For systems with nonlinear dynamics, Dynamic programming for control is commonly considered in the framework of integrated plant and control system design. Despite its popularity, this control strategy can run into some computational issues as the performance is dependent on the state and input discretization. In this paper, we propose a sequential quadratic programming-based control optimization strategy for integrated system design, where both the plant and control are optimized for the case study of a continuously variable transmission. The proposed plant and control design problem will be solved using a nested strategy. Copyright (C) 2020 The Authors.

In view of the particularity of ship's double pods propulsion mode, a mathematical model of ship motion is set up. In order to make the double pods more coordinated and promote the desired purpose of ships, the objective function and inequality constraint conditions based on the optimal energy consumption are put forward based on sequential quadratic programming. Combined with the real ship data, the simulation of the thrust optimization system is carried out in MATLAB, and the effectiveness of the control strategy is verified.

Path planning and obstacle avoidance of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is one of the hottest research topics in modern national defense and ocean engineering. Considering the issue of obstacle-free path planning of USV, this paper focuses on a 3-DoF USV and develops an algorithm design. We adopt Gauss pseudo-spectral method to discretize control model and make use of a hybrid algorithm to optimize which combines the advantage of genetic algorithm and sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Simulation results show that this method can quickly explore a high-precision route in an unknown environment which meets the mobility requirement of USV without setting the initial value artificially.

This paper proposes a novel methodology to automate the design process of patch antennas using Improved sequential quadratic programming (ISQP). Patch antennas are widely used in the automotive domain and are a key enabler of car- to- car and car- to- infrastructure communication. Although simulation tools have been improved in term of accuracy, a manual design process still takes a lot of time as well as computational efforts and relies to a large extent on human experience. In this paper, a fully automatic approach is presented and two major challenges are solved inherently. First, the conversion of a multi-objective problem into a single- objective problem is performed appropriately such that can be handled by classic sequential quadratic programming (SQP). Second, the problem of being trapped in local optima is solved by a sophisticated exploration of the search space. Compared to other automation methods, our proposed methodology is fast, produces excellent results, needs limited computational efforts, no longer requires relevant domain knowledge, and is applicable to other types of antenna design. Experimental results of a truncated patch antenna with circular polarization are presented, achieving a good design point within 1470 seconds.

In this paper a new methodology is proposed to solve the optimal Distributed Generation (DG) sizing problem. The main feature of the proposed approach is utilizing the radial power flow method to satisfy the power flow equality constraints as a substitute of the Newton method used in the conventional sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The proposed technique, Fast SQP, is tested on 69-bus and 33-bus radial systems. Simulation results indicated that the execution time of the developed technique is significantly reduced by a factor of 2/3 compared to the conventional SQP.

The citrate (citric acid, CA) coated ferrofluids with great magneto-optical retardance could meet the highly magnetic responsive demand, especially in their potential biomedical applications such as hyperthermia and magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, the measured retardances are based on Taguchi method with nine tests for four parameters, including pH of suspension, molar ratio of CA to Fe3O4, CA volume, and coating temperature. Three optimization algorithms including sequential quadratic programming (SQP), genetic algorithm (GA) and integrated GA-SQP are executed to obtain high retardance. Five initial points chosen from the orthogonal test are input into the SQP, the GA is applied to the regression equation, and while executing the integrated GA-SQP algorithm, the parametric combination obtained by GA is adopted as the initial point in the SQP simulation. The global optimum retardance and the corresponding parameter values are effectively assured by the global search ability of a GA and the ability of local searching by using SQP.

This paper addresses the economic-environmental dispatch problem for thermal plants on a Multi-terminal HVDC power grid. A multi-objective optimization approach is used for modeling the compromise between fuel costs and the greenhouse gas emissions by the thermal plants. The grid topology is also considered by proposing a convex reformulation of the power balance equations through Taylor's series expansion method. To eliminate the error introduced by this linear approximation a sequential quadratic programming approach is applied by solving the multi-objective problem by a single-objective equivalent via weighting factor approach. A standard 6-node HVDC system is used to validate the proposed convex formulation. All simulations are performed in MATLAB with the quadprog optimization package.

In order to efficiently construct anticlastic concrete shell structures in architecture, flexible formwork can be used, whose main component is a cable net under tension. To cope with the fabrication tolerances of the cable net and thus to reduce the deviations between the nominal digital design model and the as-built one, which is needed to guarantee the properties of the shell, we propose a control algorithm which iteratively steers the geometry of the cable net to the desired one. Our contribution in this paper is twofold. We formulate an optimal control problem and provide two different formulations of the nonlinear equality and inequality constraints. Whereas one of the formulations is a set of implicit nonlinear equations, the other one is the solution to a second-order cone program, which can efficiently be solved. We use both formulations and combine them into a control algorithm, which is based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP), and where the solution in each iteration is feasible for the nonlinear constraints. A simulation example is presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed control algorithm.
