Optimization Problem Formulation

Protecting inverter-interfaced microgrids is challenging as conventional time-overcurrent protection becomes unusable due to the lack of fault current. There is a great need for novel protective relaying methods that enable the application of protection coordination on microgrids, thereby allowing for microgrids with larger areas and numbers of loads while not compromising reliable power delivery. Tools for modeling and analyzing such microgrids under fault conditions are necessary in order to help design such protective relaying and operate microgrids in a configuration that can be protected, though there is currently a lack of tools applicable to inverter-interfaced microgrids. This paper introduces the concept of applying an optimization problem formulation to the topic of inverter-interfaced microgrid fault modeling, and discusses how it can be employed both for simulating short-circuits and as a set of constraints for optimal microgrid operation to ensure protective device coordination.

Optimization Problem Formulation

A continuation method for bifurcation tracking is presented based on the proposed optimization problem formulation which is designed to locate the bifurcation periodic solution. The bifurcation detection problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem. The nonlinear constraints of the optimization problem are imposed on the shooting function and bifurcation conditions derived from the Floquet theory whereas the objective function associated with the pseudo-arclength correlation equation is devised to solution continuation. The proposed optimization formulation is integrated with the prediction–correction strategy to achieve bifurcation tracking. Two numerical examples about the Jeffcott rotor and the nonlinear tuned vibration absorber are illustrated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Numerical results have demonstrated that the proposed method offers a convenient scheme to follow bifurcation periodic solution.

Abstract A topology optimization method for design of compliant mechanical amplifiers for piezoceramic stack actuators is presented. Previously the optimization was done assuming that the stack actuator provided a constant unit load to the compliant mechanism. However, it is well known that the best actuator performance occurs when the stiffness of the stack is considered and matches the stiffness of the surrounding coupling structure. In this paper an improved formulation is presented where the piezoelectric properties and stiffness of the stack are included along with an external spring representing a resisting load the actuator is working against. The optimization problem formulation, finite element implementation, solution algorithm are discussed. Two design examples are presented which illustrate the effect of the stiffness of the external spring and the size of the design domain on the topology of the solution.

Abstract The effectiveness assessment of specialized ships was discussed. Three groups of criteria such as financially-economic, technical and operational were analyzed. As an integrated criterion, “cost-effectiveness” ratio was proposed to be used. Selection of the optimum design characteristics of specialized ships were offered to carried out by solving the optimization problem. The description of the optimization problem formulation and the method of its solution were presented.
