in this paper, a new alternative method for order reduction of high order systems is presented based on optimization of multi objective fitness function by using harmony search algorithm. at first, step response of full order system is obtained as a vector, then, a suitable fixed structure considered for model order reduction which order of original system is bigger than fixed structure model. ...

the vehicle driving comfort has become one of the important factors of vehicle quality and receives increasing attention. in this paper, optimal points of vehicle suspension parameters are generated using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) for pareto optimization of 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model considering three conflicting functions simultaneously. in thi...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...

in this paper proposes a fuzzy multi-objective hybrid genetic and bee colony optimization algorithm(ga-bco) to find the optimal restoration of loads of power distribution network under fault.restoration of distribution systems is a complex combinatorial optimization problem that should beefficiently restored in reasonable time. to improve the efficiency of restoration and facilitate theactivity...

appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters; this is why in recent decades extensive studies have been done on scheduling issues. one type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (jit) scheduling and in this area, motivated by jit manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical model for...

this paper will investigate the optimum portfolio for an investor, taking into account 5 criteria. the mean variance model of portfolio optimization that was introduced by markowitz includes two objective functions; these two criteria, risk and return do not encompass all of the information about investment; information like annual dividends, s&p star ranking and return in later years which...

abstract in this paper, a fuzzy pid with new structure is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. in this study, a new structure and effective of the fuzzy pid-type load frequency control (lfc) is proposed to solve the load frequency control in interconnected power systems. the main objective is to eliminate the deviations in the frequency of different area...
