Research on Radio Network Intelligent Frequency Selection Technology Based on an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm by Wenjun Wang

“…In order to solve the problem of selecting frequency more and more difficultly for radio network,an intelligent frequency selection technology based on an adaptive genetic algorithm was proposed.Frequencies were selected for whole radio network from the perspective of intelligent optimization.On the basis of the standard genetic algorithm,this novel method improved genetic operators,and the preservation of the optimal individual algorithm to ensure the diversity of the population was introduced.Therefore,the arithmetic which did well in avoiding some deficiencies of the traditional frequency selection algorithm prevented local optimization and ran into overall optimization ultimately.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the new algorithm in solving the problem of frequency selection for large-scale network has higher efficiency and precision than the traditional algorithm,and stability is significantly enhanced.…”

“…In order to enhance the inertia situational awareness and stability of the power system in the context of the reduction of power system inertia and the challenge of frequency stability due to the high proportion of new energy access, the background and purpose of the study are stated in the introduction; methodologically, based on the frequency response model of the power system, we analyze the time and magnitude of the maximum frequency offset, clarify the factors affecting the frequency stability and construct the mathematical relationship, and then build a model for assessing the minimum inertia of the power system taking into account the virtual inertia of the new energy source. Then, based on the whole process of frequency response, we construct a power system minimum inertia assessment model taking into account the virtual inertia of new energy sources, and introduce an improved simulated annealing algorithm to solve the problem; the results validate the accuracy of the method through the IEEE-14 node model; the discussion section points out that this method provides a feasible solution for the inertia situational awareness of power system, which is helpful for the optimization of the operation, and also proposes that in the future we can take into account more uncertainties to improve the model and algorithm and to enhance the practicability and adaptability of this method. …”
