Dimensionality Reduction in Optimal Process Design with Many Uncertain Sustainability Objectives
Hongxuan Wang, Andrew Allman
August 16, 2024. Originally submitted on July 9, 2024
The study of sustainable design has gained prominence in response to the growing emphasis on environmental and social impacts of critical infrastructure. Addressing the different dimensions inherent in sustainability issues necessitates the application of many-objective optimization techniques. In this work, an illustrative four-objective design system is formulated, wherein uncertainties lie within two different socially-oriented objectives. A stochastic community detection approach is proposed to identify robust groupings of objectives. The findings reveal that the modularity of the optimal solution surpasses that of the average graph, thus demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed approach. Furthermore, a comprehensive exploration of the Pareto frontiers for both the robust and single-scenario best groupings is undertaken, demonstrating that using the robust grouping results in little to no information loss about tradeoffs.
