This paper presents a novel stochastic optimisation approach to determining the feasible optimal solution of the economic dispatch (ED) problem considering various generator constraints. Many practical constraints of generators, such as ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zones and the valve point effect, are considered. These constraints make the ED problem a non-smooth/nonconvex minimisati...

Nowadays, demand response programs (DRPs) play an important role in price reduction and reliability improvement. In this paper, an optimal integrated model for the emergency demand response program (EDRP) and dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem has been developed. Customer’s behavior is modeled based on the price elasticity matrix (PEM) by which the level of DRP is determined for ...

General aviation rapidly becomes blossom with the growing economy. However, the complex flying environment and the flexibility for general aircrafts cause more difficulty to ensure the flying safety and efficiency. Hence it is vital to plan path for aircrafts to keep them away from threat and reduce fuel consumption. In this paper, we propose a path planning method based on an improved Nondomin...

This paper presents a novel stochastic optimization approach to solve constrained economic load dispatch (ELD) problem using Hybrid Bacterial Foraging-Differential Evolution optimization algorithm. In this hybrid approach computational chemotaxis of BFOA, which may also be viewed as a stochastic gradient search, has been coupled with DE type mutation and crossover of the optimization agents. Th...

Seeking to give unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a higher level of autonomous control, this study uses edge computing systems replace the ground control station (GCS) commonly used UAVs. Since GCS belongs central architecture, system distributed architecture can drones more flexibility in dealing with changing environmental conditions, allowing them autonomously and instantly plan their flight p...

Co-management is increasingly recognized as an effective model for managing fisheries, but little information exists on whether co-management can produce effects in species other than the target species. Fishery tropics, where fish diversity high and catches tend to be multispecies, prone assemblage-wide via alterations food web changes overall capture of non-target Here, we assessed Arapaima s...
