  • Multi-Objective Optimization of Unidirectional Non-Isolated Dc/Dcconverters
    MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF UNIDIRECTIONAL NON-ISOLATED DC/DC CONVERTERS by Andrija Stupar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Edward S. Rogers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright 2017 by Andrija Stupar Abstract Multi-Objective Optimization of Unidirectional Non-Isolated DC/DC Converters Andrija Stupar Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Edward S. Rogers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2017 Engineers have to fulfill multiple requirements and strive towards often competing goals while designing power electronic systems. This can be an analytically complex and computationally intensive task since the relationship between the parameters of a system’s design space is not always obvious. Furthermore, a number of possible solutions to a particular problem may exist. To find an optimal system, many different possible designs must be evaluated. Literature on power electronics optimization focuses on the modeling and design of partic- ular converters, with little thought given to the mathematical formulation of the optimization problem. Therefore, converter optimization has generally been a slow process, with exhaus- tive search, the execution time of which is exponential in the number of design variables, the prevalent approach. In this thesis, geometric programming (GP), a type of convex optimization, the execution time of which is polynomial in the number of design variables, is proposed and demonstrated as an efficient and comprehensive framework for the multi-objective optimization of non-isolated unidirectional DC/DC converters. A GP model of multilevel flying capacitor step-down convert- ers is developed and experimentally verified on a 15-to-3.3 V, 9.9 W discrete prototype, with sets of loss-volume Pareto optimal designs generated in under one minute.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 63(6): 1923–1928. Linear programming (LP) and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems belong among very important class of problems that fi nd their applications in various managerial consequences. The aim of the paper is to discuss computational performance of current optimization packages for solving large scale LP and MILP optimization problems. Current market with LP and MILP solvers is quite extensive. Probably among the most powerful solvers GUROBI 6.0, IBM ILOG CPLEX 12.6.1, and XPRESS Optimizer 27.01 belong. Their attractiveness for academic research is given, except their computational performance, by their free availability for academic purposes. The solvers are tested on the set of selected problems from MIPLIB 2010 library that contains 361 test instances of diff erent hardness (easy, hard, and not solved). Keywords: benchmark, linear programming, mixed integer linear programming, optimization, solver INTRODUCTION with integer variables need not be solved even Solving linear and mixed integer linear in case of a very small size of the given problem. optimization problems (LP and MILP) that Real-world optimization problems have usually belong to one of the most o en modelling tools, many thousands of variables and/or constraints.

  • Combining Simulation and Optimization for Improved Decision Support on Energy Efficiency in Industry
    Linköping Studies in Science and Technology, Dissertation No. 1483 Combining simulation and optimization for improved decision support on energy efficiency in industry Nawzad Mardan Division of Energy Systems Department of Management and Engineering Linköping Institute of Technology SE-581 83, Linköping, Sweden Copyright © 2012 Nawzad Mardan ISBN 978-91-7519-757-9 ISSN 0345-7524 Printed in Sweden by LiU-Tryck, Linköping 2012 ii Abstract Industrial production systems in general are very complex and there is a need for decision support regarding management of the daily production as well as regarding investments to increase energy efficiency and to decrease environmental effects and overall costs. Simulation of industrial production as well as energy systems optimization may be used in such complex decision-making situations. The simulation tool is most powerful when used for design and analysis of complex production processes. This tool can give very detailed information about how the system operates, for example, information about the disturbances that occur in the system, such as lack of raw materials, blockages or stoppages on a production line. Furthermore, it can also be used to identify bottlenecks to indicate where work in process, material, and information are being delayed. The energy systems optimization tool can provide the company management additional information for the type of investment studied. The tool is able to obtain more basic data for decision-making and thus also additional information for the production-related investment being studied. The use of the energy systems optimization tool as investment decision support when considering strategic investments for an industry with complex interactions between different production units seems greatly needed.

There are two fundamentally different concepts to gener- ate valid global constraints from infeasible subproblems. The first is to analyze the sequence of implications, obtained by domain propagation, that led to infeasibility. The result of this analysis is one or more sets of contradicting variable bounds from which so-called conflict constraints can be generated. This concept is called conflict graph analysis and has its origin in solving satisfiability problems and is similarly used in con- straint programming. The second concept is to analyze infeasible linear programming (LP) relaxations. Every ray of the dual LP provides a set of multipliers that can be used to generate a single new globally valid linear constraint.

  • Introduction to Economics
    Introduction to CPLEX 1.0 Overview There are a number of commercial grade LP solvers available. Wikipedia gives a decent summary at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software. Some very convenient solvers for many students include those with Excel and Matlab. The standard one that comes with Excel uses a basic implementation of the primal Simplex method; however, it is limited to 200 decision variables. To use it, the Solver add-in must be included (not installed by default). To add this facility you need to carry out the following steps: 1. Select the menu option File Options 2. Click “Add-ins” and then in the Manage box, select “Solver add-in” and then click “OK” On clicking OK, you will then be able to access the Solver option from the Analysis group of the Data tab. If you want to see how to use it, using the LP example we have been working on, click on http://www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/cheer/ch9_3/ch9_3p07.htm. You can also buy commercial add-ons that significantly improve the power of Excel as an LP solver. For example, see http://www.solver.com/. 1 Matlab also has a very easy to use solver. And there is an add-on for Matlab, called Tomlab, which significantly increases the solver’s capabilities, and we have it at ISU if you want to use it. See http://tomopt.com/tomlab/about/ for more details about Tomlab. There are various commercial solvers today, including, for example, CPLEX, Gurobi, XPRESS, MOSEK, and LINDO. There are some lesser-known solvers that provide particularly effective means of decomposition, including ADMM and DSP.

We assume the functions φ(x) and ci(x) are smooth: they are continuous and have continuous first derivatives (gradients). Sometimes gradients are not available (or too expensive) and we use finite difference approximations. Sometimes we need second derivatives. We study algorithms that find a local optimum for problem NP. Some examples follow.

Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Over the past decade, a growing community of researchers has emerged around the use of COnstraint- Based Reconstruction and Analysis \(COBRA) methods to simulate, analyze and predict a variety of metabolic phenotypes using genome-scale models. The COBRA Toolbox, a MATLAB package for implementing COBRA methods, was presented earlier. Here we present a signicant update of this in silico ToolBox. Version 2.0 of the COBRA Toolbox expands the scope of computations by including in silico analysis methods developed since its original release. New functions include: \(1) network gap lling, \(2) 13C analysis, \(3) metabolic engineering, \(4) omics-guided analysis, and \(5) visualization. As with the rst version, the COBRA Toolbox reads and writes Systems Biology Markup Language formatted models. In version 2.0, we improved performance, usability, and the level of documentation. A suite of test scripts can now be used to learn the core functionality of the Toolbox and validate results. This Toolbox lowers the barrier of entry to use powerful COBRA methods. Introduction COnstraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis \(COBRA) methods have been successfully employed in the eld of microbial metabolic engineering1-3 and are being extended to modeling transcriptional4-8 and signaling9-11 networks and the eld of public health12.
