In this paper, a new Pigeon Colony algorithm (PCA) based on the features of a pigeon colony flying is proposed for solving global numerical optimization problems. The algorithm mainly consists of the take-off process, flying process and homing process, in which the take-off process is employed to homogenize the initial values and look for the direction of the optimal solution;the flying process is designed to search for the local and global optimum and improve the global worst solution;and the homing process aims to avoid having the algorithm fall into a local optimum. The impact of parameters on the PCA solution quality is investigated in detail. There are low-dimensional functions, high-dimensional functions and systems of nonlinear equations that are used to test the global optimization ability of the PCA. Finally, comparative experiments between the PCA, standard genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization were performed. The results showed that PCA has the best global convergence, smallest cycle indexes, and strongest stability when solving high-dimensional, multi-peak and complicated problems.

After the reference of straight line stability control strategy of four-wheel drive vehicle, this paper proposes a control algorithm combining the sliding mode variable structure and optimization control method. The control algorithm is mainly divided into the upper generalized moment calculation based on the sliding mode variable structure controller and the lower torque distribution controller based on the optimization algorithm, also including the slip rates controller based on PID algorithm to ensure the straight line stability control. This paper establishes the combined model based on the CarSim and MATLAB, and tests to verify the validation of the control strategy through the four-wheel drive vehicle test-bed based on RT_LAB. The simulation and experimental results show that when the tire-road friction coefficient is low, the control strategy can not only make the vehicle tire slip rates stay near the optimal slip ratio, at the same time through the yawing moment adjustment, ensure the yaw angle of vehicle not beyond 0.5 deg/s, so the method can effectively ensure the straight line stability of four wheel drive vehicle.

This paper declares a Coyote optimization algorithm (COA)-based method of determining both optimal PV locations and sizes simultaneously in a distribution system with the largest hosting capacity (HC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and minimizing system voltage deviation. The objective function includes PV hosting capacity (PVHC) and voltage deviation amplitude at each bus. The RMS bus voltage, the maximum size of each PV placement at an installed bus, the total active power losses, and reverse power flow at the substation are constraints to be met. The problem is solved using the Coyote optimization algorithm (COA). The IEEE 123-bus system is applied to test the proposed method. Results are compared with those obtained by other metaheuristic methods, including Genetic algorithm and Particle Swarm optimization. Test results show that the COA method yields exceptional solutions compare to GA and PSO methods in both optimality and convergence.

In this paper, an optimization algorithm based on membrane system is proposed for numerical optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, we designed two mechanisms to simulate the movement of molecules in arbitrary direction and a certain direction to balance global exploration and local exploitation. To test the performance of the proposed algorithm, eight benchmark functions were chosen. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is more advantageous than other experimental algorithms in solving numerical optimization problems.

optimization algorithms have been proved to be good solutions for many practical applications. They were mainly inspired by natural evolutions. However, they are still faced to some problems such as trapping in local minimums, having low speed of convergence, and also having high order of complexity for implementation. In this paper, we introduce a new optimization algorithm, we called it Stem Cells algorithm (SCA), which is based on behavior of stem cells in reproducing themselves. SCA has high speed of convergence, low level of complexity with easy implementation process. It also avoid the local minimums in an intelligent manner. The comparative results on a series of benchmark functions using the proposed algorithm related to other well-known optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm and artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm demonstrate the superior performance of the new optimization algorithm.

Accurate dual-axis sun tracking is the key feature of a heliostat and is critical for the performance of a solar tower power plant. The primary tracking errors with respect to the geometrical errors could be theoretically determined from the measurements of the BCS based on optimization algorithm. Tests are performed on two heliostats in DAHAN solar tower plant and analyses are performed to evaluate the comprehensive effect of the six angular geometrical errors on the heliostat tracking accuracy. The test results show that the altitude-azimuth tracking angle formulas for several fixed geometrical errors work well and have a effectiveness for a given period of time. (C) 2013 Zhifeng Wang.

Heat dissipations of servers in datacenter racks are following an ever-increasing trend, breaking the economical heat removal limits of traditional air-based cooling technologies. Currently, an average of 40-45% of the total datacenter energy consumption is needed to cool servers, presenting significant challenges to maintain energy efficiencies and also noise levels within US OSHA standards The present paper focuses on the determination of the optimal design of a compact plate heat exchanger (PHE), acting as an overhead refrigerant-to-water condenser of a macro-scale thermosyphon, which dissipates the total heat from a datacenter rack into a cooling loop for waste heat recovery applications (e.g. district heating network). PHEs are already the preferred solution for many industrial and domestic applications (especially small to medium size refrigeration and heat pump systems), since they provide higher heat transfer performance, higher flexibility toward the targeted application and lower pressure drops compared to the conventional tube-in-tube and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Furthermore, due to the numerous variables involved in the design of PHEs, such as plate number, plate footprint size, geometry of the corrugation pattern (i.e. chevron angle, pressing depth, etc.), an optimization analysis and corresponding simulation tool is auspicious to finding the optimal design of these units to accommodate the targeted heat rates of datacenter racks. Hence, this study proposes a novel optimization process which incorporates a local simulator (an improved version compared to the one presented at ITHERM 2018) for accurately rating and designing PHEs over a wide range of operating conditions, plate geometries and working fluids. The improved simulator uses a local one-dimensional effectiveness-NTU approach, with a local implementation of mass, momentum and energy equations, coupled with newly upgraded methods for condensation heat transfer coefficients and frictional p

In this paper, a method which employs Modified Teaching-Learning Based optimization (MTLBO) algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal placement and size of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) units in distribution systems. DERs are commonly connected near the load in electric power distribution systems and include renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, fossil-fuel-based generation such as micro turbines, and other distributed energy storage elements. Loss minimization and voltage profile improvement as objective function and for every combination of DERs, impact indices, active and reactive losses and voltage profiles is studied on different load models. For all cases current injection distribution load flow method is used and tested on 84-bus Taiwan Power Company distribution system using MTLBO algorithm.

In this paper we present AOAB, the Automated optimization algorithm Benchmarking system. AOAB can be used to automatically conduct experiments with numerical optimization algorithms by applying them to different benchmarks with different parameter settings. Based on the results, AOAB can automatically perform comparisons between different algorithms and settings. It can aid the researcher to identify trends for good parameter settings and to find which algorithms are suitable for which type of problem. We introduce the system structure of AOAB (the server and the graphical client interface), define the way in which optimizers and benchmark functions can be implemented for the use in AOAB, and conduct an illustrative example experiment with our system: a comparison between Random Search and two Hill Climbers.
