Nesse caso emprega-se uma versão relaxada do problema de planejamento da expansão de sistemas de transmissão usando o modelo de corrente contínua, onde a integralidade das variáveis de investimento é desprezada. Resolve-se o problema de programação não-linear, modelado de forma matricial com um algoritmo de otimização especializado e, além disso, um algoritmo heurístico construtivo especializado é utilizado para resolver o problema de planejamento. c) Usando o modelo de corrente contínua e um algoritmo Branch and Bound (B&B) sem empregar técnicas de decomposição. Para isso foram redefinidos os chamados testes de sondagem no algoritmo B&B e em cada nó da árvore de B&B tem-se um problema de programação não-linear que são resolvidos usando a metodologia desenvolvida no item (b). Os ítens (a), (b) e (c) requerem a solução de problemas de programação não-linear diferenciados. Uma revisão das características principais da resolução iterativa dos métodos de pontos interiores é apresentada. Foi desenvolvida uma técnica baseada em uma combinação de métodos de pontos interiores de alta ordem (MPI-AO) para resolver os problemas de programação não-linear de forma rápida, eficiente e robusta. Essa combinação dos MPI-AO tem como objetivo colocar num único método as características particulares de cada um dos MPI-AO e melhorar o desempenho computacional comparado com os MPI-AO de forma individual / Abstract: In this work mathematical models and solution techniques are proposed to solve the power system transmission expansion planning problem through three approaches: a) Using the nonlinear model ofthe transmission system (AC model) and a specialized constructive heuristic algorithm to solve the problem and, yet, a first attempt to allocate reactive power sources is also considered; b) Using the direct-current (DC) model and specialized techniques of nonlinear programming. In this case a version of the power system transmission expansion planning problem using the DC model where the integrality of the investment variables is relaxed is used. The nonlinear programming problem is solved with a specialized optimization algorithm and, moreover, a constructive heuristic algorithm is employed to solve the planning problem. c) Using the DC model and Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm without the use of decomposition techniques. The so called fathoming tests of the B&B were redefined and at each node of the tree a nonlinear programming problem is solved using the method developed in b). Items a), b) and c) require the solution of distinct problems of nonlinear programming. A revision of the main characteristics of the iterative solution of the interior points methods is presented. An optimization technique based on a combination of the higher order interior point methods (HO-IPM) had been developed to solve the nonlinear programming problems in a fast, efficient and robust way. This combination of the HO-IPM has as objective to explore the particular characteristics of each method in a single one and to improve the comparative computational performance with the HO-IPM of individual form / Doutorado / Energia Eletrica / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Parallelisation of hybrid metaheuristics for COP solving / Parallélisation de métaheuristiques hybrides pour la résolution de POC

Labidi, Mohamed Khalil 20 September 2018 (has links)
L’Optimisation Combinatoire (OC) est un domaine de recherche qui est en perpétuel changement. Résoudre un problème d’optimisation combinatoire (POC) consiste essentiellement à trouver la ou les meilleures solutions dans un ensemble des solutions réalisables appelé espace de recherche qui est généralement de cardinalité exponentielle en la taille du problème. Pour résoudre des POC, plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées dans la littérature. On distingue principalement les méthodes exactes et les méthodes d’approximation. Ne pouvant pas viser une résolution exacte de problèmes NP-Complets lorsque la taille du problème dépasse une certain seuil, les chercheurs on eu de plus en plus recours, depuis quelques décennies, aux algorithmes dits hybrides (AH) ou encore à au calcul parallèle. Dans cette thèse, nous considérons la classe POC des problèmes de conception d'un réseau fiable. Nous présentons un algorithme hybride parallèle d'approximation basé sur un algorithme glouton, un algorithme de relaxation Lagrangienne et un algorithme génétique, qui produit des bornes inférieure et supérieure pour les formulations à base de flows. Afin de valider l'approche proposée, une série d'expérimentations est menée sur plusieurs applications: le Problème de conception d'un réseau k-arête-connexe avec contrainte de borne (kHNDP) avec L=2,3, le problème de conception d'un réseau fiable Steiner k-arête-connexe (SkESNDP) et ensuite deux problèmes plus généraux, à savoir le kHNDP avec L >= 2 et le problème de conception d'un réseau fiable k-arête-connexe (kESNDP). L'étude expérimentale de la parallélisation est présentée après cela. Dans la dernière partie de ce travail, nous présentons deux algorithmes parallèles exactes: un Branch-and-Bound distribué et un Branch-and-Cut distribué. Une série d'expérimentation a été menée sur une grappe de 128 processeurs, et des accélération intéressantes ont été atteintes pour la résolution du problèmes kHNDP avec k=3 et L=3. / Combinatorial Optimization (CO) is an area of research that is in a constant progress. Solving a Combinatorial Optimization Problem (COP) consists essentially in finding the best solution (s) in a set of feasible solutions called a search space that is usually exponential in cardinality in the size of the problem. To solve COPs, several methods have been proposed in the literature. A distinction is made mainly between exact methods and approximation methods. Since it is not possible to aim for an exact resolution of NP-Complete problems when the size of the problem exceeds a certain threshold, researchers have increasingly used Hybrid (HA) or parallel computing algorithms in recent decades. In this thesis we consider the COP class of Survivability Network Design Problems. We present an approximation parallel hybrid algorithm based on a greedy algorithm, a Lagrangian relaxation algorithm and a genetic algorithm which produces both lower and upper bounds for flow-based formulations. In order to validate the proposed approach, a series of experiments is carried out on several applications: the k-Edge-Connected Hop-Constrained Network Design Problem (kHNDP) when L = 2,3, The problem of the Steiner k-Edge-Connected Network Design Problem (SkESNDP) and then, two more general problems namely the kHNDP when L >= 2 and the k-Edge-Connected Network Design Problem (kESNDP). The experimental study of the parallelisation is presented after that. In the last part of this work, we present a two parallel exact algorithms: a distributed Branch-and-Bound and a distributed Branch-and-Cut. A series of experiments has been made on a cluster of 128 processors and interesting speedups has been reached in kHNDP resolution when k=3 and L=3.

GIS-based Episode Reconstruction Using GPS Data for Activity Analysis and Route Choice Modeling / GIS-based Episode Reconstruction Using GPS Data

Dalumpines, Ron 26 September 2014 (has links)
Most transportation problems arise from individual travel decisions. In response, transportation researchers had been studying individual travel behavior – a growing trend that requires activity data at individual level. Global positioning systems (GPS) and geographical information systems (GIS) have been used to capture and process individual activity data, from determining activity locations to mapping routes to these locations. Potential applications of GPS data seem limitless but our tools and methods to make these data usable lags behind. In response to this need, this dissertation presents a GIS-based toolkit to automatically extract activity episodes from GPS data and derive information related to these episodes from additional data (e.g., road network, land use). The major emphasis of this dissertation is the development of a toolkit for extracting information associated with movements of individuals from GPS data. To be effective, the toolkit has been developed around three design principles: transferability, modularity, and scalability. Two substantive chapters focus on selected components of the toolkit (map-matching, mode detection); another for the entire toolkit. Final substantive chapter demonstrates the toolkit’s potential by comparing route choice models of work and shop trips using inputs generated by the toolkit. There are several tools and methods that capitalize on GPS data, developed within different problem domains. This dissertation contributes to that repository of tools and methods by presenting a suite of tools that can extract all possible information that can be derived from GPS data. Unlike existing tools cited in the transportation literature, the toolkit has been designed to be complete (covers preprocessing up to extracting route attributes), and can work with GPS data alone or in combination with additional data. Moreover, this dissertation contributes to our understanding of route choice decisions for work and shop trips by looking into the combined effects of route attributes and individual characteristics. / Dissertation / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
