In the simulation of concrete thermal stress fields, thermal parameters are crucial for calculating the concrete temperature field. In actual construction, due to the adjustment of the concrete mixing ratio and the changing external environment (temperature fluctuations, cooling conditions, solar radiation, thermal insulation measures, etc.), there are significant differences between the thermal parameters obtained in tests and the actual working conditions, which affect the simulation accuracy. Therefore, the inverse analysis of concrete thermal parameters under real working conditions can be carried out based on the measured temperature data. A method for inverse analysis of thermal parameters of arch dams using the walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA) is proposed. To verify the accuracy of the inversion parameters, twelve classical test functions are used to compare the three algorithms to evaluate their fitness. The efficiency difference is analyzed by nonparametric methods such as Fredman and Wilcoxon rank sum test. The results consistently indicate that the walrus optimization algorithm performs better. Furthermore, the WaOA is utilized for the parameter inversion of an arch dam in the downstream area of the Jinsha River. We bring the inversion results into different dam sections to calculate the temperature field during construction, which effectively verifies the efficient solution ability of the WaOA for the inverse analysis of concrete thermal parameters under complex engineering backgrounds.

One of the key challenges in interconnected power systems is developing an effective control strategy to mitigate frequency and power deviations caused by the intermittency of renewable energy sources (RESs) and varying load demands. This research introduces an innovative cascade control strategy featuring a PPD controller followed by a PI controller (PPD-PI) for load frequency control (LFC) in a two-area power system with photovoltaic (PV), wind, and thermal reheat power sources. The walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA) is employed to fine-tune the parameters of both the PIDn and PPD-PI controllers, with the goal of minimizing the integral time absolute error (ITAE). The study first applies the WaOA-tuned PID with filter (PIDn) controller to showcase WaOA's effectiveness in LFC, achieving the lowest objective function value of 0.3862, surpassing MFO (0.3921) and GA (0.4127). The robustness of the WaOA-tuned PPD-PI controller is then evaluated under various conditions, including step load disturbances, random load patterns, and parameter uncertainties. The proposed controller achieves significant improvements, with a 36.8% reduction in ITAE compared to the second-best CGO-tuned PIDn-PI controller in Case 2, and a 54.45% reduction in ITAE compared to the second-best COA-tuned PDn-PI controller in Case 3. To further highlight the advantages of the proposed scheme, the analysis also includes nonlinearities such as governor dead band (GDB), boiler dynamics (BD), and generation rate constraints (GRC), along with sensitivity analysis and stability testing under a +/- 25%$$ \pm 25\% $$ change in system parameters. The results strongly demonstrate the superior performance of the WaOA-optimized PPD-PI controller over existing methods.

详细信息
The optimal design of the proportional-integral (PI) controller using the walrus optimization algorithm (WOA) with the aim to enhance the dynamic performance of a grid-connected wave energy conversion (WEC) system when subjected to diverse operational conditions is presented in this paper. The proposed system under study consists of an oscillating water column (OWC) device coupled with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to supply power to the grid. Power electronics devices in the form of a generator-side converter (GSC) and a grid-side inverter (GSI) are used to couple the grid and WEC systems. The GSC is used to minimize generator losses and maximize generator real power through the control of d-axis and q-axis currents (id, and iq) of the PMSG. The GSI is used to control the point of common coupling (PCC) and DC-link voltages (VPCC,VDC), respectively. The PI controllers, used to minimize the error between the actual current and voltage values with their respective reference values, are optimally designed using the WOA. The fitness function of the optimization problem is based on the integral square error criterion (ISE). Presented in this paper is a model for the OWC-WEC system and a control strategy to maximize generated power, minimize generator losses, and keep the VDC, V PCC at required values, the usage of WOA to design the PI controllers, and the simulations of system results. The proposed WOA-based PI controller design's effectiveness is evaluated by comparing its simulation results with that obtained from using genetic algorithm (GA), grey wolf (GWO), particle swarm (PWO), and harmony search (HS) optimization-based PI controllers under symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. The proposed strategy shows an enhancement in the dynamic performance of OWC wave energy systems when compared to the other optimizationalgorithm-based PI controllers, as well as achieving the least value for ISE, which reached 0.172.

Borehole breakouts significantly influence drilling operations' efficiency and economics. Accurate evaluation of breakout size (angle and depth) can enhance drilling strategies and hold potential for in situ stress magnitude inversion. In this study, borehole breakout size is approached as a complex nonlinear problem with multiple inputs and outputs. Three hybrid multi-output models, integrating commonly used machine learning algorithms (artificial neural networks ANN, random forests RF, and Boost) with the walrus optimization algorithm (WAOA) optimization techniques, are developed. Input features are determined through literature research (friction angle, cohesion, rock modulus, Poisson's ratio, mud pressure, borehole radius, in situ stress), and 501 related datasets are collected to construct the borehole breakout size dataset. Model performance is assessed using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (R2), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Variance Accounted For (VAF), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Results indicate that WAOA-ANN exhibits excellent and stable prediction performance, particularly on the test set, outperforming the single-output ANN model. Additionally, SHAP sensitivity analysis conducted on the WAOA-ANN model reveals that maximum horizontal principal stress (sigma H) is the most influential parameter in predicting both the angle and depth of borehole breakout. Combining the results of the studies and analyses conducted, WAOA-ANN is considered to be an effective hybrid multi-output model in the prediction of borehole breakout size.

With the widespread application of mobile robotics technology, path planning has increasingly become a research hotspot. In complex environments, planning an efficient, stable, and safe path is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed. To this end, this paper proposes the Improved walrus optimization algorithm (IWaOA) and applies it to path planning. Firstly, the Sine-Tent-Cosine chaotic mapping is used to initialize the walrus population, addressing the issue of insufficient population diversity in the later stages of the algorithm's iteration. Next, two improvement strategies are proposed: optimal value-enhanced random walk and directional evolutionary mutation. These strategies aim to enhance the algorithm's local search capability and precision, optimizing the issues of the original algorithm's proneness to falling into local optima and slow convergence speed. Finally, building on the three stages of the walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA), this paper introduces a fourth stage termed the "Hunting Stage" to the original algorithm with historical experience positions. It's capable of significantly improving the overall performance of the algorithm. Evaluating the performance of the proposed algorithm, this paper conducts experiments with three distinct sets of benchmark functions and compares the outcomes against various swarm intelligence algorithms. Furthermore, the IWaOA was applied to the path planning problem for mobile robots. The experimental results confirm the efficacy and advantage of the IWaOA compared to the traditional WaOA, demonstrating a decrease in path length by 16.7%, 3.7%, and 6.2% across three different map scenarios.

This research article demonstrates how to get a precise lithium-ion battery (LIB) model using one of the artificial intelligence algorithms called the walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA). The model's accuracy affects several transient and dynamic analysis simulations, which are carried out for power systems, electric vehicles, and many transportation applications. The LIB model may have one, two, or three resistance-capacitance (RC) models, signifying the complexity of the optimization challenge. Therefore, the WaOA is used to minimize the cost function that relies on an integral square error criterion. This criterion calculates the error between the estimated and experimental voltages. The proposed method is validated under several conditions, taking into account load variation, battery degradation, temperature fluctuation, and different RC models. The numerical results of the WaOA method are compared with their experimental results for a 2.6 Ah LIB. In addition, the proposed WaOA model has undergone validation alongside numerous optimizationalgorithms-based models. It is worth noting that utilization WaOA with battery modeling stands as a reliable tool for attaining precise model.

The flexible job shop scheduling problem with parallel batch processing operation (FJSP_PBPO) in this study is motivated by real-world scenarios observed in electronic product testing workshops. This research aims to tackle the deficiency of effective methods, particularly global scheduling metaheuristics, for FJSP_PBPO. We establish an optimization model utilizing mixed-integer programming to minimize makespan and introduce an enhanced walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA) for efficiently solving the FJSP_PBPO. Key innovations of our approach include novel encoding, conversion, inverse conversion, and decoding schemes tailored to the constraints of FJSP_PBPO, a random optimal matching initialization (ROMI) strategy for generating diverse and high-quality initial solutions, as well as modifications to the original feeding, migration, and fleeing strategies of WaOA, along with the introduction of a novel gathering strategy. Our approach significantly improves solution quality and optimization efficiency for FJSP_PBPO, as demonstrated through comparative analysis with four enhanced WaOA variants, eleven state-of-the-art algorithms, and validation across 30 test instances and a real-world engineering case.

This paper introduces the walrus optimization algorithm (WaOA) to address load frequency control and automatic voltage regulation in a two-area interconnected power systems. The load frequency control and automatic voltage regulation are critical for maintaining power quality by ensuring stable frequency and voltage levels. The parameters of fractional order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FO-PID) controller are optimized using WaOA, inspired by the social and foraging behaviors of walruses, which inhabit the arctic and sub-arctic regions. The proposed method demonstrates faster convergence in frequency and voltage regulation and improved tie-line power stabilization compared to recent optimizationalgorithms such as salp swarm, whale optimization, crayfish optimization, secretary bird optimization, hippopotamus optimization, brown bear optimization, teaching learning optimization, artificial gorilla troop optimization, and wild horse optimization. MATLAB simulations show that the WaOA-tuned FO-PID controller improves frequency regulation by approximately 25%, and exhibits a considerable faster settling time. Bode plot analyses confirm the stability with gain margins of 5.83 dB and 9.61 dB, and phase margins of 10.8 degrees and 28.6 degrees for the two areas respectively. The system modeling and validation in MATLAB showcases the superior performance and reliability of the WaOA-tuned FO-PID controller in enhancing power system stability and quality under step, random step load disturbance, with nonlinearities like GDC and GDB, and system parameter variations.

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has introduced significant security challenges, with botnet attacks being one of the most prevalent threats. These attacks exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices, leading to severe disruptions and damage to critical infrastructures. Detecting botnet attacks in IoT environments is challenging due to the large volume of data, the dynamic nature of traffic, and the diverse attack patterns. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach called walrus Optimized Ensemble Deep Learning for Anomaly-Based Recognition Classifier (WOAEDL-ABRC), which leverages a combination of advanced machine learning techniques for effective botnet detection. The methodology of this research involves four key components: (1) data preprocessing through min–max normalization to scale the features appropriately, (2) feature selection using the social cooperation search algorithm (SCSA) to identify the most informative attributes, (3) an ensemble deep learning model combining convolutional autoencoder (CAE), bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU), and deep belief network (DBN) for robust anomaly detection, and (4) hyperparameter optimization using the walrus optimization algorithm (WAOA), which fine-tunes the model parameters for optimal performance. This ensemble approach ensures that the model benefits from the strengths of each individual technique while mitigating the weaknesses of others. The dataset used for this research includes network traffic data from IoT environments, consisting of various botnet attack scenarios and normal traffic patterns. The data undergoes extensive preprocessing and feature selection to reduce dimensionality and enhance the model’s performance. The implementation is carried out in Python using TensorFlow for deep learning, with the WAOA applied to optimize hyperparameters. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the WOAEDL-ABRC in detecting botnet attacks, achieving superior accuracy, precision

High-precision image segmentation is beneficial for meeting the requirements of precision agricultural management. In this regard, an enhanced walrus optimization algorithm (LE-WaOA) is proposed, combined with minimum cross-entropy method for multi-level segmentation of chilli images. LE-WaOA integrates lifespan-based Levy flight and elite group genetic strategy, enhancing optimization convergence and accuracy. The smaller the cross-entropy, the more refined the segmentation of the chili pepper images. By minimizing the cross-entropy between the segmented and original images, LE-WaOA aims to find the optimal set of threshold combinations for the highest segmentation accuracy. The smaller the cross-entropy, the more detailed segmentation the chilli images present. Comparative experiments on CEC2017 and real chilli images demonstrate the superiority of LE-WaOA over DE, CMAES, and other metaheuristic algorithms. LE-WaOA achieves the lowest cross-entropy and performs excellently in the peak signal-to-noise ratio evaluation metric.
