Abstract:

Optimum control of upstream pumping station in open channels with given constraint in downstream end is presented in this paper. The upstream control is capable of minimizing water level fluctuations in the channel in which the downstream pumping station causes an undesirable wave. The proposed method combines an unsteady non-uniform flow solver with shock-capturing capability, Fourier series and metaheuristic firefly algorithm. Fourier series is used to estimate the optimum inflow control and firefly algorithm is utilized to determine the unknown coefficients in the series. With a suitable objective function, the procedure generates the optimum inflow hydrograph that can effectively cancel destructive downstream waves. The results have been compared with the results obtained by a variational approach and show satisfactory improvement both in simplicity and the value of objective function.

A Framework for Modeling and Control of Wastewater Pumping Stations

In waste water pumping stations, centrifugal pumps driven by induction motors are used to transport the effluent collected from residential and commercial buildings to the treatment plants. Due to the varying nature of collected effluent rate, means of pump flow control should be applied. Recently, there is an engineering debate on either recommending frequency converters control or on-and-off ...

Optimal test sequence generation using firefly algorithm

Software testing is an important but complex part of software development life cycle. The optimization of the software testing process is a major challenge, and the generation of the independent test paths remains unsatisfactory. In this paper, we present an approach based on metaheuristic firefly algorithm to generate optimal test paths. In order to optimize the test case paths, we use a modif...
