With taking weight of single main beam of gantry crane as objective function, and taking main beam upper & lower cored, diagonal & horizontal bracing, and width & weight as design variable, this essay adopted population diversity adaptive genetic algorithm to optimize its structure and improved program design through MATLAB. This algorithm could accelerate convergence speed, which make much it easier to realize comprehensive optimal solution, since it effectively avoided weakness of basic genetic algorithm, such as partial optimal solution, prematurity and being lack of continuity, etc.

Reactive power optimization is a typical high-dimensional, nonlinear, discontinuous problem. Traditional Genetic algorithm(GA) exists precocious phenomenon and is easy to be trapped in local minima. To overcome this shortcoming, this article will introduce cloud model into Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA), adaptively adjust crossover and mutation probability according to the X-condition cloud generator to use the randomness and stable tendency of droplets in cloud model. The article proposes the cloud adaptive genetic algorithm(CAGA) ,according to the theory, which probability values have both stability and randomness, so, the algorithm have both rapidity and population diversity. Considering minimum network loss as the objective function, make the simulation in standard IEEE 14 node system. The results show that the improved CAGA can achieve a better global optimal solution compared with GA and AGA.

In this paper, determinate beam and indeterminate beam with multiple span are optimized by using genetic algorithm, the mathematic model of optimize beam is built and the processing method of constraint conditions is given. The examples show that the algorithm could be used for optimizing determinate structure, and also optimizing indeterminate structure. Compared to the linear approximation method, genetic algorithm has advantages of being simple, easy, fast convergence and has no use for changing the objective function and constraint conditions to linearity or other processing. Its results agree with linear approximation method’s. It is the other method that can be adopt in engineering field.

In this paper, a Fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (Fuzzy PID) controller design is presented to improve the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) transient characteristics and increase the robustness of the AVR. Fuzzy PID controller parameters are determined by a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization method using a novel multi-objective function. The multi-objective function, which is important for tuning the controller parameters, obtains the optimal solution using the Integrated Time multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) criterion and the peak value of the output response. The proposed method is tested on two AVR models with different parameters and compared with studies in the literature. It is observed that the proposed method improves the AVR transient response properties and is also robust to parameter changes.

Under the background of huge amounts of data in large-scale power grid, the active power optimization calculation is easy to fall into local optimal solution, and meanwhile the calculation demands a higher processing speed. Aiming at these questions, the farmer fishing algorithm which is applied to solve the problem of optimal distribution of active load for coal-fired power units is used to improve the cloud adaptive genetic algorithm (CAGA) for speeding up the convergence phase of CAGA. The concept of cloud computing algorithm is introduced, and parallel design has been done through MapReduce graphs. This method speeds up the calculation and improves the effectiveness of the active load optimization allocation calculation.

Uniform sound pressure level (SPL) distribution of linear phased loudspeaker array is limited by frequency. This paper widens the applicable frequency band of uniform SPL distribution in a linear listening area. By using an improved adaptive genetic algorithm (which contains a novel objective function, modified genetic operators and parameter setups) to control the directivity pattern details accurately, uniform distribution of SPL on a linear listening line in a wider frequency is achieved. The simulation and experimental results show that the SPLs on the test listening line are basically uniform from 200Hz to 500Hz, which demonstrates that the improvement of adaptive genetic algorithm is effective.

The aerodynamic devices play an important role on the performance of the Formula SAE racing car. The rear wing is the most significant and popular element, which offers primary down force and optimizes the wake. In traditional rear wing optimization, the optimization variables are first selected, and separately enumerated according to the analyzing experience of the racing car’s external flow field, and thus the optimal design is chosen by comparison. This method is complicated, and even might lose some key sample points. In this paper, the attack angle of the rear wing and the relative position parameters are set as design variables; then the design variables’ combination is determined by the DOE experimental design method. The aerodynamic lift and drag of the racing car for these variables’ combinations are obtained by the computational fluid dynamics method. With these sample points, the approximation model is produced by the response surface method. For the sake of gaining the best lift to drag ( FL/ FD) ratio, i.e. maximum down force and the minimum drag force, the optimal solution is found by the genetic algorithm. The result shows that the established optimization procedure can optimize the rear wing’s aerodynamic characteristic on the racing car effectively and have application values in the practical engineering.

The main problems for Genetic Algorithm (GA) to deal with the complex layout design of satellite module lie in easily trapping into local optimality and large amount of consuming time. To solve these problems, the Bee Evolutionary Genetic Algorithm (BEGA) and the adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) are introduced. The crossover operation of BEGA algorithm effectively reinforces the information exploitation of the genetic algorithm, and introducing random individuals in BEGA enhance the exploration capability and avoid the premature convergence of BEGA. These two features enable to accelerate the evolution of the algorithm and maintain excellent solutions. At the same time, AGA is adopted to improve the crossover and mutation probability, which enhances the escaping capability from local optimal solution. Finally, satellite module layout design based on Adaptive Bee Evolutionary Genetic Algorithm (ABEGA) is proposed. Numerical experiments of the satellite module layout optimization show that: ABEGA outperforms SGA and AGA in terms of the overall layout scheme, enveloping circle radius, the moment of inertia and success rate.

The design of the gearbox must ensure the simplest structure and the lightest weight under the premise of meeting the reliability and life expectancy. According to the requirement of wind turbine, an improved method combined dynamic penalty function with pseudo-parallel genetic algorithm is used to optimize gearbox.

The global optimal solution is worked out quickly. The size parameters are optimized, as much as the driving stability and efficiency. To verify the feasibility of improved genetic algorithm, ring gear of the gearbox is analyzed. Static strength analysis shows that the optimization method is reasonable and effective.
