Complex Optimization

System identification is a complex optimization problem which has recently attracted the attention in the field of science and engineering. In particular, the use of infinite impulse response (IIR) models for identification is preferred over their equivalent FIR (finite impulse response) models since the former yield more accurate models of physical plants for real world applications. However, IIR structures tend to produce multimodal error surfaces whose cost functions are significantly difficult to minimize. Evolutionary computation techniques (ECT) are used to estimate the solution to complex optimization problems. They are often designed to meet the requirements of particular problems because no single optimization algorithm can solve all problems competitively. Therefore, when new algorithms are proposed, their relative efficacies must be appropriately evaluated. Several comparisons among ECT have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, they suffer from one limitation: their conclusions are based on the performance of popular evolutionary approaches over a set of synthetic functions with exact solutions and well-known behaviors, without considering the application context or including recent developments. This study presents the comparison of various evolutionary computation optimization techniques applied to IIR model identification. Results over several models are presented and statistically validated.

Crossover And Mutation

The objective of this chapter is to optimize the photovoltaic power plant considering the effects of variable shading on time and weather. For that purpose, an optimization scheme based on the simulator from Sanchez Reinoso, Milone, and Buitrago (2013) and on evolutionary computation techniques is proposed. Regarding the latter, the representation used and the proposed initialization mechanism are explained. Afterwards, the proposed algorithms that allow carrying out crossover and mutation operations for the problem are detailed. In addition, the designed fitness function is presented. Lastly, experiments are conducted with the proposed optimization methodology and the results obtained are discussed.
