Using Simulated Annealing (SA), Evolutionary Algorithm To Determine Optimal Dimensions of Clay Core in Earth Dams

using simulated annealing (sa), evolutionary algorithm to determine optimal dimensions of clay core in earth dams

earth dam is a structure as homogeneous or non-homogeneous forms for raising water level or water supply. earth dam consist of different parts that one of the main parts is clay core. choosing an optimal non permeable core which causes reduction of seepage through dam body and also being stable is necessary. the objective of this research is to optimize the geometry of earth dam clay core such ...

Determine Optimal Coefficients of IIR Digital Filters using Simulated Annealing

This paper determines coefficients of infinite-impulse response (IIR) using Simulated Annealing (SA). IIR filter is essentially a digital filter with Recursive responses. Since the error surface of digital IIR filters is generally nonlinear and multimodal, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid local minima. In this paper heuristic way for the designing IIR filters is pre...

OPTIMAL SIZE AND PLACEMENT OF DVR's IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING SIMULATED ANNEALING (SA)

For the optimal size and placement of the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in a distribution network, in this paper the Simulated Annealing (SA) method is proposed. The multi-objective problem is converted to a single function using the goal attainment method. The obtained results show the voltage sag improvement on sensitive load nodes and other nodes in distribution system with minimum cost.

Investigate the Applicability of Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm in Determining the Optimal Dimensions of Concrete Dams

Acquiring optimal dimensions of concrete dams by reducing the cross section will reduce the volume of concrete used and consequently reduce construction costs. Due to multiplicity of constraints which leads to complexity of the decision space, meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been increasingly used in optimal design of gravity dams. In this study, performance of Grey Wolf Optimizer w...
