본 논문에서는 계단응답으로부터 시 지연을 갖는 선형 연속시스템을 식별하기 위해 HS 최적화 알고리즘을 적용에 관하여 연구하였다. 인식 모델은 1차 시 지연 모델 (FOPDT)로써, FOPDT은 많은 화학 공정과 HAVC 공정에 실효성이 있으며 PID 튜닝에도 적합하다. 최근에 개발된 HS 알고리즘은 완벽한 하모니를 찾아가는 음악적 과정을 개념화 한 것이다. 수학을 기반으로 하는 전통적 기법과 달리 HS는 확률적인 방법을 사용하므로 미분과 같은 수학적 접근을 필요로 하지 않는다. 제시된 인식 방법의 효과를 입증하기 위해 많은 수치 예를 수행하여 결과를 제시하였다.

PURPOSES : We propose a parameter-setting-free harmony-search (PSF-HS) algorithm to determine the individual sound power levels of noise sources in the cases of industrial or road noise environment. METHODS :In terms of using methods, we use PSF-HS algorithm because the optimization parameters cannot be fixed through finding the global minimum. RESULTS:We found that the main advantage of the PSF-HS heuristic algorithm is its ability to find the best global solution of individual sound power levels through a nonlinear complex function, even though the parameters of the original harmony-search (HS) algorithm are not fixed. In an industrial and road environment, high noise exposure is harmful, and can cause nonauditory effects that endanger worker and passenger safety. This study proposes the PSF-HS algorithm for determining the PWL of an individual machine (or vehicle), which is a useful technique for industrial (or road) engineers to identify the dominant noise source in the workplace (or road field testing case). CONCLUSIONS : This study focuses on providing an efficient method to determine sound power levels (PWLs) and the dominant noise source while multiple machines (or vehicles) are operating, for comparison with the results of previous research. This paper can extend the state-of-the-art in a heuristic search algorithm to determine the individual PWLs of machines as well as loud machines (or vehicles), based on the parameter-setting-free harmony-search (PSF-HS) algorithm. This algorithm can be applied into determining the dominant noise sources of several vehicles in the cases of road cross sections and congested housing complex.

Most engineering optimization are based on numerical linear and nonlinear programming methods that require substantial gradient information and usually seek to improve the solution in the neighborhood of a starting point. These algorithm, however, reveal a limited approach to complicated real-world optimization problems. If there is more than one local optimum in the problem, the result may depend on the selection of an initial point, and the obtained optimal solution may not necessarily be the global optimum. This paper describes a new harmony search(HS) meta-heuristic algorithm-based approach for structural size optimization problems with continuous design variables. This recently developed HS algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. Two classical space truss optimization problems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the HS algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed approach is a powerful search and optimization technique that may yield better solutions to structural engineering problems than those obtained using current algorithms.

This paper presents an application of Harmony Search (HM) meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for optimal operation of microgrid system. The microgrid system considered in this paper consists of a wind turbine, a diesel generator, and a fuel cell. An one day load profile which divided 20 minute data and wind resource for wind turbine generator were used for the study. In optimization, the HS algorithm is used for solving the problem of microgrid system operation which a various generation resources are available to meet the customer load demand with minimum operating cost. The application of HS algorithm to optimal operation of microgrid proves its effectiveness to determine optimally the generating resources without any differences of load mismatch and having its nature of fast convergency time as compared to other optimization method.

This paper presents a variant of the Harmony Search Algorithm (HS) and its application to discrete optimization. The main proposed modifications regarding original HS are related to stopping criterion and reinitialization of population, called Harmony Memory. In order to investigate the efficiency of the algorithm, it was applied for obtaining optimal sections of reinforced concrete columns subjected to uniaxial flexural compression. To minimize the cost of the section, the amount and diameters of the reinforcement bars and the dimensions of the columns cross sections were considered as design variables. The obtained results were compared to those generated by other optimization methods. Since, to the examples, Harmony Search reached the same results achieved by Simulated Annealing, some additional analysis are presented in order to compare these methods regarding success rate and number of iterations to reach the optimum.

메타휴리스틱 탐색법은 주어진 정보의 부족 및 시간의 제약을 받는 상황에서 다양한 목적함수를 가진 문제를 해결하기 위해 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 최적화 알고리즘인 Vision Correction Algorithm(VCA)의 성능을 강화한 Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm(HVCA)을 개발하였다. HVCA는 기존의 알고리즘의 성능을 개선하기 위해 두 가지 방법을 적용하였다. 첫 번째 방법으로 사용자가 입력해야 하는 매개변수를 자가적응형 매개변수로 개선하였다. 두 번째 방법으로 Exponential Bandwidth Harmony Search With Centralized Global Search(EBHS-CGS)의 CGS 구조를 HVCA에 추가하였다. CGS 구조의 추가로 인해 HVCA 내부는 CGS와 VCA의 두 가지 구조로 구성되어 있다. 두 가지 구조를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 반복시산을 진행하면서 최적값이 나오는 구조의 선택확률을 증가시키는 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 HVCA의 성능을 확인하기 위해 최적화 문제에 적용하고, 그 결과를 Harmony Search(HS), Improved Harmony Search(IHS) 및 VCA와 비교하여 나타내었다. 적용결과 수학문제와 공학문제에서 HVCA는 HS, IHS 및 VCA보다 최적값 및 100번의 반복실행 중 최적값을 찾는 횟수가 많았으며, 최적값에 수렴하는 반복시산횟수도 낮았다. 이를 통해 HVCA가 성능이 개선되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 HVCA는 적용한 수학문제 및 공학문제 이외에도 많은 분야에 대해 좋은 결과를 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

Many methods have been developed and are in use for structural size optimization problems, In which the cross-sectional areas or sizing variables are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes an efficient optimization method for structures with discrete-sized variables based on the harmony search (HS) meta-heuristic algorithm. The recently developed HS algorithm was conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary In this paper, a discrete search strategy using the HS algorithm is presented in detail and its effectiveness and robustness, as compared to current discrete optimization methods, are demonstrated through a standard truss example. The numerical results reveal that the proposed method is a powerful search and design optimization tool for structures with discrete-sized members, and may yield better solutions than those obtained using current method.

This paper proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, which is improved by making use of the Harmony Search (HS) approach and called HS-PSO algorithm. A computer code is developed for optimal sizing design of non-linear steel frames with various semi-rigid and rigid beam-to-column connections based on the HS-PSO algorithm. The developed code selects suitable sections for beams and columns, from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange W-shapes, such that the minimum total cost, which comprises total member plus connection costs, is obtained. Stress and displacement constraints of AISC-LRFD code together with the size constraints are imposed on the frame in the optimal design procedure. The nonlinear moment-rotation behavior of connections is modeled using the Frye-Morris polynomial model. Moreover, the P-${\Delta}$ effects of beam-column members are taken into account in the non-linear structural analysis. Three benchmark design examples with several types of connections are presented and the results are compared with those of standard PSO and of other researches as well. The comparison shows that the proposed HS-PSO algorithm performs better both than the PSO and the Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) methods.

본 연구에서는 최적화 기법의 하나인 화음탐색법 (HS: Harmony Search)에 클러스터링 기법을 적용하여 개선된 형태의 HS를 제안하였다. HS는 음악의 즉흥연주를 모방하여 개발되었으며 무작위선택, 기억회상, 음조조정의 세 가지 연산을 이용하여 최적해를 반복적으로 탐색해 나간다. 기존의 HS의 경우, 세 가지 연산 중 기억회상을 진행할 때 해집단의 저장 공간인 해저장소 (HM: Harmony Memory)에 있는 해를 선택하는데, 이 과정에서 적합도를 정량화한 목적함수 값에 상관없이 모두 동일한 확률로 해의 선택이 이루어지고, 이에 따라 최적의 해를 탐색하는 속도가 상대적으로 낮다. 본 연구에서 제안한 개선 클러스터링 화음탐색법 (ICHS: Improved Clustering Harmony Search)는 HM에서 목적함수의 값을 기준으로 클러스터링 기법을 적용하여 목적함수 값이 유사한 솔루션들이 하나의 해집단을 형성하도록 클러스터링을 수행한다. 이를 통해 만들어진 클러스터 중 상대적으로 목적함수 값이 우수한 클러스터에는 더 높은 선택 확률을 부여하여, 적합도가 높은 클러스터에 포함된 해의 결정변수가 선택될 확률을 높게 하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 ICHS의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 개발 기법을 기존 논문에서 제시된 수학적 최적화 문제에 적용하였고 우수한 해탐색 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 실제 공학 문제에 대한 적용성 평가를 위해 개발 기법을 대규모 상수도관망 관경최적화 문제에 적용하였다. 상수도관망 최적설계에 대한 ICHS의 적용 결과, 기존 최적화 기법에 비해 우수한 해를 안정적으로 도출할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
