Fecha de publicación: 21/07/2016 Fuente: WIPO "swarm" The embodiments relate to a method for the computer-aided control and/or regulation of a technical system, particularly a power generation installation. The actions to be performed in the course of regulation or control are ascertained using a numerical optimization method (e.g., a particle swarm optimization). In this case, the numerical optimization method uses a predetermined simulation model that is used to predict states of the technical system and, on the basis thereof, to ascertain a measure of quality that reflects an optimization criterion for the operation of the technical system.
