Ant colony optimization for power plant maintenance scheduling optimization - a five-station hydropower system
A number of algorithms have been developed for the optimization of power plant maintenance schedules. However, the true test of such algorithms occurs when they are applied to real systems. In this paper, the application of an Ant Colony Optimization formulation to a hydropower system is presented. The formulation is found to be effective in handling various constraints commonly encountered in ...
متن کاملUsing Ant Colony Optimization for Infrastructure Maintenance Scheduling
For the optimal planning of maintenance schedules for infrastructural buildings (bridges, tunnels, etc) in urban road systems not only the budget has to be considered but also the impact on traffic to avoid unnecessary traffic jams. In a current research project we develop an optimization tool for this multiobjective problem based on ant colony optimization. In each iteration, the ants produce ...
متن کاملOptimal Distributed Generation (DG) Allocation in Distribution Networks using an Improved Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Algorithm
Abstract: The development of distributed generation (DGs) units in recent years have created challenges in the operation of power grids, especially distribution networks. One of these issues is the optimal allocation (location and capacity) of these units in distribution networks. In this thesis, a method based on the improved ant colony optimization algorithm is presented to solve the problem ...
متن کاملProcess Scheduling Using Ant Colony Optimization Techniques
The growing availability of low cost microprocessors and the evolution of computing networks have enabled the construction of sophisticated distributed systems. The computing capacity of these systems motivated the adoption of clusters to build high performance solutions. The improvement of the process scheduling over clusters originated several proposals of scheduling and load balancing algori...
متن کاملTasks Scheduling using Ant Colony Optimization
Problem statement: Efficient scheduling of the tasks to heterogeneous processors for any application is critical in order to achieve high performance. Finding a feasible schedule for a given task set to a set of heterogeneous processors without exceeding the capacity of the processors, in general, is NP-Hard. Even if there are many conventional approaches available, people have been looking at ...
