Three optimally designed three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are compared with an industrial (conventional) motor having the same ratings. The Hooke-Jeeves search routine is used for optimization and three objective functions, namely efficiency, efficiency-cost and cost, are considered. Comparison of the optimum designs with the initial and industrial design reveals that better than the proposed performance can be obtained by a simple optimization method. It is interesting to note that the industrial design satisfies some performance of the cost optimum design, and efficiency optimum design, of course with a lower efficiency. The most desirable variation of motor performance with line voltage and output power is due to the efficiency optimum design. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents an algorithm for the set-covering problem (that is, min c′y: Ey ≧ e, y ≧ 0, yi integer, where E is an m by n matrix of l's and 0's, and e is an m-vector of l's). The special problem structure permits a rather efficient, yet simple, solution procedure that is basically a (0, 1) search of the single-branch type coupled with linear programming and a suboptimization technique. The algorithm has been found to be highly effective for a good number of relatively large problems. Problems from 30 to 905 variables with as many as 200 rows have been solved in less than 16 minutes on an IBM 360 Model 50 computer. The algorithm's effectiveness stems from an efficient suboptimization procedure, which constructs excellent integer solutions from the solutions to linear-programming subproblems.

This study presents the uncertainty analysis of a distribution network (DNR) caused by unit power output control (UPC) distributed generations (DGs) (solar, wind) and load demand by point estimate method (PEM) based on mixed-discrete-based particle swarm optimisation (MDPSO) technique. The uncertainties are taken care by the feeder flow control (FFC) DGs which make the DNR power independent of the main grid, which means the DNR does not exchange any power with the main grid at any load level. To analyse the situation, the load flow technique is modified with introducing $PQV\delta $PQV delta and zero bus in the system. $2m + 1$2m+1 and the higher-order PEM methods are applied in this study for uncertainty analysis. The FFC and the UPC DGs are placed and sized by the MDPSO algorithm. The uncertainty analysis of the system is done based on different objective functions and test cases which are the combinations of active power loss, voltage deviation, and the DG operation cost. The proposed method is applied to the 69-bus DNR, and the results are compared with teaching learning-based meta-heuristic optimisation method. The cumulative distribution function and probability density function of the output random variable are approximate with Gram-Charlier expansion method.

Given a set of items with associated deterministic weights and random rewards, the adaptive stochastic knapsack problem (adaptive SKP) maximizes the probability of reaching a predetermined target reward level when items are inserted sequentially into a capacitated knapsack before the reward of each item is realized. This model arises in resource allocation problems that permit or require sequential allocation decisions in a probabilistic setting. One particular application is in obsolescence inventory management. In this paper, the adaptive SKP is formulated as a dynamic programming (DP) problem for discrete random rewards. The paper also presents a heuristic that mixes adaptive and static policies to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" in the DP. The proposed heuristic is extended to problems with normally distributed random rewards. The heuristic can solve large problems quickly, and its solution always outperforms a static policy. The numerical study indicates that a near-optimal solution can be obtained by using an algorithm with limited look-ahead capabilities.

Nonlinear network applications arise in a variety of contexts: hydroelectric power system scheduling, financial planning, matrix estimation, air traffic control, and so on. This paper reviews applications of network optimization models with nonlinear objectives and, possibly, generalized arcs. Particular emphasis is placed on large-scale implementations. Specialized nonlinear network programming software is typically an order of magnitude faster than general purpose codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We provide a new approach to the numerical computation of moments of the exit time distribution of Markov processes. The method relies on a linear programming formulation of a process exiting from a bounded domain. The LP formulation characterizes the evolution of the process through the moments of the induced occupation measure and naturally provides upper and lower bounds for the exact values of the moments. The conditions the moments have to satisfy are derived directly from the generator of the Markov process and are not based on some approximation of the process. Excellent software is readily available because the computations involve finite dimensional linear programs.

The note shows that a system for condensing posynomials with more than one term into single-termed posynomials, proposed recently by Avriel and Williams, is a special case of an approximation technique originally put forward by Dufhn, Peterson and Zener. It is also shown that the latter approximation scheme has a more general application and the difference between the two is demostrated by a small example.

Numerical control electrical discharge machining(NC EDM) is one of the most widely used machining technologies for manufacturing a closed blisk flow path, particularly for three-dimensional(3D) curved and twisted flow channels. In this process, tool electrode design and machining trajectory planning are the key factors affecting machining accessibility and efficiency. Herein, to reduce the difficulty in designing the electrode and its motion path in the closed curved and twisted channels, a heuristic search hybrid optimisation strategy based on channel grids is adopted to realise the initial electrode trajectory design search and optimised size reduction. By transferring the trajectory optimisation constraints from the complex free-form surface to numbered grids, the search is found to be more orderly and accurate. The two trajectory indicators, namely argument angle and minimum distance, are analysed separately for the optimised results of the adaptive learning particle swarm optimisation algorithm, demonstrating that they can meet the actual processing *** results of NC EDM indicate that the motion path generated by this design method can meet the machining requirements of 3D curved and twisted flow channels.
