GHHAGA for Environmental Systems Optimization

Abstract

The global optimization of complicated nonlinear systems is mathematically intractable and such an optimization extensively exists in science and engineering. Once an objective function has many local extreme points, the traditional optimization methods may not obtain the global optimization efficiently. A genetic algorithm (GA) based on the genetic evolution of a species provides a robust procedure to explore broad and promising regions of solutions and to avoid being trapped at the local optimization. However, the computational amount is very large. To reduce computations and to improve the computational accuracy, a method based on the two-point crossover and two-point mutation of the hybrid accelerating genetic algorithm with Hooke-Jeeves searching operator is developed for systems optimization. With the shrinking of searching range, the method gradually directs to optimal result by the excellent individuals obtained by Gray code genetic algorithm embedding with Hooke-Jeeves searching operator and Hooke-Jeeves algorithm. The efficiency of the new algorithm is verified by application of several test functions. The comparison of our GA with six existing other algorithms is presented. This algorithm overcomes the Hamming-cliff phenomena in other existing genetic methods, and is proved to be very efficient for the given environmental systems optimization.

A Review on Optimization Modeling of Energy Systems Planning and GHG Emission Mitigation under Uncertainty

“…The Time-stepped Energy System Optimization Model (TESOM) was proposed as a consecutive BESOM-type optimization modeling system for supporting energy management [55]. The Market Allocation Model (MARKAL) was developed as a large-scale, technology-oriented energy-activity analysis model [5,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. Multiple Energy System of Australia (MENSA) was developed to identify the optimal combinations of demand-and supply-side technologies with the objective of the lowest economic cost [66][67][68].…”

A Two-Factor Autoregressive Moving Average Model Based on Fuzzy Fluctuation Logical Relationships

“…Moreover, Egrioglu [24] employed generic algorithms to establish fuzzy relations. Some other soft computing techniques have been used to forecast in many studies [25][26][27]. In fact, fuzzy time series forecasting studies are frequently based on fuzzy autoregressive (AR) structures [28][29][30][31][32].…”

Neurogenetic Algorithm for Solving Combinatorial Engineering Problems

“…Genetic algorithms have also been used for the generation of regression curves, 2 Journal of Applied Mathematics protein folding, and structure elucidation and for system optimization 2-4 . Yang et al [5][6][7][8] utilized GA in real applications of various soft-computing techniques in different fields.…”
