Abstract:

To achieve optimal performance of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process with nonstationary time-varying dynamics, a dynamic multi-objective operation optimization method (DSE-TrMOPSO), based on transfer learning, is proposed in this paper. First, the operation optimization models are established using data stream ensemble learning, where incremental updating and selective ensemble strategies are adopted to cope with changing working conditions. Second, a dynamic multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on transfer learning (CTrDMOPSO) is designed for optimization calculation. In this algorithm, the hierarchical clustering-based transfer learning strategy is proposed to construct the initial population with high quality. Afterwards, the knee point-based decision making is performed to determine the final setpoints of manipulated variables for index optimization. Then, the feasibility of the designed algorithm CTrDMOPSO is verified on the benchmark problems. Finally, the proposed DSE-TrMOPSO is applied to the MSWI process. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve satisfactory operation performance in terms of combustion efficiency and nitrogen oxides emissions. Note to Practitioners—This study aims to develop an optimal operation method for the MSWI process with nonstationary time-varying dynamics. To achieve this goal, an operation optimization method based on transfer learning is proposed, which includes two key points, the operation optimization modeling and the dynamic multi-objective optimization. In practice, practitioners can implement the proposed method utilizing real-time data streams. The optimization objective models are constructed by data stream ensemble learning, and the time-varying dynamics can be captured with incremental updating and selective ensemble strategies. After that, the optimal setpoints of manipulated variables are derived by the designed dynamic multi-objective particle swarm optimizatio...
