Recent studies show that energy consumption of buildings has dramatically increased over the last decade, accounting for more than 35% global use. However, with proper operation, significant savings can be achieved. Demand response is envisioned as a key enabler this operation enhancement, it may contribute to reduction demand peaks and maximization renewable exploitation while mitigating poten...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

Natural disaster is one of the major environmental challenges in world has serious socioeconomic consequences Evidence points to fact that these a significant negative impact crop yield, food security, there need conduct micro-level studies help generate empirically evidence e...

nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. wca is used to solve complicate...
