In this paper, we study energy-efficient resource allocation in distributed antenna system with wireless power transfer, where time-division multiple access is adopted for downlink multiuser information transmission. In particular, when a user is scheduled to receive information, other users harvest energy at the same time using the same radio-frequency signal. We consider two types of energy efficiency (EE) metrics: user-centric EE (UC-EE) and network-centric EE (NC-EE). Our goal is to maximize the UC-EE and NC-EE, respectively, by optimizing the transmission time and power subject to the energy harvesting requirements of the users. For both UC-EE and NC-EE maximization problems, we transform the nonconvex problems into equivalently tractable problems by using suitable mathematical tools and then develop iterative algorithms to find the globally optimal solutions. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods compared with the benchmark schemes.

In this study, a new sensitivity analysis based on non-linear varying-network magnetic circuit (VNMC) method is proposed for an outer-rotor I-shaped permanent magnet flux-switching motor. By integrating concept of sensitivity analysis into the non-linear VNMC method, the whole design efficiency can be improved effectively by using the comprehensive sensitivity method and sequential non-linear programming algorithm. In the optimisation process, two design objectives are selected, including machine output torque and torque ripple. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the parameters possessing the significant influence on the design objectives can be selected purposely, thus the overall amount of calculation is obviously reduced. After the determination of the sensitive parameters, the rest of optimisation can be realised efficiently by the non-linear VNMC method. Finally, a prototype motor is manufactured and tested. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a novel approach to the solution of multiphase multi-objective optimal control problems. The proposed solution strategy is based on the transcription of the optimal control problem with Finite Elements in Time and the solution of the resulting multi-objective nonlinear programming (MONLP) problem with a memetic strategy that extends the Multi Agent Collaborative Search algorithm. The MONLP problem is reformulated as two nonlinear programming problems: a bilevel and a single-level problem. The bilevel formulation is used to globally explore the search space and generate a well spread set of nondominated decision vectors, whereas the single-level formulation is used to locally converge to Pareto efficient solutions. Within the bilevel formulation, the outer level selects trial decision vectors that satisfy an improvement condition based on Chebyshev weighted norm, whereas the inner level restores the feasibility of the trial vectors generated by the outer level. The single-level refinement implements a Pascoletti-Serafini scalarization of the MONLP problem to optimize the objectives while satisfying the constraints. The approach is applied to the solution of three test cases of increasing complexity: an atmospheric reentry problem, an ascent and abort trajectory scenario, and a three-objective system and trajectory optimization problem for spaceplanes.

Recent studies have demonstrated that the significant benefit can be achieved by using mobile sinks for data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, most of them employed a typical scheme that the mobile collector pauses at the anchor points on its moving tour for a period time to collect the data from nearby sensors. In this paper, the data gathering process is divided into two stages named parking communication (PC) and moving communication (MC). We focus on maximising the total amount of data gathering by the mobile sink, and formulate the problem as two different optimisation models under several constraints for these two different communication stages. Accordingly, dual decomposition and simplex methods are dexterously exploited to derive the optimal communication time and flow rates allocation schemes. Computational results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.

This paper aims to study the application of a heuristic optimization technique namely, Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) technique for optimal protection coordination in power systems. The optimal relay coordination problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained optimization, which is solved using Improved IWO (IIWO). The proposed IIWO algorithm modifies the standard deviation expression of the weed population. The simulation results show that IIWO has faster and better convergence compared with standard IWO. To further improve the computational efficiency, a hybrid IIWO method is also proposed which is obtained by defining sequential quadratic programming (SQP) as a subroutine in IIWO for searching local solutions, thus eliminate weaker weeds in the colonization process. The proposed techniques are tested on both the 9-bus test system and IEEE- 30 bus systems and the performance is compared. Relay coordination algorithm is developed in MATLAB, and the results are found to be effective and reliable. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we use a spectral scaled structured BFGS formula for approximating projected Hessian matrices in an exact penalty approach for solving constrained nonlinear least-squares problems. We show this spectral scaling formula has a good self-correcting property. The reported numerical results show that the use of the spectral scaling structured BFGS method outperforms the standard structured BFGS method.

BackgroundThis paper presents a novel approach for Generative Anatomy Modeling Language (GAML). This approach automatically detects the geometric partitions in 3D anatomy that in turn speeds up integrated non-linear optimization model in GAML for 3D anatomy modeling with constraints (e.g. joints). This integrated non-linear optimization model requires the exponential execution time. However, our approach effectively computes the solution for non-linear optimization model and reduces computation time from exponential to linear time. This is achieved by grouping the 3D geometric constraints into *** community detection algorithms (k-means clustering, Clauset Newman Moore, and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) were used to find communities and partition the non-linear optimization problem into sub-problems. GAML was used to create a case study for 3D shoulder model to benchmark our approach with up to 5000 *** results show that the computation time was reduced from exponential time to linear time and the error rate between the partitioned and non-partitioned approach decreases with the increasing number of constraints. For the largest constraint set (5000 constraints), speed up was over 2689-fold whereas error was computed as low as 2.2%.ConclusionThis study presents a novel approach to group anatomical constraints in 3D human shoulder model using community detection algorithms. A case study for 3D modeling for shoulder models developed for arthroscopic rotator cuff simulation was presented. Our results significantly reduced the computation time in conjunction with a decrease in error using constrained optimization by linear approximation, non-linear optimization solver.

This study proposes a novel problem formulation for a planning distributed generation (DG) allocation for microgrids, using the master-slave approach. In the previous planning studies, all DGs have the same operating mode (e.g. operate at unity power factor). For master-slave controlled microgrid, DGs have two possible operating modes: master (non-unity power factor operation) and slave (unity power factor operation). For planning a master-slave controlled microgrid, in addition to DG siting, the optimal DG operating mode is determined by including a new set of constraints in the planning problem. Thus, the proposed formulation is capable of determining the optimal location of the master and slave DGs with the main objective of minimizing the microgrid's energy losses. The proposed model is formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem;incorporated into an optimal power flow framework and tested on the IEEE 38-bus systems considering a variable load profile. In addition to this, sensitivity analysis is carried for case studies with different load types and reactive power injection by the slave DGs in the system (e.g. operate at fixed non-unity power factor). The proposed approach can serve as an efficient tool for utility operators for planning microgrids.

In this study, landfill sludge (LS) was excavated from a 10 year old full-scale sludge landfill and used to investigate effects of dosage on sludge dewaterability, rheological properties and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) variations by FeCl3-lime conditioning. LS had lower content of organic matters (0.28) and smaller particle size than excess sludge (ES), and greatly lower viscosity and high flowability. The suitable concentration of LS for conditioning (107.2-118.6 g/L) was much higher than that of ES (34 g/L) by rheological analysis. Both FeCl3 and lime improved dewaterability of LS and caused decline of slime and loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS). FeCl3 destroyed proteins in slime and LB-EPS owing to coagulation and acidification effects, weakened internal structure strength, and thus improved dewaterability. Lime addition caused alkaline hydrolysis of polysaccharides in slime and LB-EPS, reduced viscosity and flowability, and improved flowability and dewaterability for LS. The optimal dosage for dewatering using 57.6 mg lime/g dried solids (DS) and 53.6 mg FeCl3/g DS was obtained by using an integrative response surface methodology (RSM) coupled nonlinear programming approach under water content constraint of 55%. The integrative optimization achieved 26.0% cost saving in comparison to RSM optimized condition. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Extracting the valuable information about the connections between the overall properties and the related factors from the industrial big data of materials is of significant interest to the materials engineering. At present, most data-driven approaches focus on building a relation model for a single property of the materials, where it may ignore the restrictive boundaries of other properties. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning-based method using nonlinear programming for multiple properties of the materials, and solve the problem by using the Interior Point Algorithm. The key idea is to take the mapping functions corresponding to the properties of the materials as the constraints of the nonlinear programming problem, thus it is capable of processing the restrictions of these properties. Moreover, with our method, the possible boundaries of these properties under certain conditions can be calculated. Experiments results on steel production data demonstrate the rationality and reliability of the proposed method.
