Abstract
En 中文
It is important to estimate the source term for a gas emission event in atmosphere. Optimization method is one of the useful tools to identify the source parameters by solving the inverse problem. Swarm intelligent optimization (SIO) algorithm has been used to estimate the source term successfully. However, there are still some issues for the SIO method. Therefore, an active firefly algorithm (AFA) method was proposed to improve the estimation performance of common passive firefly algorithm (PFA) for source estimation. Then, the release experiment cases were used to test the AFA method. The comparison results prove that AFA has much higher computation efficiency than PFA and PSO as well as higher estimation accuracy. Further, different effect factors on the performance of AFA were discussed. Compared with common PFA, the estimation results of AFA are more robust with different population number, and the estimation accuracy of AFA with less population scale is better than that of PFA. The estimation of AFA with less generation is better than that of PFA, and the computation efficiency of AFA is improved significantly. Finally, the effect of sensor numbers on AFA method was discussed. The estimation accuracy increases with the sensor numbers. AFA can still obtain a better estimation result with less sensor amount than PFA. Hence, the proposed AFA method has better performance than the commonly used SIO method to estimate the atmospheric source term. It is a potentially useful method for gas emission inverse problem.
