Centering on the core objective of low‑nitrogen emission reduction and combined with the actual operating conditions of the unit, it analyzes the influencing mechanism of boiler combustion parameters on NOₓ formation, furnace combustion stability and boiler thermal efficiency. By virtue of big‑data acquisition and intelligent algorithms, a multi‑objective intelligent optimization model for boiler combustion parameters is constructed, and dynamic optimization research is conducted on key parameters such as excess air coefficient, primary‑secondary air ratio, burner tilt angle and furnace oxygen content.Comparative analyses of field tests and data simulations verify that the optimized intelligent regulation system can effectively suppress the generation of thermal NOₓ and fuel‑NOₓ in the furnace, drastically reduce flue gas pollutant emissions, improve in‑furnace combustion conditions and lower incomplete combustion losses. Test results demonstrate that after the implementation of the intelligent optimization scheme, NOₓ emission concentrations decrease significantly across all load ranges of the unit, and boiler thermal efficiency is improved effectively. This research resolves industrial pain points of traditional manual adjustment including low precision, prominent hysteresis and poor working‑condition adaptability, and provides technical reference and practical experience for low‑nitrogen and high‑efficiency combustion optimization of similar thermal power generating units.展开更多

Design optimization is a critical way to improve the performance of the forming system, exploit the advantages of high productivity, high product quality, low production cost and short time to market and develop precise, accurate, green, and intelligent(smart) plastic forming technology. However, plastic forming is quite complicated, relating to multi-physics field coupling,multi-factor influence, multi-defect constraint, and triple nonlinear, etc., and the design optimization for plastic forming involves multi-objective, multi-parameter, multi-constraint, nonlinear,high-dimensionality, non-continuity, time-varying, and uncertainty, etc. Therefore, how to achieve accurate and efficient design optimization of products, equipment, tools/dies, and processing as well as materials characterization has always been the research frontier and focus in the field of engineering and manufacturing. In recent years, with the rapid development of computing science, data science and internet of things(Io T), the theories and technologies of design optimization have attracted more and more attention, and developed rapidly in forming process. Accordingly, this paper first introduced the framework of design optimization for plastic forming. Then, focusing on the key problems of design optimization, such as numerical model and optimization algorithm,this paper summarized the research progress on the development and application of the theories and technologies about design optimization in forming process, including deterministic and uncertain optimization. Moreover, the applicability of various modeling methods and optimization algorithms was elaborated in solving the design optimization problems of plastic forming. Finally, considering the development trends of forming technology, this paper discusses some challenges of design optimization that may need to be solved and faced in forming process.展开更多

摘要Well-designed rural road environments can guide drivers to adopt reasonable driving behaviors,thereby significantly improving the driving experience and ensuring road safety.Existing methods for optimizing rural road environments mainly rely on expert knowledge,have low automation degrees,and are limited in efficiency and accuracy.Therefore,this study aims to propose an intelligent optimization method for rural road environments by using image generation technology.Using environment images from a naturalistic driving dataset,the area and location information of semantic components(e.g.,lane markings,vegetation,guardrails,and traffic signs)in rural road environments are extracted,and their impacts on driving speed are analyzed based on explainable machine learning(extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)and Shapley additive explanations(SHAP)).These impacts are then utilized to determine how to adjust and optimize the road environment components at appropriate locations(i.e.,obtain the optimization scheme).Then,a novel image generation technique,Diffusion model,is employed to establish an intelligent optimization method,which can directly generate optimized images of rural road environments.Compared with traditional manual mapping and other popular image generation algorithms such as CycleGAN,the method proposed in this study has the advantages of high efficiency,labor saving,and superior image generation quality.This study can facilitate the design and optimization of rural road environments and enhance rural road safety in a more intelligent way.

摘要Extended reach wells(ERWs)can efficiently develop offshore satellite oilfields,reduce development costs and improve economic benefits.However,owing to the complex geological conditions,it is difficult to determine the drilling parameters of extended reach drilling,which greatly restricts the rate of penetration(ROP)and increases the cost of drilling operations.In this paper,a new intelligent optimization method for drilling parameters of ERWs based on mechanical specific energy(MSE)and machine learning is proposed.Unlike conventional approaches,this method combines an ensemble regression(ER)model for predicting ROP with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II(NSGA-II)to optimize multiple objectives,including MSE,ROP,and unit footage cost(UFC).The results show that through the intelligent optimization of drilling parameters for extended reach drilling wells in Block M of Bohai Oilfield,the two decision variables of the weight on bit(WOB)and rotations per minute(RPM)are increased,MSE is constantly converging or even equal to the confined compressive strength(CCS)of the rock,UFC is reduced by nearly 51.57%,and ROP is increased by approximately 31.88%.The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in enhancing drilling efficiency and reducing operational costs,offering an innovative solution for the optimization of drilling parameters in ERWs.
摘要Utility-scale PV plants increasingly operate under partial shading,soiling,temperature swings,and rapid irradiance ramps that depress yield and challenge stability on weak grids.This critical review addresses those conditions by(i)unifying a stressor-to-method taxonomy that links field stressors to global intelligent MPPT(metaheuristics and learning-based trackers)and to advanced inverter controls(adaptive/MPC and grid-forming),(ii)standardizing metrics and reporting aligned with IEC 61724-1 and IEEE 1547/1547.1 to enable fair,reproducible comparisons,and(iii)framing MPPT and grid support as a co-design problem with a DT→HIL→Field validation pathway and seedable scenarios.We identify persistent gaps—fragmented partial-shading benchmarks,limited low-SCR testing,and scarce field-grade validation—and compile a quantitative synthesis:global soiling typically reduces annual production by≈3%–5%,and hybrid/learning MPPT frequently report≈99%tracking efficiency under PSC in simulation/HIL studies.To demonstrate practical relevance,we validate the framework on a seeded scenario library:DRL trackers achieve medianηMPPT≈0.996 with t95≈0.19 s and Hybrid trackers≈0.992/0.26 s,outperforming Metaheuristics(≈0.984/0.42 s);at SCR=2.5,grid-forming control raises VRI from~0.78(tuned GFL)to~0.95 while keeping THD within 2.5%–3.2%,with all stacks meeting IEEE-1547.1 Category-II ride-through.The resulting taxonomy,standards-aligned reporting,and open seeds provide a replicable basis for comparable,grid-relevant benchmarking and clear guidance for real-world design and operations.

摘要Aiming at the problem of low node coverage during node deployment in wireless sensor network(WSN),an improved artificial rabbit optimization algorithm incorporating particle swarm optimization(ARO-PSO)is proposed for network coverage optimization.ARO-PSO successfully combines the stochastic characteristics of ARO and the global characteristics of PSO.Firstly,to optimize the quality of the initial population,Sine chaos mapping is introduced to initialize the population;secondly,to better balance the exploration and exploitation,adaptive settings are made;finally,combined with the characteristics of the ARO energy factor,a population decreasing strategy is introduced to further accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm.Experimental and analytical comparisons are made with ARO and PSO and 6 other excellent optimizers on 13 benchmark functions.The results show that ARO-PSO largely outperforms the original algorithm.Finally,ARO-PSO is applied to WSN coverage optimization experiments in 2D and 3D environments,and the proposed algorithm exhibits higher network coverage and improves the monitoring quality of the network compared to standard ARO and PSO and other state-of-the-art algorithms.The experimental results fully demonstrate the superiority of the ARO-PSO-based WSN node deployment optimization method.

摘要To study the deep rock strength,this paper proposes a five-parameter deviatoric function to modify the deviatoric function of the Hoek-Brown(HB)criterion introduces an intelligent optimization algorithm(IOA)to determine the material parameters,thereby constructing a modified three-dimensional(3D)HB criterion,namely MMCHB criterion.The MMCHB criterion avoids the defects of the traditional HB criterion,which neither considers the Intermediate principal stress(IPS)nor meets the smoothness requirement,and overcomes the shortcomings of parameter determination based on conventional methods,which can lead to a single deviatoric plane envelope shape.This modified criterion can be degenerated into the HB criterion under triaxial compression and tension.The proposed criterion is verified using true triaxial test data for six types of intact rock,and the modified 3D HB criteria are selected for comparative study.The results show that the proposed criterion under the IOA has the best prediction error for the six rock types,ranging from 1.6636% to 3.4023%.Overall,the MMCHB criterion outperforms the existing modified 3D HB criteria in prediction.Based on the proposed MMCHB criterion,an intelligent prediction system is developed,which provides a new approach for intelligent prediction of deep rock strength and dynamic construction of rock material parameters.

摘要A novel intelligent optimization algorithm inspired by nature,called sea otter optimization algorithm(SOOA),is proposed.The SOOA simulates the natural behaviors of sea otters,such as using tactile senses to search for food in seawater,grooming their fur,feeding with the aid of stones,and escaping from danger.In the exploration stage,a wetness factor is introduced to control the behavior of sea otters in foraging and grooming;a danger factor is introduced to control the behavior of sea otters in feeding and avoiding dangers in the exploitation stage,and the behaviors of sea otters in responding to different dangers are mathematically modeled.The proposed algorithm is compared with 9 well-known intelligent optimization algorithms,and evaluated in 13 benchmark functions as well as wireless sensor network coverage optimization problems to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.The experimental results show that the node coverage after SOOA optimization reaches 91.2%in 2D environment and 90.47%in 3D environment.Compared with other algorithms,SOOA is superior and possesses the ability to solve complex optimization problems.
摘要Credit risk is one of the main risks faced by commercial banks.Credit risk management includes risk identification,assessment,and early warning,among which risk assessment is fundamental and key.Currently,research on credit risk assessment in China is still in its developing stage,and the precision of measuring credit risk needs improvement.Among various evaluation methods,the Kealhofer,McQuown,and Vasicek model(KMV model)has shown good practical application and is relatively suitable for the national conditions of China.However,it still has some flaws.To address the issue of insufficient external validity in the default point parameter settings of the KMV model,the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm is used to optimize these parameters,and the Particle Swarm Optimization-Grey Wolf Optimization(PSO-GWO)algorithm is integrated to construct the Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization-KMV Model(APSO-KMV model)and the PSO-GWO-KMV model.Based on an empirical study comparing real data from 5,234 companies,it was found that the original KMV model had an Area Under the Curve(AUC)value of 0.7362,accuracy of 0.2610,and binary cross-entropy loss of 0.7006;the PSO-KMV model had a shortterm debt coefficient?of 0.0496,a long-term debt coefficient?of 0.2508,an AUC value of 0.9994,accuracy of 0.9996,and binary cross-entropy loss of 4.1990;the PSO-GWO-KMV model had a coefficient?of 0.0496 and a value?of 0.2690,an AUC value of 0.9987,accuracy of 0.7603,and binary cross-entropy loss of 4.0804.The optimized KMV model showed a significant improvement in predictive accuracy.

摘要To realize Industry 5.0,manufacturers face various optimization problems that seldom appear in isolation.Evolutionary MultiTasking(EMT)is an effective method to solve multiple related problems by extracting and utilizing common knowledge.Knowledge transfer is the key to the effectiveness of EMT.Existing EMT methods mainly focus on designing effective intertask learning methods and ignore the fact that provided knowledge's appropriateness also has a significant effect on EMT's performance.There is plentiful knowledge in assistant tasks,and knowledge transfer may not work well and even lead to a negative effect if useless knowledge is selected to guide target tasks.EMT is thus confronted with a challenge to find appropriate knowledge.This work proposes an efficient knowledge classification-assisted EMT framework to identify and select valuable knowledge from assistant tasks.During the evolution process,better-performing candidates are supposed to have advantages in exploitation.Therefore,assistant individuals that are similar to better-performing target individuals are used to provide positive knowledge.Specifically,the target sub-population is divided into different levels and then a classifier is trained to divide assistant sub-population.Considering that target and assistant sub-populations have different characteristics,we use domain adaptation to reduce their distribution discrepancies.In this way,the trained classifier can classify assistant individuals more accurately,and truly useful knowledge can be selected for target tasks.The superior performance of our proposed framework over state-of-the-art algorithms is verified via a series of benchmark problems.

摘要Performance-based warranties(PBWs)are widely used in industry and manufacturing.Given that PBW can impose financial burdens on manufacturers,rational maintenance decisions are essential for expanding profit margins.This paper proposes an optimization model for PBW decisions for systems affected by Gamma degradation processes,incorporating periodic inspection.A system performance degradation model is established.Preventive maintenance probability and corrective renewal probability models are developed to calculate expected warranty costs and system availability.A benefits function,which includes incentives,is constructed to optimize the initial and subsequent inspection intervals and preventive maintenance thresholds,thereby maximizing warranty profit.An improved sparrow search algorithm is developed to optimize the model,with a case study on large steam turbine rotor shafts.The results suggest the optimal PBW strategy involves an initial inspection interval of approximately 20 months,with subsequent intervals of about four months,and a preventive maintenance threshold of approximately 37.39 mm wear.When compared to common cost-minimization-based condition maintenance strategies and PBW strategies that do not differentiate between initial and subsequent inspection intervals,the proposed PBW strategy increases the manufacturer’s profit by 1%and 18%,respectively.Sensitivity analyses provide managerial recommendations for PBW implementation.The PBW strategy proposed in this study significantly increases manufacturers’profits by optimizing inspection intervals and preventive maintenance thresholds,and manufacturers should focus on technological improvement in preventive maintenance and cost control to further enhance earnings.

摘要Plastic forming is one of enabling and fundamental technologies in advanced manufacturing chains. Design optimization is a critical way to improve the performance of the forming system, exploit the advantages of high productivity, high product quality, low production cost and short time to market and develop precise, accurate, green, and intelligent(smart) plastic forming technology. However, plastic forming is quite complicated, relating to multi-physics field coupling,multi-factor influence, multi-defect constraint, and triple nonlinear, etc., and the design optimization for plastic forming involves multi-objective, multi-parameter, multi-constraint, nonlinear,high-dimensionality, non-continuity, time-varying, and uncertainty, etc. Therefore, how to achieve accurate and efficient design optimization of products, equipment, tools/dies, and processing as well as materials characterization has always been the research frontier and focus in the field of engineering and manufacturing. In recent years, with the rapid development of computing science, data science and internet of things(Io T), the theories and technologies of design optimization have attracted more and more attention, and developed rapidly in forming process. Accordingly, this paper first introduced the framework of design optimization for plastic forming. Then, focusing on the key problems of design optimization, such as numerical model and optimization algorithm,this paper summarized the research progress on the development and application of the theories and technologies about design optimization in forming process, including deterministic and uncertain optimization. Moreover, the applicability of various modeling methods and optimization algorithms was elaborated in solving the design optimization problems of plastic forming. Finally, considering the development trends of forming technology, this paper discusses some challenges of design optimization that may need to be solved and faced in forming process.
