The study uses the formula method a...

In this paper a method for selection of optimal scenario for distribution automation is proposed. For a part of distribution network that can be considered as the smallest functional unit, the service zones are determined based on the heuristic rules, all possible automation scenarios are searched, and the values of selected objective functions are determined. After that, the method uses fuzzy ...

In this study, the optimization of process parameters for milling of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites using grey relational analysis has been investigated. Experiments are conducted using helix angle, spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut and fiber orientation angle as typical process parameters. The grey relational analysis (GRA) is adopted to obtain grey relational grade for ...

Case adaptation is a challenging and crucial process of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) for power grid wind disaster emergencies. The statistical adaptation method is a traditional method that is independent of domain knowledge, is easy to implement, but is not proper for the complex system problem. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a novel case adaptation method to address this problem...
