In order to improve the system operating efficiency furthest, the simultaneous optimization of pump start up scheme and pipe network is necessary. Aiming at the multi-source and looped water injection system, the mathematical model for simultaneous optimization is established, in which the operating energy consumption and investment are served as objective function, the start-up and stop status, flow rate of pump, and the connection status, diameter of pipeline are taken as design variables. Aiming at the features of the simultaneous optimization problem, a dual generalized chromosome coding was proposed, the binary coding, real number coding, and integer coding are combined together. In order to improve the local searching ability, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is combined with the genetic algorithm. The method of initial solutions creating and many crossover and mutation methods that adapted to the optimize problem are designed. The example shows that the algorithm is efficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
