    Improvement of system reliability in a natural gas processing facility by PSO and DE
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Saheb, Tafsouthe; Mellal, Mohamed Arezki
    The reliability of the systems as well as its optimization is the first concern of the designers. The elements of a given system can be either in series, parallel, parallel-series, or in a complex configuration. This paper addresses the reliability optimization of a natural gas processing facility. The reliability of this system is calculated and two redundancies strategies, active and standby, are optimized under the resource limits to improve reliability. Two bio-inspired optimization algorithms, namely the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the differential evolution (DE), are implemented with penalty functions to find the optimal redundancy. The results obtained are compared.

    An adaptive cuckoo optimization algorithm for system design optimization under failure dependencies
    (SAGE Publications, 2019) Mellal, Mohamed Arezki; Zio, Enrico
    This article presents an algorithm for optimal redundancy and repair team allocation with respect to minimum system cost and a system availability constraint. Four scenarios are considered for the failures occurring in the subsystems of the system: independence, linear dependence, weak dependence, and strong dependence. An adaptive cuckoo optimization algorithm is developed for solving the nonlinear integer optimization problem of allocation. A series–parallel system with six subsystems is considered as a case study for demonstration purposes. The results obtained highlight the good performance of the developed algorithm
