There is an increasing interest in renewable and green energy sources and the integration of Distributed Generation DG into the power grid system. The problem of optimal capacitor allocation in electric distribution systems involves maximizing energy utilization, feeder loss reduction, and power factor correction. The feeder loss can be separated into two parts based on the active and reactive ...

In this research, an intelligent multi-objective nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme is proposed for its application in the ‘on-line’ optimization of dynamical gas turbine model. The scheme proposed belongs to the sub-optimal NMPC strategies where near-optimal, instead of global optimal, control solutions are obtained at each control sampling time. The complexity of NMPC implementa...

Abstract—A Particle Swarm optimized Fuzzy Logic Congestion Detection (FLCD) was recently proposed for best-effort service networks. This algorithm synergically combines the good characteristics of traditional Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms and fuzzy logic based AQM algorithms. Its membership functions are designed automatically by using a Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (M...

In this paper, a bi-objective multi-product (r,Q) inventory model in which the inventory level is reviewed continuously is proposed. The aim of this work is to find the optimal value for both order quantity and reorder point through minimizing the total cost and maximizing the service level of the proposed model simultaneously. It is assumed that shortage could occur and unsatisfied demand coul...

Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers (MOPSOs) are easily trapped in local optima, cost more function evaluations and suffer from the curse of dimensionality. A scalable cooperative coevolution and -dominance based MOPSO (CEPSO) is proposed to address these issues. In CEPSO, Multi-objective Optimization Problems (MOPs) are decomposed in terms of their decision variables and are optimized b...
