Research on optimization method of pipeline collaborative engine room equipment layout based on IABC-GA
A layout optimization design method for pipeline collaborative equipment based on improved artificial bee colony genetic algorithm(IABC-GA)is proposed to address the overall layout optimization design problem of ship engine rooms,in order to obtain the best equipment layout scheme and pipeline layout scheme.On the basis of artificial bee colony algorithm and genetic algorithm,an improved algorithm is proposed which is suitable for both equipment layout optimization and pipeline path optimization.Combined with the concept of coevolution,the overall layout optimization problem of ship engine room is decomposed into interrelated equipment layout problems and pipeline layout problems.The two evolve synergistically under mutual influence,ultimately obtaining the best ship engine room layout design scheme.The feasibility and reliability of the pipeline collaborative equipment layout optimization method are verified through simulation experiments on the actual ship engine room.In terms of equipment layout,the effect is improved by 59.5%compared to the original equipment layout.And in terms of the overall ship engine room layout,the effect is improved by 11.8%compared to firstly optimizing the equipment layout and then optimizing the pipeline layout.
