In recent years, various control methods have been proposed for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) plants. Different MPPT PV systems in the literature evaluated terms energy efficiency, conversion, dynamic performance and reliability different environmental conditions. Among methods, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one best due to its ability noise rejection no need pri...

Multicast device-to-device (D2D) communication technology is considered as one of the new technologies in fifth generation (5G) networks that directly addresses need for content sharing among internet users. In fact, when direct available between devices, spectral efficiency improved by reusing licensed cellular spectrum. The current studies show D2D increases network capacity and reduces laten...

In order to minimize power losses caused by high current and improve the voltage profile in the network distribution, the introduction of dispersed generations also called productions decentralized in distribution network (DG) plays an important role. The installation of DGs directly affects the power requested or purchased. The sizing and placement of DGs in the system must be optimal because ...

This paper proposes Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm that combines strengths of Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) and Bees Algorithms (BA). While SFLA can find optimal solutions quickly because of directive searching and exchange of information, BA has higher random that make it easily escape local optima to find global solutions. Thus Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm is able to find optimal solutions q...

Reducing energy consumption is becoming very important in order to keep battery life and lower overall operational costs for heterogeneous real-time multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we first formulate this as a combinatorial optimization problem. Then, a successful meta-heuristic, called Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) is proposed to reduce the energy consumption. Precocity remissi...

Abstract Distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DHFSP) has attracted some attention; however, DHFSP with uncertainty and energy-related element is seldom studied. In this paper, distributed energy-efficient (DEHFSP) fuzzy processing time considered a cooperated shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (CSFLA) presented to optimize makespan, total agreement index energy consumption simultaneous...

The overall cost of companies dealing with the distribution tasks is considerably affected by the way that distributing vehicles are procured. In this paper, a more practical version of capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) in which the decision of purchase or hire of vehicles is simultaneously considered is investigated. In CVRP model capacitated vehicles start from a single depot simulta...
