Multi-junction solar cells play a crucial role in the ConcentratedPhotovoltaic (CPV) Systems. Recent developments in CPV concerning high powerproduction and cost effective-ness along with better efficiency are due to theadvancements in multi-junction cells. This paper presents a simulation model of thegeneralized Multi-junction solar cell and introduces a two-bond solar ...

this paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-distributed generation (dg). the purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. to reduce the search space, the improv...

This paper presents a multi agent system for the job shop scheduling problems. The proposed system consists of initial scheduling agent, search agents, and schedule management agent. In initial scheduling agent, a modified Shifting Bottleneck is proposed. That is, an effective heuristic approach and can generate a good solution in a low computational effort. In search agents, a hybrid search ap...

Logistics Network Design includes network configuration decisions having long-standing influences on other tactical and operational decisions. Recently, regarding environmental issues and customer awareness and global warming closed-loop supply chain network design is taken into consideration. The proposed network for the integrated forward and reverse logistics is developed by formulating a cy...

The current paper presents a robust optimum design of friction stir welding (FSW) lap joint AA1100 aluminum alloy sheets using Monte Carlo simulation, NSGA-II and neural network. First, to find the relation between the inputs and outputs a perceptron neural network model was obtained. In this way, results of thirty friction stir welding tests are used for training and testing the neural network...

This paper presents a Taylor series approach for solving linear fractional de-centralized bi-level multi-objective decision-making (LFDBL-MODM) problems with asingle decision maker at the upper level and multiple decision makers at the lower level.In the proposed approach, the membership functions associated with each objective(s) ofthe level(s) of LFDBL-MODM are transformed by using a Taylor s...

this paper presents the formulation and solution of the combinatorial multi-mode resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem. the focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. the motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...
