Uncertainties are the most significant challenges in smart power system, necessitating use of precise techniques to deal with them properly. Such problems could be effectively solved using a probabilistic optimization strategy. It is further divided into stochastic, robust, distributionally and chance-constrained optimizations. The topics systems covered this review paper. In order account for ...

Rectenna optimization is important for increasing the efficiency and power output of devices that convert radio frequency (RF) energy into DC power. This can be accomplished by optimizing design components used in rectenna, as well changing operating input level. Optimization algorithms rectenna aid determining required geometry parameters antenna rectifier, to find optimal values passive desig...

In this study simulation and optimization of an industrial acetylene hydrogenation reactor was studied. Three well known kinetic models were used for a nearly similar catalyst to predict the industrial data. Due to the complexity of the reactions, none of the offered kinetic models could be considered as an exact kinetic model and it is necessary to determine the kinetic parameters. One of the ...

one of the major purposes of optimization in civil engineering is to perform a suitable design for the structure. this goal has to fulfill technical criteria and contain the minimum economical costs. building frames are of the most customary civil engineering structures. therefore, optimization of these types of structures could be of a great concern from the economical viewpoints. one of the c...

Node cooperation can protect wireless networks from eavesdropping by using the physical characteristics of wireless channels rather than cryptographic methods. Allocating the proper amount of power to cooperative nodes is a challenging task. In this paper, we use three cooperative nodes, one as relay to increase throughput at the destination and two friendly jammers to degrade eavesdropper&rsqu...

The FIC is one of our attempts towards the design of robust fractal image compression. The main disadvantage of FIC is the high computational cost. To overcome this drawback, the technique described here utilizes the optimization techniques, like GA, ACO and PSO which greatly decreases the search space for finding the self similarities in the given image. FIC is robust against outliers in the i...

This paper explores how synthesis tools such as Mentor Graphics’ Precision RTL Synthesis can infer different types of multiplexers from different styles of HDL code, and how these structures can be mapped into FPGA devices. Inefficient multiplexers can greatly increase the logic required to implement your design. This paper discusses some common pitfalls and provides design guidelines to achiev...

The techniques and analysis presented in this paper provide new methods to solve optimization problems posed on Riemannian manifolds. A new point of view is offered for the solution of constrained optimization problems. Some classical optimization techniques on Euclidean space are generalized to Riemannian manifolds. Several algorithms are presented and their convergence properties are analyzed...
