The purpose of this paper is to propose a parallel genetic algorithm that has adaptive and self-adaptive characteristics at the same time for solving the Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) problem that is a challenging problem to solve. The algorithm selects the proper operators (using adaptive features) and probabilities (using the self-adaptive code) that produce the most fittable individuals. Regarding operations, the choice is made between four different types of crossover: simple, arithmetical, non-uniform arithmetical, and linear. Concerning mutation, we used four types of mutations (uniform, non-uniform, creep, and enhanced apso). The choice is made scholastically, which is uniform at the beginning of the algorithm, being adapted as the AG  executes. The crossover and mutation probabilities are coded into the genes, transforming this part of the algorithm into self-adaptive. The multicore version was coded using OpenMP. An ANOVA test, along with a Tukey test, proved that the mixed self-adaptive algorithm works better than both: a random algorithm, which chooses operators randomly, and a combination of operators set previously in the DED optimization. Regarding the performance of the parallel approach, results have shown that a speedup of up to 3.19 can be reached with no loss in the quality of solutions.

Massive popularity of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) may bring considerable opportunities and challenges to the power grid. The scenario is highly dependent on whether PEVs can be effectively managed. Dynamic economic dispatch with PEVs (DED with PEVs) determines the optimal level of online units and PEVs, to minimize the fuel cost and grid fluctuations. Considering valve-point effects and transmission losses is a complex constrained optimization problem with non-smooth, non-linear, and non-convex characteristics. High efficient DED method provides a powerful tool in both power system scheduling and PEVs charging coordination. In this study, firstly, PEVs are integrated into the DED problem, which can carry out orderly charge and discharge management to improve the quality of the grid. To tackle this, a novel real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA), namely, dimension-by-dimension mutation based on feature intervals (GADMFI), is proposed to enhance the exploitation and exploration of conventional RCGAs. Thirdly, a simple and efficient constraint handling method is proposed for an infeasible solution for DED. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the current literature on six cases with three scenarios, including only thermal units, units with disorderly PEVs, and units with orderly PEVs. The proposed GADMFI shows outstanding advantages on solving the DED with/without PEVs problem, obtaining the effect of cutting peaks and filling valleys on the DED with orderly PEVs problem.

In order to solve the shortcomings of current engineering methods for parameters adjustment that can only deal with them according to single requirement of system and can not optimize them in the whole range, as well as the standard genetic algorithm is prone to premature convergence, therefore, an improved PID parameters adjustment method based on self-adaptive genetic algorithm was proposed. This approach enables crossover and mutation probability automatically change along with the fitness value, not only can it maintain the population diversity, but also can ensure the convergence of the algorithm. A comparison of the dynamic response between the traditional PID control and the PID control based on self-adaptive genetic algorithm was made. Simulation results show that the latter has much superiority.

Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease, which can affect the brain and/or spinal cord, leading to a wide range of potential symptoms. This method aims to propose a novel MS recognition method.Methods: First, the bior4.4 wavelet is used to extract multiscale coefficients. Second, three types of biorthogonal wavelet features are proposed and calculated. Third, fitness-scaled adaptive genetic algorithm (FAGA)—a combination of standard genetic algorithm, adaptive mechanism, and power-rank fitness scaling—is harnessed as the optimization algorithm. Fourth, multiple-way data augmentation is utilized on the training set under the setting of 10 runs of 10-fold cross-validation. Our method is abbreviated as BWF-FAGA.Results: Our method achieves a sensitivity of 98.00 ± 0.95%, a specificity of 97.78 ± 0.95%, and an accuracy of 97.89 ± 0.94%. The area under the curve of our method is 0.9876.Conclusion: The results show that the proposed BWF-FAGA method is better than 10 state-of-the-art MS recognition methods, including eight artificial intelligence-based methods, and two deep learning-based methods.

This paper concerns an improved adaptive genetic algorithm, and the method is applied to the Maximum Entropy Template Selection Algorithm image registration. This method includes adjusting the probability of crossover and mutation in the evolutionary process. The method can overcome the disadvantage of traditional genetic algorithm that is easy to get into a local optimum answer. Results show our method is insensitive to the ordering, rotation and scale of the input images so it can be used in image stitching and retrieval of images & videos.
