In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...

In most industrial zones, electric energy is one of the most important energy sources. Since electrical motors are the main energy consumers of industrial factories, consumption optimization in these motors can be considered as a main option related to energy saving. One very effective way to reduce the consumption of these equipment is to use a motor speed controllers or drives. Since the loss...

Many authors have examined lot sizing, scheduling and sequence of multi-product flow shops, but most of them have assumed that set up times are independent of sequence. Whereas dependence of set up times to sequence is more common in practice. Hence, in this paper, we examine the discussed problem with hypothesis of dependence of set up times to sequence and cyclic schedule policy in basic peri...
