Multi-objective optimization of switched reluctance motor driving electric vehicles based on vehicle operating condition

To improve the comprehensive performance of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) for electric vehicles (EVs) under actual driving conditions, a novel geometrical optimization method based on the time-varying phase current characteristics and the comprehensive indicator with justified weight coefficients is proposed in this paper. First, based on the established dynamic models of EV and SRM, the actual operating phase currents of the motor working under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) are extracted and classified to develop the representative optimization conditions. Then, considering the requirements of EV, five indicators are defined to evaluate the comprehensive performance of SRM, and a new multi-objective synchronization optimization function is proposed with five weight coefficients obtained by the statistical analysis method for the sample data of the indicators. Furthermore, the geometrical optimization for a four-phase 8/6 SRM is carried out by the combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and BP neural network algorithms, after analyzing the effects of key geometrical parameters on the indicators. Finally, the work performance of the optimized SRM is evaluated and compared with that of the initial prototype, and the results show that the optimized SRM with the proposed multi-objective synchronization optimization method can improve the comprehensive indicator by 59.59%, and can significantly enhance the vehicle actual working economy by 50.74% under NEDC cycle.

Precision and uncertainty in natural gas calorific value estimation: advanced combinatorial predictive models for complex pipeline systems

Abstract In recent years, natural gas pipelines have been characterized by multiple intake points, the mixing of different gas sources, and significant variations in gas quality. The existing volumetric measurement system is no longer suitable for the development and operation of natural gas pipelines in China. To ensure accurate and equitable implementation of natural gas measurement, there is a gradual shift towards energy measurement. However, due to numerous measurement interfaces, installing chromatographs at all measurement stations would lead to substantial investment costs. Therefore, predicting the calorific value of natural gas is a key technology for energy measurement. In view of the issues existing in the current methods of obtaining natural gas calorific value, different prediction models of natural gas calorific value are constructed. According to the influencing factors of natural gas calorific value, the uncertainty evaluation is carried out, and the accuracy of different calorific value prediction models is analyzed by case data. The maximum error of regression equation (RE), response surface analysis (RSA), BP neural network and genetic algorithm (GA) prediction model is 2.29%, 0.43%, 0.59% and 0.45% respectively. However, the combined calorific value (CCV)prediction model is 0.41%. The results indicate that the predicted value calculated by the CCV prediction model is closer to the actual value and has higher prediction performance, which provides a new method for the calorific value prediction and measurement management of natural gas.

Prediction of Shale Gas Well Productivity Based on a Cuckoo-Optimized Neural Network

Current shale gas well production capacity predictions primarily rely on analytical and numerical simulation methods, which necessitate extensive calculations and manual parameter tuning and produce lowly accurate predictions. Although employing neural networks yields highly accurate predictions, they can easily fall into local optima. This paper suggests a new way to use Cuckoo Search (CS)-optimized neural networks to make shale gas well production capacity predictions more accurate and to solve the problem of local optima. It aims to assist engineers in devising more effective development plans and production strategies, optimizing resource allocation, and reducing risk. The method first analyzes the factors influencing the production capacity of shale gas wells in a block located in western China through correlation coefficients. It identifies the main factors affecting the gas test absolute open flow as organic carbon content, small-layer passage rate, fracture pressure, acid volume, pump-in fluid volume, brittle mineral content in the rock, and rock density. Subsequently, we used the CS algorithm to conduct the global training of the neural network, avoiding the problem of local optima, and established a neural network model for predicting shale gas well production capacity optimized by the CS algorithm. A comparative analysis with other relevant methods demonstrates that the CS-optimized neural network model can accurately predict production capacity, enabling a more rational and effective exploitation of shale gas resources, which lower development costs and increase the economic returns of oil and gas fields. Compared to numerical simulation, SVM, and BP neural network algorithms, the CS-optimized BP neural network (CS-BP) exhibits significantly lower prediction error. Its correlation coefficient between predicted and actual values reaches as high as 0.9924. Verification experiments conducted on another shale gas well also demonstrate that, in comparison to the BP neural network algorithm, CS-BP offers superior prediction performance, with model validation showing a prediction error of only 0.05. This study can facilitate more rational and efficient exploitation of shale gas resources, reduce development costs, and enhance the economic benefits of oil and gas fields.

Application of Seagull Optimization Algorithm-BP Neural Network in Oil-Water Two-Phase Flow Pattern Forecasting

With the ongoing increase in global energy demand, the significance of innovations in oil exploration and development technologies is rising, especially in relation to the development of unconventional reservoirs. The application of horizontal wells is becoming increasingly important in this particular situation. However, accurately monitoring and analyzing fluids in horizontal wells remains challenging due to the complex and fluctuating flow patterns of oil-water two-phase flow within the wellbore. Several elements, including well slope angle, flow rate, and water content, are involved. This study aimed to explore and develop an effective method for forecasting flow patterns, improving the precision of the dynamic monitoring of oil-water two-phase flow in horizontal wells. By analyzing the flow patterns in different experimental conditions, a predictive model using the SOA-BP neural network was developed, providing a scientific basis for dynamic monitoring in actual production scenarios. Initially, the simulated experiment for oil-water two-phase flow was carried out at room temperature and pressure utilizing a multiphase flow simulator. An optically transparent wellbore, with a diameter comparable to that of a real downhole well, was utilized, and No. 10 industrial white oil and tap water were employed as the experimental fluids. The experiment considered multiple contributing factors, including different well deviation, total flow, and water cut. The flow characteristics of oil and water were observed via visual monitoring and high-definition video, followed by detailed analysis. After collecting the experimental data, flow regimes for various scenarios were classified based on the established theory of oil-water two-phase flow in horizontal wells; then, detailed flow distribution diagrams were drawn. These data and diagrams presented offer a visual representation of the behavioral patterns exhibited by oil-water two-phase flow under varying situations and form the basis for subsequent model training and testing. Subsequently, based on the experimental data, this study combined the Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA) with a BP neural network to effectively learn and predict the experimental data. The SOA optimized the weights and biases of the BP neural network, improving the model’s convergence speed and prediction accuracy. Through rigorous training and testing, an oil-water two-phase flow pattern forecasting model was established, effectively predicting flow patterns under different well deviation, total flow, and water cut conditions. Finally, to validate the efficiency of the established model, a total of 15 data points were chosen from a sample well for validation. By comparing the flow patterns predicted by the model with actual logging data, the results indicate that the model’s accuracy in identifying flow pattern was 86.67%. This demonstrates that the flow pattern prediction model based on the SOA-BP neural network achieved a high level of accuracy under different complicated working conditions. This model effectively fulfills the requirements for dynamic monitoring in actual production. This indicates that the SOA-BP neural network-based flow pattern forecasting method is highly valuable due to its practical application value and provides an efficient technical approach for the development of unconventional reservoirs and the dynamic monitoring of horizontal wells in the future.

Through calculation and analysis, it was found that the root mean square error of the prediction model using the BP neural network algorithm was the lowest, and the decision coefficient of the prediction model using the support vector machine algorithm was the highest.

Research on the HHO improved BP neural network fault prediction algorithm for distribution networks based on weather factors

Abstract Weather factors have a substantial impact on the operation and maintenance of the distribution network, but the current system fault prediction platform mainly focuses on the operating characteristics of the system, that is, the internal parameters, and rarely considers the external parameters. Firstly, by studying the fault data of the distribution network in a city in northern China caused by weather factors, this paper obtains the main weather factors affecting the reliability of power supply in this area. Then, the Harris Hawks optimization (HHO) improved BP neural network algorithm is used to establish the main reliability evaluation models suitable for this region, and based on this, the fault probability of this region is predicted under the target weather. Finally, the prediction results are compared with the actual fault data caused by weather factors in this area. The results show that both the PSO-BP algorithm and HHO-BP neural network algorithm achieve better prediction accuracy than the BP neural network algorithm, and the HHO-BP algorithm has better convergence speed.

Optimization of magnetic circuit in electro-controlled permanent magnet blank holder process with magnetorheological elastomers and analysis of its impact on deep drawing

Addressing the issue of blank holder force (BHF) attenuation caused by the blank-holder gap in the EPMBH process, this study proposes a solution: employing magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) as a magnetic medium to fill these gaps, thus constructing an optimized edging magnetic circuit aimed at reducing magnetic loss and enhancing BHF. Initially, the study utilizes finite element analysis to build a dataset, followed by the application of a particle swarm to optimization BP neural network for magnetic force prediction and modeling. This process reveals the coupling relationship between the working gap thickness, MRE's relative permeability, and magnetic force, where the training and testing results of the model show an average error is around 5 %. Further, by applying a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the magnetic permeability of MRE, the theoretical optimal relative permeability curve of MRE is determined. To facilitate production, the goal is set to achieve 98 % of the maximum magnetic force, based on which further optimization is conducted to establish the engineering design range for MRE's relative permeability. Subsequently, MRE samples were designed and manufactured, and combined with a 36-pole EPM magnetic loading mechanism for experimental validation. The results show that the error between the predicted and experimental outcomes is 5.2 %, and the deep drawing experiments further confirm that the introduction of MRE helps the electronically controlled permanent magnet edging process to accommodate the deep drawing needs of slabs with varying thicknesses. This discovery provides valuable guidance for the improvement of the EPMBH process.

Identification of key biomarkers for early warning of diabetic retinopathy using BP neural network algorithm and hierarchical clustering analysis

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common microangiopathy in diabetes, essentially caused by abnormal blood glucose metabolism resulting from insufficient insulin secretion or reduced insulin activity. Epidemiological survey results show that about one third of diabetes patients have signs of diabetic retinopathy, and another third may suffer from serious retinopathy that threatens vision. However, the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy is still unclear, and there is no systematic method to detect the onset of the disease and effectively predict its occurrence. In this study, we used medical detection data from diabetic retinopathy patients to determine key biomarkers that induce disease onset through back propagation neural network algorithm and hierarchical clustering analysis, ultimately obtaining early warning signals of the disease. The key markers that induce diabetic retinopathy have been detected, which can also be used to explore the induction mechanism of disease occurrence and deliver strong warning signal before disease occurrence. We found that multiple clinical indicators that form key markers, such as glycated hemoglobin, serum uric acid, alanine aminotransferase are closely related to the occurrence of the disease. They respectively induced disease from the aspects of the individual lipid metabolism, cell oxidation reduction, bone metabolism and bone resorption and cell function of blood coagulation. The key markers that induce diabetic retinopathy complications do not act independently, but form a complete module to coordinate and work together before the onset of the disease, and transmit a strong warning signal. The key markers detected by this algorithm are more sensitive and effective in the early warning of disease. Hence, a new method related to key markers is proposed for the study of diabetic microvascular lesions. In clinical prediction and diagnosis, doctors can use key markers to give early warning of individual diseases and make early intervention.
