To solve the problems of large current stress, difficult soft-switching of all switches, and slow dynamic response of dual active bridge converters, a multi-objective unified optimal control strategy based on triple-phase-shift control was proposed. The forward power flow global modes of triple-phase-shift control were analyzed, and three high-efficiency modes were selected to establish the analytical models of current stress and soft-switching. Combined with these models, the optimal solutions in different modes were derived by using the cost function-optimization equation to overcome the limitation of the Lagrange multiplier method, such that the DAB converter achieved the minimum current stress, and all switches operated in the soft-switching state over the entire power range. At the same time, the virtual power component was introduced in the phase-shift ratio combination, which improved the dynamic response of output voltage under the input voltage or load steps changed by power control. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can optimize the performance of the DAB converter from three aspects, such as current stress, soft-switching, and dynamic response, which achieves multi-objective optimization of the steady-state and dynamic performance of DAB converters.

Abstract This paper presents a method for determining an optimal control strategy for the real time control of flow in combined sewer systems. The objective of this control is to minimize weighted flow diversions from the sewer system to the receiving waters during storm periods. The elements of a control system for combined sewers are described first. This is followed by a development of a reservoir model for combined sewer systems having weir and orifice controls at the regulator structures. An example, verified by the variational calculus, is given of an optimal control strategy that will minimize the weighted overflows from a system of three reservoirs. Examination of this optimal strategy and others presented in the literature shows that the optimal control strategy for this type of problem typically falls on constraint boundaries and includes jumps in the orifice controls from maximum to minimum positions. By formulating these common operating procedures into a set of rules it is shown that if the times at which the jumps in the orifice controls occur are known, then for a given set of inflow hydrographs the control strategy is completely defined. The determination of an optimal control is then reduced to finding the optimal times for the jumps in the orifice controls to occur. A procedure for this optimization is outlined and the results of its application to a system of ten reservoirs are presented. It is concluded that the method presented for the determination of an optimal control logic would be suitable for a system containing up to twenty control points and would ensure maximum utilization of available system storage capacity.

This paper presents perturbation parameters for tuning of multi-objective optimization differential evolution and its application to dynamic system modeling. The perturbation of the proposed algorithm was composed of crossover and mutation operators.  Initially, a set of parameter values was tuned vigorously by executing multiple runs of algorithm for each proposed parameter variation. A set of values for crossover and mutation rates were proposed in executing the algorithm for model structure selection in dynamic system modeling. The model structure selection was one of the procedures in the system identification technique. Most researchers focused on the problem in selecting the parsimony model as the best represented the dynamic systems. Therefore, this problem needed two objective functions to overcome it, i.e. minimum predictive error and model complexity.  One of the main problems in identification of dynamic systems is to select the minimal model from the huge possible models that need to be considered. Hence, the important concepts in selecting good and adequate model used in the proposed algorithm were elaborated, including the implementation of the algorithm for modeling dynamic systems. Besides, the results showed that multi-objective optimization differential evolution performed better with tuned perturbation parameters.
