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...

this article proposes a new algorithm for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions for solving generalized traveling salesman problem. Random gravitational emulation search algorithm (RGES (is presented for solving traveling salesman problem. The algorithm based on random search concepts, and uses two parameters, speed and force of gravity in physics. The proposed algorithm is ...

This paper considers the job scheduling problem in virtual manufacturing cells (VMCs) with the goal of minimizing two objectives namely, makespan and total travelling distance. To solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (KBNSGA-II). The difference between these algor...

The present study is an attempt to propose a mutation-based real-coded genetic algorithm (MBRCGA) for sizing and layout optimization of planar and spatial truss structures. The Gaussian mutation operator is used to create the reproduction operators. An adaptive tournament selection mechanism in combination with adaptive Gaussian mutation operators are proposed to achieve an effective search in ...

This paper deals with a multi-period fixed charge production-distribution problem associated with backorder and inventories. The objective is to determine the size of the shipments from each supplier and backorder and inventories at each period, so that the total cost incurred during the entire period towards production, transportation, backorder and inventories is minimised. A 0-1 mixed intege...

introduction: raman spectroscopy, that is a spectroscopic technique based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, can provide valuable information about molecular vibrations, so using this technique we can study molecular changes in a sample. material and methods: in this research, 153 raman spectra obtained from normal and dried skin samples. baseline and electrical noise were eliminat...

in this paper, an adaptive neuro fuzzy sliding mode based genetic algorithm (anfsga) controlsystem is proposed for a ph neutralization system. in ph reactors, determination and control of ph isa common problem concerning chemical-based industrial processes due to the non-linearity observedin the titration curve. an anfsga control system is designed to overcome the complexity of precisecontrol o...
