Abstract: In this work, a new Hybrid PSO-Whale Optimization (HPWO) algorithm is introduced to optimize energy consumption in slipform construction. By combining the global exploration power of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with the local exploitation strengths of Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), the HPWO algorithm enhances energy management through dynamic adjustment mechanisms. A comprehensive multi-objective optimization model is developed, addressing the interactions between hydraulic, climbing, and vibration systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the HPWO algorithm reduces energy consumption by an average of 18.5%, outperforming traditional optimization methods and offering a practical solution for improving construction efficiency.
