The objective of this paper is to present a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) algorithm to linear fractional bi-level multi-objective decision-making problem. TOPSIS is used to yield most appropriate alternative from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous shortest distance from positive ideal solution (PIS) and furthest distance from negative ...

Computing the exact ideal and nadir criterion values is a very ‎important subject in ‎multi-‎objective linear programming (MOLP) ‎problems‎‎. In fact‎, ‎these values define the ideal and nadir points as lower and ‎upper bounds on the nondominated points‎. ‎Whereas determining the ‎ideal point is an easy work‎, ‎because it is equivalent to optimize a ‎convex function (linear function) over a con...

This paper presents a nonlinear-model based hybrid optimal control technique to compute a suboptimal power-split strategy for power/energy management in a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The power-split strategy is obtained as model predictive control solution to the power management control problem (PMCP) of the PHEV, i.e., to decide upon the power distribution among the internal comb...

This paper presents fuzzy goal programming approach to quadratic bi-level programming problem. In the model formulation of the problem, we construct the quadratic membership functions by determining individual best solutions of the quadratic objective functions subject to the system constraints. The quadratic membership functions are then transformed into equivalent linear membership functions ...

The main goal of this paper is to present a new day-ahead energy acquisition model for a distribution company (Disco) in a competitive electricity market environment with Interruptible Load (IL). The work formulates the Disco energy acquisition model as a bi-level optimization problem with some of real issues, and then studies and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of this optimization problem to...

abstractaccidents and natural disasters and crises coming out of them indicate the importance of an integrated planning to reduce their effected. therefore, disaster relief logistics is one of the main activities in disaster management. in this paper, we study the response phase of the disaster management cycle and a bi-objective model has been developed for relief chain logistic in uncertainty...

In this study, a fuzzy bi-level chance constraint programming (FBCP) model is developed for urban ecological management in Xiamen, China. FBCP has advantages balancing trade-offs between multiple decision makers and can address stochastic uncertainty ecosystem management. It also reflect the impact of different violation risk levels emission reduction measures on system benefit, service value, ...

For power retailers in a smart grid, it is necessary to design an economic dispatch method maintain balance between supply and demand on the sale side as well obtain better benefits. This study concentrates of dominant retailer regional market. The considered be equipped with generator resources such distributed photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines (WT), microturbines (MT). As one cannot exactly p...
