Abstract:

Utilizing the combined cooling, heating and power generation (CHP) systems to produce cooling, heat and electricity is growing rapidly due to their high efficiency and low emissions in commercial and industrial applications. In conventional CHP systems the deficit of the system power can be purchased from the grid. However, this system cannot be used as the standalone application. The hybrid solar micro-CHP system can be worked as a standalone system for remote areas and other places which the access to grid is hard and costly. In this paper, by using energy and economic analyses, the type and the number of the required microturbines for the specific electricity and heat load curves during a year are selected. For performing this task, maximizing the actual annual benefit of the system is considered as objective function. Then, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and local unimodal sampling (LUS) technique is developed to calculate the type and number of prime mover and also the area of photovoltaic panels.

Optimizing question answering systems by Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)

One of the most important research areas in natural language processing is Question Answering Systems (QASs). Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But there is a basic limitation (search engines do not have deduction capability), a capability which a QAS is expected to have. In this perspective, a search engine may be viewed as a semi-mechanized QA...

Design of Tcsc-based Controller Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Design of an optimal controller requires optimization performance measures that are often noncommensurable and competing with each other. Design of such a controller is indeed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) problem. This paper investigates the comparison of application of PSO based optimization technique and Differential Evolution (DE) for the design of a Thyristor Controlled Series Compen...
