Optimisation of CCPP speed control parameters using genetic algorithm
Abstract: This paper is focused on using the conventional Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controllers optimised using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to control the speed of a Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP). The system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and the PID controller is implemented as a box in the simulation where the parameters KP, KI and KD have been determined using the GA. Di...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Radiation Dose Rates of Patients Receiving Treatment with I-131 Using Telescopic Radiation Survey Meter
Introduction In order to discharge the patients receiving treatment with large radiation doses of 131I for thyroid cancer, it is necessary to measure and evaluate the external dose rates of these patients. The aim of the study was to assess a new method of external dose rate measurement, and to analyze the obtained results as a function of time. Materials and Methods In this study, a telescopic...
متن کاملRadiation dose and image quality optimisation in medical imaging
Radiation dose and image quality optimisation in medical imaging was published in the University of Salford (UK) Open Access online database in April 2015. Material held in this and similar databases is available for free via the Internet, to be read, downloaded and copied for noncommercial private study or research purposes. Publishing in this fashion has benefits to the author, for instance i...
متن کاملRadiation dose optimisation in biomedical imaging and intervention
Situations in life are never simply black and white. There are many shades of gray. The gray zones provide a lot of playing ground for scientists engaged in optimisation. We all understand what is meant by optimisation, such as " the procedure or procedures used to make a system or design as effective or as functional as possible " or " making the best of anything ". Thus, the driving force is ...
متن کاملAre more complicated tumour control probability models better?
Mathematical models for the tumour control probability (TCP) are used to estimate the expected success of radiation treatment protocols of cancer. There are several TCP models in the literature, from the simplest (Poissonian TCP) to the well-advanced stochastic birth-death processes. Simple and complex models often make the same predictions. Hence, here, we present a systematic study where we c...
