Energy-saving schemes are nowadays a major worldwide concern. As the building sector is energy consumer, and hence greenhouse gas emitter, research in home management systems (HEMS) has increased substantially during last years. One of primary purposes HEMS monitoring electric consumption disaggregating this across different appliances. Non-intrusive load (NILM) enables disaggregation without h...

Optimal placement of distributed generation (DG) is an essential task for distribution companies in order to operate the network good operating conditions. DG units optimization problem where minimization active power losses considered as objective function. In this paper, hybrid genetic dragonfly algorithm used technique find optimal location and size units. The proposed implemented on IEEE 15...

in this paper, matlab code for a recently developed meta-heuristic methodology, the vibrating particles system (vps) algorithm, is presented. the vps is a population-based algorithm which simulates a free vibration of single degree of freedom systems with viscous damping. the particles gradually approach to their equilibrium positions that are achieved from current population and historically b...

Abstract The aim of this work is to enable a step towards self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. approach includes the simultaneous definition optimum number workstations, cycle time and assignment tasks workstations. A bespoke genetic algorithm (GENALSAS) proposed demonstrated which focuses examining simple balancing ...

The rapid development of today’s society and the rapidly increasing incidence skeletal injuries caused by traffic industrial accidents have led to a significant increase in number patients with fractures accompanied severe soft tissue injuries, as well an increased osteomyelitis bone defects. Many these cannot be treated internal fixators can only external fixators. Taylor Bone External Fixator...
