This paper proposes a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for solving the economic dispatch (ED) problem in power systems. Many nonlinear characteristics of the generator, such as ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zone, and nonsmooth cost functions are considered using the proposed method in practical generator operation. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated for thre...

General aviation rapidly becomes blossom with the growing economy. However, the complex flying environment and the flexibility for general aircrafts cause more difficulty to ensure the flying safety and efficiency. Hence it is vital to plan path for aircrafts to keep them away from threat and reduce fuel consumption. In this paper, we propose a path planning method based on an improved Nondomin...

Seeking to give unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a higher level of autonomous control, this study uses edge computing systems replace the ground control station (GCS) commonly used UAVs. Since GCS belongs central architecture, system distributed architecture can drones more flexibility in dealing with changing environmental conditions, allowing them autonomously and instantly plan their flight p...

Co-management is increasingly recognized as an effective model for managing fisheries, but little information exists on whether co-management can produce effects in species other than the target species. Fishery tropics, where fish diversity high and catches tend to be multispecies, prone assemblage-wide via alterations food web changes overall capture of non-target Here, we assessed Arapaima s...

The demand for renewable energy has led to construction of offshore wind farms with high-power turbines, and many more wind farms are being planned for the shallow waters of the world’s marine habitats. The growth of offshore wind farms has raised concerns about their impact on the marine environment. Marine mammals use sound for foraging, orientation and communication and are therefore possibl...
