-order models and up to 95.85% for reduced-order models. The algorithm also exhibited more consistent performance, with substantially lower standard deviations in many cases. Statistical validation through the Wilcoxon signed-rank test further confirmed ICSA's enhanced performance. This research highlights ICSA's efficacy in producing efficient IIR systems, demonstrating its potential for more accurate system identification compared to existing methods.

Incomplete sensed data in structures have made exact structural damage detection a serious challenge. In this paper, an effective method is presented for damage detection and estimation in structures based on incomplete modal data of a damaged structure via a pattern search algorithm. An objective function based on the condensed mass and stiffness matrices is formulated. The proposed method determines the damage to structural elements using optimization of the objective function by using pattern search algorithm. The performance of the presented method has been verified through two numerical examples, namely, a two-span continuous beam and a three-story plane frame with and without noise in the modal data containing several damages. Also, the effect of the discrepancy in mass and stiffness between the finite-element model and the actual tested dynamic system has been investigated. Furthermore, the experimental data from the vibration test of a mass-stiffness system are used for verification of the proposed approach. The results show that the presented method is sensitive to the location and severity of structural damage in spite of the incomplete modal data.

In a large-scale wind farm, under the influence of the wake effect, the single-machine maximum power extraction control strategy would not be able to function at the ideal optimal value. It is important to study the coordinated operation strategy of the wind farm under the wake effect to improve the output power of wind farms and improve the economic benefit. In this paper, a practical wake model called the PARK model is used and a wake superposition model based on energy balance is derived. Based on these models, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the output power of the wind farm considering the wake effect. Taking the Horns Rev offshore wind farm as an example, the stochastic points method, particle swarm optimization, and the pattern search algorithm are implemented and compared with the single-machine maximum power extraction algorithm. Test results show that the particle swarm optimization and the pattern search algorithm have better performance. The output power of the wind farm increases by about 10 percent. The particle swarm optimization requires less computation while the pattern search algorithm obtains better and more practical results. Finally, the pattern search algorithm is used to improve economic benefits under different wind conditions. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, the ideal cycles with finite heat capacity rates is investigated theoretically to maximize power generation using a sequential Carnot cycle model. Although the Carnot efficiency is important, it is limited to evaluating only in terms of heat source/sink temperatures. For the actual heat engine, maximization of power generation is more important than cycle thermal efficiency when utilizing low-grade heat sources such as a waste heat. In this study, power generation optimization is numerically simulated under the fixed conditions of heat source temperatures, heat source flow rate and heat sink temperature. Effect by two design variables, compressor exit temperature and evaporator size ratio, were evaluated during cycle optimization. The optimization was performed using the pattern search algorithm (PSA) under a given thermal capacitance rate ratios and size of heat exchanger (UA) conditions. As a result, designing compressor exit temperature for maximizing the heat received from heat sources does not always maximize the power, but the higher the UA makes the optimum temperature lower, and the power output higher. These idealistic approaches can be useful in designing of cycle where the power maximization is crucial.

Accurate detection of unwanted fires at their early stage is crucial for efficient mitigation and loss prevention. Moreover, the detection strategy must avoid false alarms and the associated disruptions in workplaces. Thermal radiation-based flame detection is the fastest detection method and is commonly used in critical industrial spaces, such as air hangars and petroleum manufacturing and storage. The main challenge is distinguishing the radiation of flames from other sources, e.g., hot objects or the Sun. The principles of radiation-based flame detection have been known for a long time, but open data and worked-out feasibility studies are rare. This work takes advantage of the recent advances in experimental and numerical methods of characterizing the infrared spectra. Combining high-resolution spectra from flames and blackbody emitters with virtual low-pass filters allows us to simulate the response of a hypothetical sensor. To maximize the difference between flame and blackbody responses, we use a pattern search algorithm to find optimal filtering wavelengths for two different detection strategies based on three or four optical low-pass filters. The optimal wavelengths are reported along with the sensitivity of the detection signal to the filter non-ideality. Our results give guidelines for design of efficient and highly selective flame-radiation-based fire detection sensors.

It is proved by the example that the optimization design method proposed can get a better computing result and a much less iterate steps.
