Development, testing, simulation, and validation of complex real-time distributed systems is a challenge on many levels. Designing multi-agent systems for power plant control can be approached numerous ways, but it is important to enhance the flow of development to implementation. Using new Distributed Real-time Agent Framework with Time-warp (DRAFT) agents can enhance the development of multi-agent...
Building upon the work of the multi-agent system (MAS) based intelligent heuristic optimal control system (MAS-IHOCS) a new distributed real-time agent framework with time-warp (DRAFT) has been developed to enhance performance and development of multi-agent systems used to control real time processes. Using distributed discrete event simulation techniques for optimistic simulation with time-warp speeds...
This paper examines the Pareto front of a simple fossil fuel power plant using a common third-order model. This front is first examined analytically. Then the power plant model is transferred over to a steady-state model using a static neural network and the front is estimated using various geometric and heuristic approaches. This paper is the first of the two stages to eliminate the need for a human...
Differential evolution has seen growing popularity as an effective yet simple evolutionary algorithm. Its main feature is that the difference between population members is used for the mutation process instead of randomly generated values. Its ease of use and implementation make it a more attractive approach to evolutionary algorithms as it is simpler to explain the choice of parameters to fit a given...
