nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. in order to investigate the eff...

a multi objective honey bee mating optimization (hbmo) designed by online learning mechanism is proposed in this paper to optimize the double fuzzy-lead-lag (fll) stabilizer parameters in order to improve low-frequency oscillations in a multi machine power system. the proposed double fll stabilizer consists of a low pass filter and two fuzzy logic controllers whose parameters can be set by the ...

an integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. this paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (lri) problem. this model also considers stochastic demands ...

in this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (moso) model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the competitive-cooperative relationship. the model was applied to solve the practical m...

Mixed-model assembly lines are increasingly accepted in many industrial environments to meet the growing trend of greater product variability, diversification of customer demands, and shorter life cycles. In this research, a new mathematical model is presented considering balancing a mixed-model U-line and human-related issues, simultaneously. The objective function consists of two separate com...

Aircraft engine design is a complicated process, as it involves huge number of components. The process begins with parametric cycle analysis. It crucial to determine the optimum values parameters that would give robust in early phase development, shorten for cost saving and man-hour reduction. To obtain solution, optimisation program often being executed more than once, especially Reliability B...
