Abstract Linear proportional solenoid (LPS) is widely applied in different linear motion control systems as the electromagnetic actuator since its high reliability and low cost. LPS difficult to optimize by changing a single variable due amounts of structural design parameters, each parameter has nonlinear relationship with static force. This paper aims improve LPS’s push force response perform...

The optimal design of a plate-fin recuperator of a 200-kW microturbine was studied in this paper. The exergy efficiency, pressure drop and total cost were selected as the three important objective functions of the recuperator. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) were respectively employed for single-objective and multi-objective optimizations. By opt...

 In this research, a tri-objective mathematical model is proposed for the Transportation-Location-Routing problem. The model considers a three-echelon supply chain and aims to minimize total costs, maximize the minimum reliability of the traveled routes and establish a well-balanced set of routes. In order to solve the proposed model, four metaheuristic algorithms, including Multi-Objective Gre...

Energy-saving schemes are nowadays a major worldwide concern. As the building sector is energy consumer, and hence greenhouse gas emitter, research in home management systems (HEMS) has increased substantially during last years. One of primary purposes HEMS monitoring electric consumption disaggregating this across different appliances. Non-intrusive load (NILM) enables disaggregation without h...
