The Application of a Differential Evolution Algorithm on Products Structure Optimization in Coal Preparation Plants

摘要

The problem of product structure optimization always appears in the coal preparation plants, mines, and mining areas three ranks. The Differential Evolution Algorithm is applied to optimize the product structure in coal preparation plants. A model optimizing the coal product structure and maximizing economic benefit of coal preparation plants is developed, with the use of a Differential Evolution Algorithm toolbox in optimization software called 1stopt, then the optimum solution of the products processing is achieved. The model using the Differential Evolution Algorithm is tested through actual data; test results prove that the Differential Evolution Algorithm can be used to optimize the product structure in coal preparation plants and it has characters of simple principle, strong ability of global convergence, memorizing optimum solution, and the optimization results accord with the practical situation.View full textDownload full textKeywordsCoal preparation plants, Differential Evolution Algorithm, Maximization of economic benefit, Optimization, Product structureRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19392699.2011.606246
