This paper describes an efficient optimization algorithm by calculating sensitivity function for power system stabilization. In power system, the dynamic performance of exciter, governor etc. following a disturbance can be presented by a nonlinear differential equation. Since a nonlinear equation can be linearized for small disturbances, the state equation is expressed by a system matrix with system parameters. The objective function for power system operation will be related to the system parameter and the initial state at the optimal control condition for control or stabilization. The object function sensitivity to the system parameter can be considered to be effective in selecting the optimal parameter of the system.

To find the optimal solution as rapidly and exactly as possible with Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm, the present values of the reflection, expansion, contraction and/or shrink parameters of this algorithm are needed to be changed at appropriate time during the search process. The reflection parameter is selected in this study in order to be changed because reflection, expansion and contraction process can be simultaneously effected by only this parameter. Two independent indices for determining whether the present value of the reflection parameter of this algorithm should be changed or not during the search process are suggested in this study. Those indices were made of the equations of Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm's convergence criterion and Dennis-Wood's convergence criterion, respectively. It is appeared that the optimal solution can be find with smaller numbers of objective function evaluation than the original Nelder-Mead's one with fixed parameter when the those indices are used during the search process. and the more remarkable reduction effect of the number of an objective function evaluation can be obtained when the latter index is used.

홍수예보는 홍수로 인한 인명과 재산피해를 저감하기 위한 비구조적 대책으로 그 정확성은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 우리나라 홍수예보에서 주로 쓰이는 저류함수모형은 그 적용에 있어서 매개변수의 결정이 매우 중요하지만 이를 결정하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 그래서 현재에는 주로 경험식을 이용하거나 수문 기술자의 판단에 의해 보정이 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저류함수모형 매개변수의 특성을 알고 범위를 설정하기 위해서 민감도 분석을 수행하였으며, 보정을 위해 다양한 보정방법과 목적함수를 적용하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 또한 유역에 맞는 매개변수를 결정하기 위한 방법을 제시하고, 결정된 매개변수를 이용하여 검증홍수사상에 대해 검증을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과와 기존에 제시된 매개변수를 사용한 결과를 비교하였다. 기존에 제시된 대상유역의 저류함수모형 매개변수도 좋은 결과를 나타내었으나, 새롭게 추정된 매개변수는 보다 더 좋은 결과를 도출하였다.

The grinding force generated during the grinding process causes an elastic deformation of the workpiece, grinding wheel, and machine system. Thus, the true depth of cut is always smaller than the apparent depth of cut. This is known as machining elasticity phenomenon. The machining elasticity parameter is defined as a ratio between the true depth of cut and the apparent depth of cut. It is an important factor to understand the material removal mechanism of the grinding process. To increase productivity, the value of this machining elasticity parameter must be large. Therefore, it is essential to know the characteristics of this parameter. The objective of this research is to study the effect of the major grinding conditions, such as table speed, depth of cut, on this parameter experimentally, Through this research, it is found that this parameter value is increasing when the table speed is decreasing or the depth of cut is increasing. Also, this parameter value depends on the grinding mode (up grinding, down grinding).

A special class of exponential dispersion models is the class of Tweedie distributions. This class is very significant in statistical modeling as it includes a number of familiar distributions such as Gaussian, Gamma and compound Poisson. A Tweedie distribution has a power parameter p, a mean m and a dispersion parameter 𝜙. The value of the power parameter lies in identifying the corresponding distribution of the Tweedie family. The basic objective of this research work resides in investigating the existence of the implicit estimator of the power parameter of the Tweedie distribution. A necessary and sufficient condition on the mean parameter m, suggesting that the implicit estimator of the power parameter p exists, was established and we provided some asymptotic properties of this estimator.

In this study, the parameters of the feedwater control system (FWCS) of the OPR1000 type nuclear power plant (NPP) are optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) in order to acquire better level control performance from the FWCS. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the steam generator (SG) water level deviation from the reference level during transients. The objective functions for this optimization are relationships between the SG level deviation and the parameters of the FWCS. However, in this case of FWCS parameter optimization, the objective functions are not available in the form of analytic equations and the responses (the SG level at plant transients) to inputs (FWCS parameters) can be evaluated by computer simulations only. Classical optimization methods cannot be used because the objective function value cannot be calculated directely. Therefore, the simulation optimization methodology is used and the RSM is adopted as the simulation optimization algorithm. Objective functions are evaluated with several typical transients in NPPs using a system simulation computer code that has been utilized for the system performance analysis of actual NPPs. The results show that the optimized parameters have better SG level control performance. The degree of the SG level deviation from the reference level during transients is minimized and consequently the control performance of the FWCS is remarkably improved.

모형의 구조, 모델링에 사용되는 자료, 매개변수 등에 포함된 다양한 불확실성 원인들은 수문모의 및 예측결과에 있어 불확실성을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 강우-유출 및 강우-유사유출 모의가 가능한 분포형 강우-유사-유출 모형을 용담댐 상류유역인 천천유역에 적용하여 수문곡선 및 유사량곡선의 재현성을 평가하고, 다중최적화기법인 MOSCEM을 이용하여 강우-유출 모듈, 강우-유사유출 모듈의 매개변수를 독립적으로 보정한 경우(Case I과 II), 그리고 두 모듈이 결합된 강우-유사-유출 모형의 매개변수를 동시에 보정한 경우(Case III)에 대하여 Pareto 최적해를 추정하고, 이에 따른 수문 예측결과의 불확실성을 평가한다. 매개변수 불확실성의 전이에 따른 수문곡선의 불확실성 평가 결과(Case I), 모의기간 동안 고유량보다는 저유량 부분에서 불확실성 범위가 두드러졌으며, 이에 반해, 유사량곡선의 경우(Case II) 저농도보다는 고농도 부분에서 불확실성 범위가 넓게 분포하였다. 강우-유사-유출 모형의 매개변수의 불확실성을 동시에 추정한 경우 수문곡선 및 유사량곡선 모두 Case I과 II에 비해 모의기간 전반에 걸쳐 불확실성 범위가 넓게 분포되었으며, 매개 변수의 불확실성으로 인해 대상유역내 격자별 침식 및 퇴적 공간분포 양상이 상이하게 나타났다.

This paper suggests the techniques in determining the values of the steady-state equivalent circuit parameters of a three-phase induction machine using genetic algorithm. The parameter estimation procedure is based on the steady-state phase current versus slip and input power versus slip characteristics. The propose estimation algorithm is of non-linear kind based on selection in genetic algorithm. The machine parameters are obtained as the solution of a minimization of objective function by genetic algorithm. Simulation shows good performance of the propose procedures.

Parameter identification is studied in viscoelastic rods by solving an inverse problem numerically. The material properties of the rod, which appear in the constitutive relations, are recovered by optimizing an objective function constructed from reference strain data. The resulting inverse algorithm consists of an optimization algorithm coupled with a corresponding direct algorithm that computes the strain fields given a set of material properties. Numerical results are presented for two model inverse problems; (i)the effect of noise in the reference strain fields (ii) the effect of minimal reference data in space and/or time data.

For model calibration in rainfall-runoff modeling, streamflow data at a specific outlet is obviously required but is not sufficient to identify parameters of a model since numerous parameter combinations can result in very similar model performance measures (i.e. objective functions) and indistinguishable simulated hydrographs. This phenomenon has been called 'equifinality' due to inherent parameter uncertainty involved in rainfall-runoff modeling. This study aims to investigate catchment responses in time and space to various uncertain parameter sets in distributed rainfall-runoff modeling. Seven plausible (or behavioral) parameter sets, which guarantee identically-good model performances, were sampled using deterministic and stochastic optimization methods entitled SCE and SCEM, respectively. Then, we applied them to a computational tracer method linked with a distributed rainfall-runoff model in order to trace and visualize potential origins of streamflow at a catchment outlet. The results showed that all hydrograph simulations based on the plausible parameter sets were performed equally well while internal catchment responses to them showed totally different aspects; different parameter values led to different distributions with respect to the streamflow origins in space and time despite identical simulated hydrographs. Additional information provided by the computational tracer method may be utilized as a complementary constraint for filtering out non-physical parameter set(s) (or reducing parameter uncertainty) in distributed rainfall-runoff modeling.
