Multi-scenario Load Combinatorial Optimization Based on Improved Greedy Algorithm by Yan WANG, Jing JIANG, Hengjing HE, Ciwei GAO, Yong XIAO

“…In order to integrate and optimize user resources according to the complementarity and diversity of power load, a user load combinatorial optimization model is proposed respectively for the scenarios of maximum purchase and sale benefits, maximum electricity transaction, and maximum comprehensive load rate based on the analysis of user load characteristics. And then, the greedy search algorithm is improved by introducing random factors to remedy the defects of the algorithm in determination of the initial estimation and optimization effects, thus improving the quality and accuracy of the algorithm. …”

FDEM numerical simulation of size effect on mechanical properties of basalts with hidden microcracks by Yi Enbing

“…The mechanical properties obtained at this size are considered equivalent continuum properties and could be used as input parameters of rock blocks in complete rock mass or jointed rock mass for the numerical analysis at an engineering scale. (3) With the increase in the sample dimension, basalt changes from a small-sized complete sample to a medium-sized sample with local defects and then to an REV-sized sample with sufficient defects, the stress–strain curve characteristics under Brazilian disc splitting change from a single-peak shape to a zigzag shape and then to a multi-peak shape, and the failure modes changes from a single-center splitting failure mode to a local structure-controlled failure mode and then to a multi-center splitting failure mode, with the gradual decrease in the brittleness degree. …”
