In this paper a novel method based on evolutionary algorithms is presented to estimate the harmonic components. In general, the optimization of the harmonic estimation process is a multi-component problem, in which evaluation of the phase and harmonic frequency is the nonlinear part of the problem and is solved based on the mathematical and evolutionary methods; while estimation of amplitude of...

In order to minimize power losses caused by high current and improve the voltage profile in the network distribution, the introduction of dispersed generations also called productions decentralized in distribution network (DG) plays an important role. The installation of DGs directly affects the power requested or purchased. The sizing and placement of DGs in the system must be optimal because ...

This paper proposes Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm that combines strengths of Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) and Bees Algorithms (BA). While SFLA can find optimal solutions quickly because of directive searching and exchange of information, BA has higher random that make it easily escape local optima to find global solutions. Thus Hybrid SFL-Bees Algorithm is able to find optimal solutions q...

Reducing energy consumption is becoming very important in order to keep battery life and lower overall operational costs for heterogeneous real-time multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we first formulate this as a combinatorial optimization problem. Then, a successful meta-heuristic, called Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) is proposed to reduce the energy consumption. Precocity remissi...

Abstract Distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DHFSP) has attracted some attention; however, DHFSP with uncertainty and energy-related element is seldom studied. In this paper, distributed energy-efficient (DEHFSP) fuzzy processing time considered a cooperated shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (CSFLA) presented to optimize makespan, total agreement index energy consumption simultaneous...

Achieving maximum network coverage with a limited number of sensor nodes is key to node deployment wireless (WSN). This paper proposes an improved marine predator algorithm (IMPA) for 3D surface deployment. A population evolution strategy based on random opposition-based learning and differential operator proposed enrich the diversity improve global search capability algorithm. The grouping ide...
