Railway electrification has attracted substantial interest in recent years as a key part of the global effort to achieve transport decarbonization. To improve energy efficiency train operations, particular is optimization speed trajectories. However, most studies formulate problem single-objective model and do not take into account mass uncertainty associated with passenger load variations. Thi...

Fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers are designed for load-frequency control (LFC) of two interconnected power systems. Conflicting time-domain design objectives are considered in a multi-objective optimization (MOO)-based design framework to design the gains and the fractional differ-integral orders of the FOPID controllers in the two areas. Here, we explore th...

This research work investigates the theoretical foundations and computational aspects of constructing optimal bespoke CDO structures. Due to the evolutionary nature of the CDO design process, stochastic search methods that mimic the metaphor of natural biological evolution are applied. For efficient searching the optimal solution, the nondominating sort genetic algorithm NSGA-II is used, which ...

Casting production scheduling problem has attracted increasing research attention in recent years to facilitate the profits, efficiency, and environment issues of casting industry. is often characterized by properties intensive energy consumption complex process routes, which motivate in-depth investigation on construction practical multi-objective models development effective algorithms. In th...

The problem here dealt with is that of Service Restoration (SR) in automated distribution networks. In such networks, configuration and compensation level as well as loads insertion status can be remotely controlled. The considered SR problem should be handled using Multiobjective Optimization, MO, techniques since its solution requires a compromise between different criteria. In the adopted fo...
