Many MOEAs are developed to solve CMOPs, but they encounter low efficiency for steady-state CMOPs. This paper proposes a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm named FACE, which maintains the known feasible solution in the second population and evolves together with the main population. Performance comparisons show the efficiency and scalability of FACE for steady-state CMOPs.
Many multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are developed to solve constrained multiobjective optimization problems (CMOPs). However, they encounter low efficiency for steady-state CMOPs which are to optimize a known feasible solution named the current steady-state operation point. This paper proposes a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA), termed FACE, for tackling the steady-state CMOPs. In FACE, the known feasible solution is maintained in the second population and evolves together with the main population. The main population is evolved by global search without handling constraints to accelerate the convergence. And the second population is evolved by local search to hold and achieve more feasible solutions. Two kinds of performance comparison between FACE and five representative MOEAs are made: the first using two cases of steady-state multisource compressed-air pipeline optimization problems to evaluate the performance of FACE on real life applications, and the second using a set of bench-mark test problems of CMOPs assigned with a known feasible solution to further assess the scalability of FACE. The results demonstrate the efficiency and the scalability of FACE with a potential for steady-state CMOPs. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Deep Q-network-based heuristic intrusion detection against edge-based SIoT zero-day attacks

Shigen Shen, Chenpeng Cai, Zhenwei Li, Yizhou Shen, Guowen Wu, Shui Yu

Summary: To address the damage caused by zero-day attacks on SIoT systems, researchers propose a heuristic learning intrusion detection system named DQN-HIDS. By integrating Deep Q-Networks (DQN) into the system, DQN-HIDS gradually improves its ability to identify malicious traffic and reduces resource workloads. Experiments demonstrate the superior performance of DQN-HIDS in terms of workload, delayed sample queue, rewards, and classifier accuracy.

Improved energy management of chiller system with AI-based regression

Fu-Wing Yu, Wai-Tung Ho, Chak-Fung Jeff Wong

Summary: This research aims to enhance the energy management in commercial building air-conditioning systems, specifically focusing on chillers. Ridge regression is found to outperform lasso and elastic net regression when optimized with the appropriate hyperparameter, making it the most suitable method for modeling the system coefficient of performance (SCOP). The key variables that strongly influence SCOP include part load ratios, the operating numbers of chillers and pumps, and the temperatures of chilled water and condenser water. Additionally, July is identified as the month with the highest potential for performance improvement. This study introduces a novel approach that balances feature selection, model accuracy, and optimal tuning of hyperparameters, highlighting the significance of a generic and simplified chiller system model in evaluating energy management opportunities for sustainable operation. The findings from this research can guide future efforts towards more energy-efficient and sustainable operations in commercial buildings.

A systematic review of metaheuristic algorithms in electric power systems optimization

Gerardo Humberto Valencia-Rivera, Maria Torcoroma Benavides-Robles, Alonso Vela Morales, Ivan Amaya, Jorge M. Cruz-Duarte, Jose Carlos Ortiz-Bayliss, Juan Gabriel Avina-Cervantes

Summary: Electric power system applications are complex optimization problems. Most literature reviews focus on studying electrical paradigms using different optimization techniques, but there is a lack of review on Metaheuristics (MHs) in these applications. Our work provides an overview of the paradigms underlying such applications and analyzes the most commonly used MHs and their search operators. We also discover a strong synergy between the Renewable Energies paradigm and other paradigms, and a significant interest in Load-Forecasting optimization problems. Based on our findings, we provide helpful recommendations for current challenges and potential research paths to support further development in this field.
