this paper considers identical parallel machines scheduling problem with past-sequence-dependent setup times, deteriorating jobs and learning effects, in which the actual processing time of a job on each machine is given as a function of the processing times of the jobs already processed and its scheduled position on the corresponding machine. in addition, the setup time of a job on each machin...

Ant colony algorithm, a heuristic simulated algorithm, provides better solutions for non-convex, non-linear and discontinuous optimization problems. For ant colony algorithm, it is frequently to be trapped into local optimum, which might lead to stagnation. This article presents the city-select strategy, local pheromone update strategy, optimum solution prediction strategy and local optimizatio...

The current paper offers the solution strategy for economic dispatch problem in electric power system implementing ant lion optimization algorithm (ALOA) and bat (BA) techniques. In network, (ED) is a short-term calculation of optimum performance several electricity generations or plan outputs all usable generation units from energy produced to fulfill necessary demand, although equivalent uneq...

in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

The practitioners and researchers has received considerable attention solving complex optimization problems with metaheuristic algorithms during the past decade. Many of these algorithms are inspired by various phenomena of nature. One of the promising solutions for secure and continuous power flow in the transmission line is rescheduling based congestion management approach but the base proble...

Abstract The lithium-ion battery has grown to be one of the most popular types energy storage because its many great qualities. However, state health (SOH) decreases as number cycles increases, resulting in reduced performance or even failure device, so an accurate SOH is essential for safe operation device. To solve issue existing estimate methods' low estimation accuracy, a approach based on ...

Low-frequency oscillations are an inevitable phenomenon of a power system. This paper proposes Ant lion optimization approach to optimize the dual-input system stabilizer (PSS2B) parameters enhance transfer capability 400 kV line in North-West region Ethiopian electric network by damping low-frequency oscillation. Double-input Power stabilizers (PSSs) currently used systems damp out oscillation...
