this paper presents a simplifiedlagrangian multiplier based algorithm to solve the fixed head hydrothermalscheduling problem. in fixed head hydrothermal scheduling problem, waterdischarge rate is modeled as quadratic function of hydropower generation andfuel cost is modeled as quadratic function of thermal power generation. thepower output of each hydro unit varies with the rate of water discha...

In this paper, an adaptive cost function FCSMPC is derived from newly obtained results concerning the distribution of figures merits used for assessment stator current model-based control multi-phase induction machines. A parameter analysis carried out case a six-phase motor. After extensive simulation and Pareto screening, new structure has been discovered linking several merit. This provides ...

based on two integration steps, an optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex distillation sequence. the first step is to employ heat integration in sequence and reduce the heat consumption and total annual cost of the process. the second one is to increase the exergetic efficiency of sequence by generating power in implemented expanders in sequence....

Accurate predictive simulations of human gait rely on optimisation criteria to solve the system’s redundancy. Defining such is challenging, as objectives driving optimization are unclear. This study evaluated how minimising various physiologically-based (i.e., cost transport, muscle activity, head stability, foot–ground impact, and knee ligament use) affects predicted gait, developed a combined...

In this paper, we study the licensing of cost-reducing innovations in a duopoly under supply function competition. We show that innovator prefers fixed-fee to no if its cost advantage is not extremely large. Moreover, small, and mixed revenue-royalty licensing. This second result arises only because our assumption functions are quadratic. linear royalty payments per unit output, strictly also m...
