This paper proposes a superior Mixed Integer based hybrid Genetic Algorithm (MIGA) which inherits the advantages of binary and real coded Genetic Algorithm approach. The proposed algorithm is applied for the conventional generation cost minimization Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem and for the Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow problem. Here, the main shortcoming with the conventional Gene...

Optimization design, as a new branch of science in recent years, is the result of optimization technique and computer technology applied in design. Optimization design provides an important scientific design method for engineering designer, which seeks the most perfect and optimum design proposal and greatly improves design efficiency and quality. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is an overall random sea...

potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. this paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on genetic algorithm (ga) optimization and morphological operators. the proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Electric power providing companies has to deliver reliable electric power in quality and at minimum cost for the competition in deregulated environment. To know the power system security and operating state, power flows in lines and bus voltage magnitude and angle are calculated using power flow analysis, and to tune the power system for minimum operating cost while ensure security and reliabil...

The design of a wideband circularly polarized pixelated dielectric resonator antenna using a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is presented for far-field wireless power transfer applications. The antenna consists of a dielectric resonator (DR) which is discretized into 8 × 8 grid DR bars. The real-coded GA is utilized to estimate the optimal heights of the 64 DR bars to realize circular polariz...

  Improving knowledge worker productivity has been one of the most important tasks of the century. However, we have few measures or management interventions to make such improvement possible, and it is difficult to identify patterns that should be followed by knowledge workers because systems and processes in an organization are often regarded as a death blow to creativity. In this paper, we se...

Electron energy analysers have been designed to analyse charged-particle beams at specific energies. The design is based on the principle that electrons with different energies arrive detector times. Since follow orbits within these analysers. In collision experiments, it very important determine trajectories and transit times of charged particles in analyser. this study, optimum solutions for ...
