Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...

this paper presents a clear monograph on the optimization of thermal instability resistance of the fg (functionally graded) flat structures. for this aim, two fg flat structures, namely an fg beam and an fg circular plate, are considered. these structures are assumed to obey the first-order shear deformation theory, three-parameters power-law distribution of the constituents, and clamped bounda...

In this paper, we propose an improved gravitational search algorithm named GSABC. The algorithm improves gravitational search algorithm (GSA) results improved by using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) to solve constrained numerical optimization problems. In GSA, solutions are attracted towards each other by applying gravitational forces, which depending on the masses assigned to the soluti...
