Since MRFO is designed to solve real-valued optimization problems, we adapted a binary version of MRFO to suit the domain of process mining. The proposed approach is compared with state-of-the-art process discovery algorithms on several synthetic and real-life event logs. The results show that compared to other algorithms, the proposed approach exhibits faster convergence and yields superior quality process models.

Enhancing parameter identification for proton exchange membrane fuel cell using modified manta ray foraging optimization

In this paper, an accurate model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) for optimal identification of PEMFC parameters has been developed. The optimization methodology is based on the modified version of Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MMRFO) technique for minimizing the sum of squared errors (SSE) between the Experimentally measured stack voltage and the estimated voltage produced by the optimized model. In the modified methodology, the sine-cosine method has been utilized to enhance the global searching capability in the exploration phase and the local searching capability in the exploitation phase of the MRFO algorithm. In order to validate the effectiveness of the suggested methodology, four different case studies comprising standard benchmark 250 W PEMFC, BCS-500 W PEMFC, SR-12 500 W FC, and 1 kW Temasek stacks were utilized, and the attainments have been compared with the measured polarization characteristics. The attainments have been intensively compared with several metaheuristic algorithms (MA) including Tree growth Algorithm (TGA), Grey wolf optimizer (GWO), Whale optimization algorithm (WOA), Salp swarm algorithm (SSA), and original Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO), to confirm the superiority of the MMRFO against the compared techniques. The obtained results give a satisfactory agreement between the MMRFO-based model and the experimentally measured data. Finally, the achievements confirmed the effectiveness of the MMRFO over the basic MRFO algorithm and other novel metaheuristic algorithms in identifying PEMFC parameters.

Research and application of a novel weight-based evolutionary ensemble model using principal component analysis for wind power prediction

Accurate prediction of wind power is crucial for optimizing wind energy utilization and ensuring the secure, cost-effective, and stable operation of power systems. To address this, a novel approach is proposed that combines a multi-network deep ensemble model with an improved manta ray foraging optimization algorithm (IMRFO) and feature selection for wind power prediction. Firstly, principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to select the principal component with a cumulative contribution rate of 95 %. Secondly, the ensemble prediction model is constructed in the layer-1, incorporating extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and temporal convolutional network (TCN). Additionally, an error-based weighted fusion method is implemented to combine the outputs of three learners. In the layer-2, random forest (RF) employed to make predictions based on the fused results. To further enhance the predictive capabilities of the model, an enhanced MRFO algorithm, incorporating chaos initialization and Gauss-Cauchy mutation strategy, is added. The experiment shows that the deep ensemble model using PCA and IMRFO outperforms XGBoost, GRU, and TCN in predicting. On four datasets, the RMSE of the proposed model is improved by over 45 % compared to them. These findings strongly support the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model in this domain.

Enhanced performance of a hybrid adsorption desalination system integrated with solar PV/T collectors: Experimental investigation and machine learning modeling coupled with manta ray foraging algorithm

This study explores the performance augmentation of a solar adsorption desalination system (SADS) powered by a hybrid solar thermal system with evacuated tubes and photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collectors, both numerically and experimentally. The system concurrently generates both electrical power via the PV/T system and desalinated water through the SADS. The cooling of photovoltaic cells is achieved through the utilization of chilled water produced during the desalination process of the SADS, which aims to enhance the electrical efficiency of photovoltaic cells and optimize the overall utilization of the adsorption distillation cycle. The SADS is examined under different operational scenarios and thoroughly assessed in terms of specific cooling power, specific daily freshwater product, and the coefficient of performance (COP). More so, a hybrid machine learning framework integrating an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) fine-tuned through the utilization of a manta ray foraging optimization algorithm (MRFOA) is also developed to predict the performance parameters of the SADS. The experiments indicated that the modified PV/T system improved the PV efficiency by 18 % at peak time, where the yielded electrical power and electrical efficiency reached 112 W/m2 and 11.13 %, respectively. The specific freshwater product (SWP), specific cooling power (SCP), and COP of the SADS are estimated as 53.3 L/ton-cycle (6.30 m3/ton-day), 153 W/kg, and 0.25, respectively. Furthermore, Furthermore, the simulated findings showed that the deterministic coefficient and RMSE of the predictive SWP are 0.989 and 1.314 for ANFIS-MRFOA and 0.965 and 2.323 for typical ANFIS, respectively. Hence, the ANFIS-MRFOA exhibited the highest prediction accuracy and can be deemed a potent optimization tool for forecasting the energetic performance of adsorption distillation systems.

In response, this study establishes a multi-step optimization platform for the hybrid cooling array, with the dual objectives of improving the cooling efficiency and coolant utilization. The design space involves the impingement hole diameter, film hole pitch in the spanwise and streamwise directions, thickness of the cellular partition and film cooling plate, height of impingement channel, and configuration inclination. Furthermore, two types of coolant supply condition are incorporated into the study. To attain the dual objectives, we specify a fixed constraint on the coolant supply per unit area. Taguchi method is chosen for the initial design of partial factors that have a weak nonlinear relationship with the cooling effectiveness. Optimization is conducted by long short-term memory model combined with manta ray foraging optimization algorithm for the residual factors which maintain a strong nonlinear relationship with the cooling effectiveness. Using the Taguchi method, the optimal combination for maximum cooling performance and relative contribution level of initial design factors have been successfully determined, and a set of mechanism analyses are given accordingly. LSTM model achieved a high reconstruction precision for the laterally averaged cooling effectiveness (ηlat¯) of the hybrid cooling array, with mean absolute error of 0.31 % and 0.83 % for ηlat¯, determination coefficient of 0.9997 and 0.9988 for the area-averaged overall cooling effectiveness (ηov¯), in the training and testing group, respectively. Meanwhile, the optimized cooling array exhibits an encouraging performance, with 8.94 % and 10.37 % improvements on ηov¯ for two coolant supplies, respectively. It is believed that the proposed framework can be generalized to optimize other forms of hybrid cooling array.

A milling power model for computer numerical control (CNC) machines, considering tool wear and workpiece material properties during machining, is established. At the same time, milling is taken as the research object. A multi-objective cutting parameter optimization model is established to ensure the surface quality of the workpiece. In addition, the cutting energy consumption is taken into account in the developed models. Based on the multi-objective manta ray foraging optimization algorithm (MOMRFO), the Pareto-optimal solution set under multiple cutting conditions is solved. Finally, the experimental results of optimized parameters are compared with empirical parameters. The average prediction accuracy of the proposed energy consumption prediction model is above 91%. The experiments show that machining quality improves by optimizing the cutting parameters, with SEC, MRR, and Ra increasing by more than 44%, 53%, and 38%, respectively. The goals of reducing energy consumption and increasing productivity are achieved.

An improved manta ray foraging optimization algorithm

The Manta Ray Foraging Optimization Algorithm (MRFO) is a metaheuristic algorithm for solving real-world problems. However, MRFO suffers from slow convergence precision and is easily trapped in a local optimal. Hence, to overcome these deficiencies, this paper proposes an Improved MRFO algorithm (IMRFO) that employs Tent chaotic mapping, the bidirectional search strategy, and the Levy flight strategy. Among these strategies, Tent chaotic mapping distributes the manta ray more uniformly and improves the quality of the initial solution, while the bidirectional search strategy expands the search area. The Levy flight strategy strengthens the algorithm’s ability to escape from local optimal. To verify IMRFO’s performance, the algorithm is compared with 10 other algorithms on 23 benchmark functions, the CEC2017 and CEC2022 benchmark suites, and five engineering problems, with statistical analysis illustrating the superiority and significance of the difference between IMRFO and other algorithms. The results indicate that the IMRFO outperforms the competitor optimization algorithms.

Reduced order infinite impulse response system identification using manta ray foraging optimization

This article presents a useful application of the Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) algorithm for solving the adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) system identification problem. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated on four benchmark IIR models for reduced order system identification. The stability of the proposed estimated IIR system is assured by incorporating a pole-finding and initialization routine in the search procedure of the MRFO algorithm and this algorithmic modification contributes to the MRFO algorithm when seeking stable IIR filter solutions. The absence of such a scheme, which is primarily the case with the majority of the recently published literature, may lead to the generation of an unstable IIR filter for unknown real-world instances (particularly when the estimation order increases). Experiments conducted in this study highlight that the proposed technique helps to achieve a stable filter even though large bounds for the design variables are considered. The convergence rate, robustness, and computational speed of MRFO for all the considered problems are investigated. The influence of the control parameters of MRFO on the design performances is evaluated to gain insight into the interaction between the three foraging strategies of the algorithm. Extensive statistical performance analyses employing various non-parametric hypothesis tests concerning the design consistency and convergence are conducted for comparison of the proposed MRFO-based approach with six other metaheuristic search procedures to investigate the efficiency. The results on the mean square error metric also highlight the improved solution quality of the proposed approach compared to the various techniques published in the literature.

This paper proposes a plan to manage energy consumption in residential areas using the demand response method, which allows electricity users to contribute to the reliability of the power system by controlling their usage. Due to the growing population, the residential sector consumes a significant amount of energy, and the objectives of this study are to lower electricity costs and the peak to average ratio, as well as reduce the amount of imported electricity from the grid. The study aims to maximize profit by properly utilizing renewable energy sources and addressing energy trading. The manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) and long term memory MRFO (LMMRFO) algorithms are used to solve this problem.
