In this article, we propose a different modeling approach, which aims at the simulation optimization so as to meet the design specification. Generally, Multi objective optimization problem is formulated by dependent factors as objective functions and independent factors as constraints. However, this paper presents the critical(dependent) factors as objective function and design(independent) factors as constraints for the selection of design factors directly. The objective function is normalized far the generalization of design factors while the constraints are composed of the simulation-based regression metamodels fer the critical factors and design factor's domain. Then the effective and fast solution procedure based on the pareto optimal solution set is proposed. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for the system design using the simulation and metamodels. Therefore, the method developed for this research can be adopted for other enhancements in different but comparable situations.

In this study, a method for optimal design of impeller and diffuser blades in the centrifugal compressor using response surface method (RSM) and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was evaluated. A numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS CFX with various values of impeller and diffuser parameters, which consist of leading edge (LE) angle, trailing edge (TE) angle, and blade thickness. Each of the parameters was divided into three levels. A total of 45 design points were planned using central composite design (CCD), which is one of the design of experiment (DOE) techniques. Response surfaces that were generated on the basis of the results of DOE were used to determine the optimal shape of impeller and diffuser blade. The entire process of optimization was conducted using ANSYS Design Xplorer (DX). Through the optimization, isentropic efficiency and pressure recovery coefficient, which are the main performance parameters of the centrifugal compressor, were increased by 0.3 and 5, respectively.

홍수추적 모형의 적절성을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중 하나는 모형의 매개변수이다. 특히 자연하천에 관한 부정류 계산모형의 매개변수인 조도계수는 하상재료의 특성에 따라 좌우되는 표피마찰뿐만 아니라 하상의 굴곡 등 단면형의 변화에 따른 형상손실 및 하천의 사행에 따른 손실 효과 등을 포괄적으로 내포하고 있기 때문에 모든 하천구간에 대하여 일반적으로 적용할 수 있는 조도계수의 값을 하나로 결정하기는 어렵다. 또한 조도계수는 흐름조건, 즉 유량 또는 수위의 변화에 따른 가변성을 갖고 있기 때문에, 흐름이 시간 및 공간적으로 변화하는 부정류 계산모형에 있어서는 더욱 그러하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 조도계수의 가변성과 다수 지점의 관측치를 고려한 모형보정의 결과로부터 얻은 파레토 최적화와 최소최대 후회도 방법(Minimax regret approach, MRA)을 결합하여 부정류 계산모형의 안정적인 매개변수를 선정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 여러 지점의 관측치를 고려한 모형의 보정은 다목적 최적화 문제로서, 여러 지점에 대한 가중치를 결합하여 얻은 하나의 목적함수에 대하여 여러 번의 개별 최적화를 수행함으로써 다수의 파레토 최적해들을 구할 수 있는 통합접근법을 적용하였다. 이때 유량에 따른 조도계수의 가변성을 나타내는 두 개의 매개변수로 구성된 관계식을 이용하여 두 구간에 대한 매개변수들을 모형의 추정 대상 매개변수로서 최적화하였다. 이 후 각기 다른 홍수사상에 대해 보정과 검증을 수행하였으며 각각에 대한 평가지표의 후회도를 정량화하였고 최종 안정적인 매개변수를 추정하기 위해 MRA를 이용하여 종합적인 순위를 도출하였다. MRA는 완전히 불확실한 의사결정 상황에서 유용한 방법으로 알려져 있는데 가장 나쁜 순위가 가장 좋은 것을 선택할 수 있게 하는 보수적인 의사결정기법이다. 계산결과 추정된 모형의 가변조도계수와 그로부터 얻은 두 개 지점에서의 평가지표인 RMSE는 두 지점에 대한 가중치의 조합에 따라 선택되는 매개변수 값에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 수문 및 수리모형의 다수의 관측지점의 자료를 이용한 매개변수 산정문제에 있어서 안정적인 해를 도출할 수 있다.

An improved formulation for multi-objective optimization was proposed. This formulation was applied to steel seismic loads. The multi-objective optimization problem was formulated with minimum structural weight, maximum strstability. The global criterion method was employed to find a rational solution closest to the ideal solution for the optimization problem using standard steel profile, To efficiently solve the optimization problem, the decomposition meth both system-level and element-level was used. In addition, various techniques including efficient reanalysis technique intermediate variables and sensitivity analysis using an automatic differentiation(AD) were incorporated. Moreover the reamong section properties fitted to the section profile used in order to link the system level and the element level. From numerical investigation, it could be stated that the proposed method will lead to the more rational design compared with one.

Based on army operating road profile, the endurance test of military vehicle aims to reproduce the similar loading conditions with mixture of proving ground tracks. It is so called as endurance test mode and its optimal generation is important to meet high reliability of endurance test. In this paper, proving ground optimization is proposed to achieve a close match to the target profile. Several performance measures such as torque-revolution counts or transmission ratio for the powertrain system can be considered as one of the objective functions. However, the one-side optimal endurance test mode may give the poor solution in the whole system point of view. To incorporate several goals simultaneously, this paper employs multi-objective optimization technique to generate endurance test mode. One of the most widely used method, weighted-sum method is applied here and the case study is discussed.

In this study, a model to optimize residual chlorine concentrations in a water supply system was developed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Moreover, to quantify the effects of optimized residual chlorine concentration management and to consider customer service requirements, this study developed indices to quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of residual chlorine concentration. Based on the results, the most economical operational method to manage booster chlorination was derived, which would supply water that satisfies the service level required by consumers, as well as the cost-effectiveness and operation requirements relevant to the service providers. A simulation model was then created based on an actual water supply system (i.e., the Multi-regional Water Supply W in Korea). Simulated optimizations were successful, evidencing that it is possible to meet the residual chlorine concentration demanded by consumers at a low cost.

This study aims to propose a new optimization-based approach for design and analysis of the stand-alone hybrid energy supply system using renewable energy sources (RES). In the energy supply system, we include multiple energy production technologies such as Photovoltaics (PV), Wind turbine, and fossil-fuel-based AC generator along with different types of energy storage and conversion technologies such as battery and inverter. We then select six different regions of Korea to represent various characteristics of different RES potentials and demand profiles. We finally designed and analyzed the optimal RES stand-alone energy supply system in the selected regions using multiobjective optimization (MOOP) technique, which includes two objective functions: the minimum cost and the minimum $CO_2$ emission. In addition, we discussed the feasibility and expecting benefits of the systems by comparing to conventional systems of Korea. As a result, the region of the highest RES potential showed the possibility to remarkably reduce $CO_2$ emissions compared to the conventional system. Besides, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the RES-based energy system is identified to be slightly higher than conventional energy system: 0.35 and 0.46 $/kWh, respectively. However, the total life-cycle emission of $CO_2$ ($LCE_{CO2}$) can be reduced up to 470 g$CO_2$/kWh from 490 g$CO_2$/kWh of the conventional systems.
