This paper proposes an optimal design scheme to reduce the noise of the engine cooling fan by adapting Kriging with two meta-heuristic techniques. An engineering model has been developed for the prediction of the noise spectrum of the engine cooling fan. The noise of the fan is expressed as the discrete frequency noise peaks at the BPF and its harmonics and line spectrum at the broad band by noise generation mechanisms. The object of this paper is to find the optimal design for noise reduction of the engine cooling fan. We firstly show a comparison of the measured and calculated noise spectra of the fan for the validation of the noise prediction program. Orthogonal array is applied as design of experiments because it is suitable for Kriging. With these simulated data, we can estimate a correlation parameter of Kriging by solving the nonlinear problem with genetic algorithm and find an optimal level for the noise reduction of the cooling fan by optimizing Kriging estimates with simulated annealing. We notice that this optimal design scheme gives noticeable results. Therefore, an optimal design for the cooling fan is proposed by reducing the noise of its system.

In order to design a low complexity and high performance SOVA decoder for Turbo Codes, we need to analyze the decoding performance with respect to several important design parameters and find out optimal values for them. Thus, we use a scaling factor of soft output and a update depth as the parameters and analyze their effect on the BER performance of the SOVA decoder. finally, we shows the optimal values of them for maximum decoding performance of SOVA decoder for 3GPP complied Turbo codes.

The purpose of test fixture is to mechanically couple energy from a shaker into a test specimen. And then it is necessary to design a fixture of shich the fundamental natural frequency is over than one half times as high as the highest frequency of interest. But the dynamic behavior of vibration test fixture is usually different from, often far different from, what has been calculated. In this paper, the optimal dimensionless frequency parameter, ${lambda}$'s, are calculated from the test results of a various and complex shaped fixtures.

This paper presents a design method of synchronous generator excitation controller using self-tuning PID algorithm. Controller parameter is determined by using adaptive control theory in order to maintain optimal operation of generator under the various operating conditions. To determine the optimal parameter of controller. minimum variance algorithm using the recursive leastsquare(RLS) indentification method is adopted and the difference between the speed deviation with weighted factor and voltage deviation is used as the input signal of adaptive controller, which provides good damping and conversion characteristics. The results tested on a single machine infinite bus system verify that the proposed controller has better dynamic performances than conventional controller.

This paper describes the optimal PSS parameter design for the PSS of EX2000 excitation system. The suggested tuning technique uses the model-based PSS tuning method which have three steps: generation system modeling, determination of PSS parameters, and on-site test. Using this method, the PSS parameters of EX2000 system in Dangjin T/P #4 was designed and verified by linear analysis program, PSS/E, and EMTDC/PSCAD.

The PID controller is one of the most popular devices for control systems and the adjustment of its parameters has been generally accomplished by semi-empirical rules and has been considered only in the view of improvement of the control performance. But in modern control theory, a quadratic form is introduced as a criterion function which considers not only to improve quality of control but also to save energy required for the control. In this paper, authors propose a method of the parameter adjustment of the PID controller by means of maximum principle minimizing the quadratic criterion function and establish a link between the conventional parameter adjustment method and the technique of the modern optimal control theory in the design of a PID controller.

In this paper, a robust $H_{\infty}$ optimal design problem under a structure-specified PSS is investigated for power systems with parameter variation and disturbance uncertainties. Immune algorithm is employed for optimization method of PSS parameter. It is shown that the proposed $H_{\infty}$-PSS tuned using immune algorithm is more robust than conventional PSS.

The form accuracy of parts has become an important parameter. Therefore, dimensional tolerance and geometric tolerance are used in the design stage to satisfy required quality and functions of parts. But the informations on the machining conditions, which can satisfy the assigned geometric tolerance in design, are insufficient. The objectives of this research are to study the effects of the grinding parameters such as traverse speed, work speed, depth of cut, and dwell time on the after-ground workpiece shape, and to find out the major parameters among them. The results are as follows, The effects of work speed and depth of cut on workpiece shape are negligible compared with the effect of traverse speed. There is an optimal dwell time depending on the traverse speed. The optimal dwell time is decreasing as the traverse speed is increased.

This paper presents a speed controller based on an adaptive fuzzy algorithm for high performance permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives under parameter and load variations. In many speed tracking control systems PI controller has been used due to its simple structure and easy of design. PI controller, however, suffers from the electrical machine parameter variations and disturbances. In order to improve the tracking control performance under load variations, the PI controller parameters are modified during operation by adaptive fuzzy method. This method based on optimal fuzzy logic system has simple structure and computational simplicity. It needs only sample data which is obtained by optimal controller off-line. As the sample data implemented in the adaptive fuzzy system can be modified or extended, a flexible control system can be obtained. Simulation results show the usefulness of the proposed controller.
