The purpose of this article is to present a backtracking search optimization technique (BSA) to determine the feasible optimum solution of the economic load dispatch (ELD) problems involving different realistic equality and inequality constraints, such as power balance, ramp rate limits, and prohibited operating zone constraints. Effects of valve-point loading, multi-fuel option of large-scale thermal plants, system transmission loss are also taken into consideration for more realistic application. Two effective operations, mutation and crossover, help BSA algorithms to find the global solution for different optimization problems. BSA has the capability to deal with multimodal problems due to its powerful exploration and exploitation capability. BSA is free from sensitive parameter control operations. Simulation results set up the proposed approach in a better stage compared to several other existing optimization techniques in terms quality of solution and computational efficiency. Results also reveal the robustness of the proposed methodology.

The practical Economic Dispatch (ED) problems have non-convex objective functions with complex constraints due to the effects of valve point loadings, multiple fuels, and prohibited zones. This leads to difficulty in finding the global optimal solution of the ED problems. This chapter proposes a new swarm-based Mean-Variance Mapping Optimization (MVMOS) for solving the non-convex ED. The proposed algorithm is a new population-based meta-heuristic optimization technique. Its special feature is a mapping function applied for the mutation. The proposed MVMOS is tested on several test systems and the comparisons of numerical obtained results between MVMOS and other optimization techniques are carried out. The comparisons show that the proposed method is more robust and provides better solution quality than most of the other methods. Therefore, the MVMOS is very favorable for solving non-convex ED problems.

Carbon intensity reduction and energy utilization enhancement in manufacturing industry are becoming a timely topic. In a manufacturing system, the process planning is the combination of all production factors which influences the entail carbon emissions during manufacturing. In order to meet the current low carbon manufacturing requirements, a carbon emission evaluation method for the manufacturing process planning is highly desirable to be developed. This work presents a method to evaluate the carbon emissions of a process plan by aggregating the unit process to form a combined model for evaluating carbon emissions. The evaluating results can be used to decrease the resource and energy consumption and pinpoint detailed breakdown of the influences between manufacturing process plan and carbon emissions. Finally, the carbon emission analysis method is applied to a process plan of an axis to examine its feasibility and validity.

AbstractThe main objective of this article is to lay the foundations of a novel multi-criteria optimization technique, namely, the complex Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft VIKOR (CPFNS-VIKOR) method that is highly proficient to express a great deal of linguistic imprecision and vagueness inherent in human assessments. This strategy provides a versatile decision-making tool for the ranking-based fuzzy modeling of two-dimensional parameterized data. The CPFNS-VIKOR method integrates the ground-breaking specialities of the VIKOR method with the outstanding parametric structure of the complex Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft model. It is exclusively designed for the specification of a compromise optimal solution having maximum group utility and minimum individual regret of the opponent by analyzing their weighted proximity from ideal solutions. The developed strategy factually permits specific linguistic terms to demystify the individual perspectives of the decision-making experts regarding the efficacy of the alternatives and the priorities of the applicable criteria. We comprehensively assemble these independent appraisals of all the experts using the complex Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft weighted averaging operator. Moreover, we calibrate the ranking measure by utilizing group utility measure and regret measure in order to specify the hierarchical outranking of the feasible alternatives. We demonstrate the systematic methodology and framework of the proposed method with the assistance of an explicative flow chart. We skilfully investigate an empirical analysis related to selection of constructive industrial robots for the modernization of a manufacturing industry which really justifies the remarkable accountability of the proposed strategy. Furthermore, we validate this technique by a comparative study with the existing complex Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS (CPF-TOPSIS) method, complex Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR (CPF-VIKOR) method and Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS (PF-TOPSIS) method. The comparative study is exemplified with an illustrative bar chart that visually endorses the rationality of the proposed methodology by interpreting highly compatible and accurate final outcomes. Finally, we holistically analyze the functionality of the developed strategy to enlighten its merits and prominence over other available competent approaches.

Optimization is a very important techniques applied in the manufacturing industry that utilizes mathematical and artificial intelligence methods. The complexity associated with most optimization techniques have resulted to search for new ones. This search has led to the emergence of response surface methodology (RSM). The paper aims to optimize tungsten inert gas process parameters required to eliminate post-weld crack formation and stabilize heat input in mild steel weldment using RSM. The main input variables considered are voltage, current and speed whereas the response parameter is Brinell hardness number (BHN). The statistical design of experiment was done using the central composite design technique. The experiment was implemented 20 times with 5 specimens per experiment. The responses were measured, recorded and optimized using RSM. From the results, it was observed that a voltage of 21.95 V, current of 190.0 A, and welding speed of 5.00 mm/s produced a weld material with the following optimal properties; BHN (200.959 HAZ), heat input (1.69076 kJ/mm), cooling rate (72.07 /s), preheat temperature (150.68 ) and amount of diffusible hydrogen (12.36 mL/100g). The optimal solution was selected by design expert with a desirability value of 95.40 %.

The excellent mechanical properties of laminated composites cannot be exploited without a careful design of stacking sequence of the layers. An important variable in the search of the optimum stacking sequence is the number of layers. The larger is this number, the harder as well as longer is the search for an optimal solution. To tackle efficiently such a variable-dimensional problem, we introduce here a multi-level optimization technique. The proposed method, called Layer Separation (LS), increases or decreases the number of layers by gradually separating a layer into two, or by merging two layers into one. LS uses different levels of laminate representation ranging from a coarse level parameterization, which corresponds to a small number of thick layers, to a fine level parameterization, which corresponds to a large number of thin layers. A benefit of such differentiation is an increase of the probability of finding the global optimum. In this paper, LS is applied to the design of composite laminates under single and multiple loadings. The results show that LS convergence rate is not inferior to that of other optimization techniques available in the literature. It is faster than an evolutionary algorithm, more efficient than a layerwise method, simple to perform, and it has the advantage of possibility of termination at any point during the optimization process.
