Most transmission lines are exposed to the outdoor environment, especially cross-regional transmission lines, cross-mountains and rivers. Therefore, in the power system, transmission lines have the highest probability of failure in various components of the power system due to their working environment and other reasons. In this paper, based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm, travelin...Show More
Basing on the minimum material consumption models, the plant-wide hierarchical optimization method has been successful in determining technical indices and manipulated variables by solving a two-level optimization problem, including the procedure-level optimization and the process-level optimization. However, the performance of the method will deteriorate if there are numerous technical indices an...Show More
Plant-wide optimization for gold hydrometallurgy process is an effective method to achieve production with high efficiency and low consumption. Through analyzing the characteristics of a gold hydrometallurgy process, this paper gives the plant-wide optimization model of the process. And in order to improve the global convergence of the solution algorithm PSO, based on the general convergence condi...Show More
