Its nonconvexity nature leads to existence of more than one optimum and computational difficulty for traditional algorithms to find the global optimum. Compared with deterministic algorithms, evolutionary computation provides a promising approach to tackle this problem. In this paper, a mathematical model of multi-stream heat exchangers network synthesis problem is setup. Different from the assumption of isothermal mixing of stream splits and thus linearity constraints of Yee et al., non-isothermal mixing is supported. As a consequence, nonlinear constraints are resulted and nonconvexity of the objective function is added. To solve the mathematical model, an algorithm named GA/SA (parallel genetic/simulated annealing algorithm) is detailed for application to the multi-stream heat exchanger network synthesis problem. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated with three examples and the obtained solutions indicate the presented approach is effective for multi-stream HENS.展开更多

An algorithm is developed for identifying vibration dynamic characteristics by means of hybrid genetic algorithm. From the measured dynamic responses of a hydro generator, an appropriate estimation algorithm is needed to identify the loading parameters, including the main frequencies and amplitudes of vibrating forces. In order to identify parameters in an efficient and robust manner, an optimization method is proposed that combines genetic algorithm with simulated annealing and elitist strategy. The hybrid genetic algorithm is then used to tackle an ill-posed problem of parameter identification, in which the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method is confirmed by its comparison with actual observation data.展开更多

The coding pattern based on the number of routing paths is used. A fitness function that is computed easily and makes algorithm quickly convergent is proposed. A new approach that defines the HGA's parameters is provided. The simulation shows that the approach can increase largely the convergent ratio, and the fitting values of the parameters of this algorithm are different from that of the original algorithms. The optimal mutation probability of HGA equals 0.50 in HGA in the experiment, but that equals 0.07 in SGA. It has been concluded that the population size has a significant influence on the HGA's convergent ratio when it's mutation probability is bigger. The algorithm with a small population size has a high average convergent rate. The population size has little influence on HGA with the lower mutation probability.展开更多
