Reservoirs usually have multipurpose, such as flood control, water supply, hydropower and recreation. Deriving reservoirs operation rules are very important because it could help guide operators determine the release. For fulfilling such work, the use of neural network has presented to be a cost-effective technique superior to traditional statistical methods. But their training, usually with back-propagation (BP) algorithm or other gradient algorithms, is often with certain drawbacks. In this paper, a newly developed method, simulation with radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) model is adopted. Exemplars are obtained through a simulation model, and RBF neural network is trained to derive reservoirs operation rules by using particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm. The Yellow River upstream multi-reservoir system is demonstrated for this study.

Reliability prediction has been widely studied in many research fields to improve product and system reliability in manufacturing systems. Traditionally, to establish the prediction model, modelers would use all training data without preference. However, the prediction model based only on the most recent data may have better performance. In this paper, to realize an accurate prediction with the most recent data sets, we use the grey model to establish the reliability model. Then, the cubic spline function is integrated into the grey model to enhance the prediction capability of GM(1, 1), a single variable first order grey model. The newly generated model is defined as 3spGM(1, 1). To further improve the prediction accuracy, the particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm is applied to 3spGM(1, 1). We call the improved version P-3spGM(1, 1). Finally, we validated the effectiveness of the proposed model using failure data sets of electric product manufacturing systems.

The LiNbO3-based polarization controller is widely used, but it needs to be calibrated in order to cancel the remaining birefringence. The calibration of the LiNbO3 polarization controller is untrivial because there are several stages, and for each stage, at least four parameters, including V-A,V-Bias, V-C,V-Bias, V-0, and V-pi, need to be calibrated. A smart calibration approach is presented theoretically and experimentally. The particleswarmoptimization (PSO) algorithm is used as an adaptive searching algorithm. The experiment results show that the PSO algorithm is powerful to optimize the operation of LiNbO3-based multistage polarization controllers. It takes only less than 1 min for all the stages of the polarization controller to be thoroughly calibrated.

This paper studied the feedback parameter optimization which applies the modified particleswarmoptimization to realize chaos systems synchronization. However, the object function to be optimized is a multiple hump function, so, in the paper, the random and the ergodicity of the chaotic sequence were applied to initialize particle populations. Because the chaos system is sensitive to the initial value, two chaos systems with same structures and different initial sates will eventually lead to two different trajectories, even if its output error arbitrarily small, This paper used the rolling horizon principle of predictive control to make online optimization of the chaos systems in order to realize the synchronization. Take the chaos system Lorenz for example, we did the numerical simulation to test the feasibility and effectiveness of chaos systems synchronization based on the improved particleswarmoptimization. The results indicate that the convergence rate of the system could be improved by the synchronization of the chaos system based on improved particleswarmoptimization, which is of good robustness.

A data-driven approach for minimization of the energy to air condition a typical office-type facility is presented. Eight data-mining algorithms are applied to model the nonlinear relationship among energy consumption, control settings (supply air temperature and supply air static pressure), and a set of uncontrollable parameters. The multiple-linear perceptron (MLP) ensemble outperforms other models tested in this research, and therefore it is selected to model a chiller, a pump, a fan. and a reheat device. These four models are integrated into an energy optimization model with two decision variables, the set-point of the supply air temperature and the static pressure in the air handling unit. The model is solved with a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The optimization results have demonstrated the total energy consumed by the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system is reduced by over 7%. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The design of DNA code words has been proved to be an important problem for bimolecular computing. It plays an important role in improving the reliability and the scale of DNA computing. Recent experimental and theoretical advances have produced and tested new methods to obtain large DNA word sets to support virtually any kind of applications. In this paper, we use particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) to design DNA word sets with H-distance and Hamming distance combinatorial constraints. By comparing our experimental results with the previous works, our results improve the lower bounds which satisfy combinational constraints, and further shorten the value range of DNA coding bounds. In our computational experiments, we succeed in generating better DNA word sets and give some practical values which satisfy H-distance and Hamming distance constraints. To the best of our knowledge, these results are obtained for the first time, which provide direction for the research of theoretical bounds in DNA coding and the bounds of 4-ary in coding theory.

Grid task scheduling (GTS) is a NP-hard problem. This paper proposes an optimized GTS algorithm which combines with the advantages of cloud model based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm. This algorithm iterates tasks utilizing the advantages of particle swarm optimization algorithm and then gets a set of candidate solutions quickly. In addition, this algorithm modifies the value of entropy and excess entropy using the characteristics of cloud model and implements the transformation between qualitative variables and quantity of uncertain events. And this algorithm makes particles fly to the global optimal solutions by exact searching in local areas. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this algorithm makes load balance of resource efficiently. It also avoids the problems of genetic algorithm and basic particle swarm optimization algorithm, which would easily fall into local optimal solutions and premature convergence caused by too much selected pressure. This algorithm has the advantages of high precision and faster convergence and can be applied in task scheduling on computing grid.

We use an effective global harmony search algorithm (EGHS) to solve two kinds of pressure vessel design problems. In general, the two problems are formulated as mixed-integer non-linear programming problems with several constraints. The EGHS combines harmony search algorithm (HS) with concepts from the swarm intelligence of particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) to solve the two optimization problems. The EGHS algorithm has been applied to two typical problems with results better than previously reported. The results have demonstrated that the EGHS has strong convergence and capacity of space exploration on solving pressure vessel design problems.

This paper presents an experimental analysis of three algorithms for the Oil Derivatives Distribution Problem with two objectives. The problem consists in scheduling the transmission of oil products from source nodes to terminals in due times. The minimization of two objectives is considered: delivery time and fragmentation, that is, the consecutive transmission of distinct products in the same polyduct. The performance of a particle swarm optimization algorithm is compared to the performance of two versions of the NSGA II algorithm in a set of 15 instances. The results show that the particleswarmalgorithm outperforms the NSGA II.

The traditional operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir has mainly focused on water for flood control, power generation, navigation, water supply, and recreation, and given less attention to the negative impacts of reservoir operation on the river ecosystem. In order to reduce the negative influence of reservoir operation, ecological operation of the reservoir should be studied with a focus on maintaining a healthy river ecosystem. This study considered ecological operation targets, including maintaining the river environmental flow and protecting the spawning and reproduction of the Chinese sturgeon and four major Chinese carps. Using flow data from 1900 to 2006 at the Yichang gauging station as the control station data for the Yangtze River, the minimal and optimal river environmental flows were analyzed, and eco-hydrological targets for the Chinese sturgeon and four major Chinese carps in the Yangtze River were calculated. This paper proposes a reservoir ecological operation model, which comprehensively considers flood control, power generation,navigation, and the ecological environment. Three typical periods, wet, normal, and dry years, were selected, and the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to analyze the model. The results show that ecological operation modes have different effects on the economic benefit of the hydropower station, and the reservoir ecological operation model can simulate the flood pulse for the requirements of spawning of the Chinese sturgeon and four major Chinese carps. According to the results, by adopting a suitable re-operation scheme, the hydropower benefit of the reservoir will not decrease dramatically while the ecological demand is met. The results provide a reference for designing reasonable operation schemes for the Three Gorges Reservoir.
