A redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a well-known NP-hard problem that involves the selection of elements and redundancy levels to maximize the system reliability under various system-level constraints. In many practical design situations, reliability apportionment is complicated because of the presence of several conflicting objectives that cannot be combined into a single-objective functi...

Despite a large number of advantages, Torque Ripple (TR) is the most important drawback of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). In the presented study, TR was reduced by optimizing the gate pulse angle of the SRM phase which played a leading role in the generated torque profile. For the Optimization, one of the strategies of Genetic Algorithm (GA) which was named Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algor...

This paper presents a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) for the optimal operation of a complex multipurpose and multi-reservoir system. Firstly, MOEA/D decomposes a multi-objective optimization problem into a number of scalar optimization sub-problems and optimizes them simultaneously. It uses information of its several neighboring sub-problems for optimizin...

In this study, two parameters of surface roughness and volumetric material removal rate are optimized based on computational intelligence method. Wire electrical discharge machine is used for machining of cold-work steel 2601. The relation between Input parameters including electrical current, pulse-off time, open-circuit voltage and gap voltage and output parameters is studied via Experimental...

this paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. the power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a rl low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an rl in series with an igbt based voltage source converter. the filter is assumed...
