This paper discusses the application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms namely Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Modified NSGA-II (MNSGA-II) for solving the Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem with valve-point loading. The valve-point loading introduce ripples in the input-output characteristics of generating units and make the CEED problem as a non-smooth optimization problem. IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems are taken to validate its effectiveness of NSGA-II and MNSGA-II. To compare the Pareto-front obtained using NSGA-II and MNSGA-II, reference Pareto-front is generated using multiple runs of Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) with weighted sum of objectives. Furthermore, three different performance metrics such as convergence, diversity and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) are calculated for evaluating the closeness of obtained Pareto-fronts. Numerical results reveal that MNSGA-II algorithm performs better than NSGA-II algorithm to solve the CEED problem effectively.

The model-based evolutionary algorithms are divided into three groups: estimation of distribution algorithms, inverse modeling, and surrogate modeling. Existing inverse modeling is mainly applied to solve multi-objective optimization problems and is not suitable for many-objective optimization problems. Some inversed-model techniques, such as the inversed-model of multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, constructed from the Pareto front (PF) to the Pareto solution on nondominated solutions using a random grouping method and Gaussian process, were introduced. However, some of the most efficient inverse models might be eliminated during this procedure. Also, there are challenges, such as the presence of many local PFs and developing poor solutions when the population has no evident regularity. This paper proposes inverse modeling using random forest regression and uniform reference points that map all nondominated solutions from the objective space to the decision space to solve many-objective optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using the benchmark test suite for evolutionary algorithms. The results show an improvement in diversity and convergence performance (quality indicators).

본 연구에서는 부정류 계산모형의 안정적인 매개변수를 선정하기 위하여, 다수 지점의 관측치를 고려한 모형보정의 결과로부터 얻은 파레토 최적화와 최소최대 후회도 방법(minimax regret approach, MRA)을 결합하는 방법을 제안하였다. 여러 지점의 관측치를 고려한 모형의 보정은 다목적 최적화 문제로서, 통합접근법을 적용하여 최적해를 구하였다. 통합접근법은 여러 지점에 대한 가중치를 결합하여 하나의 목적함수를 얻고, 여러 번의 개별 최적화를 수행함으로써 다수의 파레토 최적해들을 구하는 방법이다. 이때 유량에 따른 조도계수의 가변성을 나타내는 두 개의 매개변수로 구성된 관계식을 이용하여 두 구간에 대한 매개변수들을 모형의 추정 대상 매개변수로서 최적화하였다. 이후 각기 다른 홍수사상에 대해 보정과 검증을 수행하였으며 각각에 대한 평가지표의 후회도를 정량화하였고 이를 결합한 결합후회도를 산정하였다. 이를 기준으로 파레토 최적해들의 순위를 결정하였다. 계산결과 추정된 모형의 가변조도계수와 그로부터 얻은 두 개 지점에서의 표준화된 RMSE들은 두 지점에 대한 가중치의 조합에 따라 선택되는 매개변수 값에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 수문 및 수리모형의 다수의 관측지점의 자료를 이용한 매개변수 산정문제에 있어서 안정적인 해를 도출할 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 개념적인 강우-유출모형인 Tank 모형의 매개변수를 산정하기 위한 다목적 유전자알고리즘의 적용성을 평가하는 것이다. 다목적 유전자알고리즘 기법으로는 최근에 가장 많이 사용되는 기법중의 하나인 NSGA-II를 채택하여 Tank 모형과 결합하였으며, 4가지 목적함수(유출용적오차, 평균제곱근 오차, 고수유량 평균제곱근 오차 및 저수유량 평균제곱근 오차)값을 최소화하는 형태의 목적함수를 적용하였다. NSGA-II는 목적함수의 개수가 많아지면 한 번의 실행에 의해 굉장히 많은 수의 파레토최적해를 구하는 단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 구해진 파레토최적해 중에서 어떤 해가 최우선해 인지를 결정해야 할 필요가 있으며, 이러한 고차원적인 의사결정을 위하여 선호적순서화(preference ordering) 기법을 적용하였다. NSGA-II를 이용하여 Tank모형의 매개변수를 추정할 때 초기조건이 최적화과정에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 최소화하기 위해 세대수(generation number)와 개체군의 크기(population size)에 대한 민감도분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 Tank모형의 매개변수 최적화를 위한 세대수와 개체군 크기의 초기 값을 각각 900번과 1000개로 선정하는 것이 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 연결비용 및 메시지 지연시간을 최소화하는 최적 LAM 설계를 위한 파레토 계층-적소 영역 유전자 알고리즘의 응용이다. 이러한 연구과제를 수행하기 위하여 LAN 설계를 위한 적합한 가능해의 표현 방법을 제안하고, LAN 설계 시 선택되는 여러 위상(topology) 형태는 지역적이고, 내선망에 가장 보편적으로 쓰이는 스패닝 트리 형태에 한정하여 유전자 알고리즘을 적용한다. 스패닝 트리를 초기 모집단의 염색체로 표현하기 위해 $Pr\ddot{u}fer$ 수 개념을 이용한다. $Pr\ddot{u}fer$ 수는 간결하면서도 스패닝 트리의 특징을 잘 반영하며 염색체 표현에 적합하다. 유전자 알고리즘에 의해 이중 목적에 맞는 적응도 평가함수의 산출하고, 파레토 계층-적소영역 선별 알고리즘을 사용하며, 적합한 유전연산자를 적용함으로써 다양한 해공간을 탐색하여 최적 LAN을 하여, 제안되었던 알고리즘이 꽤 짧은 시간에 다목적 LAN 설계 문제의 좋은 해답들을 제공할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The multi-reservoir operation problem for efficient utilization of water resources involves conflicting objectives, and the problem can be solved by varying weight coefficient on objective functions. Accordingly, decision makers need to choose appropriate weight coefficients balancing the trade-offs among multiple objectives. Although the appropriateness of the weight coefficients may depend on the total amount of water inflow, reservoir operating policy may not be changed to a certain degree for different hydrological conditions on inflow. Therefore, we propose to use fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to rank the weight coefficients in consideration of the inflow variation. In this approach, we generate a set of Paretooptimal solutions by applying different weight coefficients on Coordinated Multi-reservoir Operating Model. Then, we rank the Pareto-optimal solutions or the corresponding weight coefficients by using Fuzzy DEA model. With the proposed approach, we can suggest the best weight coefficients that can produce the appropriate Pareto-optimal solution considering the uncertainty of inflow, whereas the general DEA model cannot pinpoint the best weight coefficients.

Energy systems working coherently in different conditions may not have a specific design which can provide optimal performance. A system working for a longer period at lower efficiency implies higher energy consumption. In this effort, a methodology demonstrated by a jet pump design and optimization via numerical modeling for fluid dynamics and implementation of an evolutionary algorithm for the optimization shows a reduction in computational costs. The jet pump inherently has a low efficiency because of improper mixing of primary and secondary fluids, and multiple momentum and energy transfer phenomena associated with it. The high fidelity solutions were obtained through a validated numerical model to construct an approximate function through surrogate analysis. Pareto-optimal solutions for two objective functions, i.e., secondary fluid pressure head and primary fluid pressure-drop, were generated through a multi-objective genetic algorithm. For the jet pump geometry, a design space of several design variables was discretized using the Latin hypercube sampling method for the optimization. The performance analysis of the surrogate models shows that the combined surrogates perform better than a single surrogate and the optimized jet pump shows a higher performance. The approach can be implemented in other energy systems to find a better design.

The present work focuses multi-objective optimization of blade sweep for a Wells turbine. The blade-sweep parameters at the mid and the tip sections are selected as design variables. The peak-torque coefficient and the corresponding efficiency are the objective functions, which are maximized. The numerical analysis has been carried out by solving 3D RANS equations based on k-w SST turbulence model. Nine design points are selected within a design space and the simulations are run. Based on the computational results, surrogate-based weighted average models are constructed and the population based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm gave Pareto optimal solutions. The peak-torque coefficient and the corresponding efficiency are enhanced, and the results are analysed using CFD simulations. Two extreme designs in the Pareto solutions show that the peak-torque-coefficient is increased by 28.28% and the corresponding efficiency is decreased by 13.5%. A detailed flow analysis shows the separation phenomena change the turbine performance.

Laidback fan shaped film-cooling hole is formulated numerically and optimized with the help of three-dimensional numerical analysis, surrogate methods, and the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. As Pareto optimal front produces a set of optimal solutions, the trends of objective functions with design variables are predicted by hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The problem is defined by four geometric design variables, the injection angle of the hole, the lateral expansion angle of the diffuser, the forward expansion angle of the hole, and the ratio of the length to the diameter of the hole, to maximize the film-cooling effectiveness compromising with the aerodynamic loss. The objective function values are numerically evaluated through Reynolds- averaged Navier-Stokes analysis at the designs that are selected through the Latin hypercube sampling method. Using these numerical simulation results, the Response Surface Approximation model are constructed for each objective function and a hybrid multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is applied to obtain the Pareto optimal front. The clustered points from Pareto optimal front were evaluated by flow analysis. These designs give enhanced objective function values in comparison with the experimental designs.
