Integrating a geographic information system and multi-criteria decision making methods have been lead to provide spatial multi-criteria decision making methods. In this study, the spatial potential of flooding was determined based on analytic network process and analytic hierarchy process. At first, six factors of flooding were determined as criteria. The criteria were the slope, hill-slope asp...

Generation expansion planning is a challenging problem due to its large-scale, long-term, non-linear, and discrete nature of generation unit size. Since the computation revolution, there are several emerging techniques proposed to solve large scale optimization problem. Many of these techniques have been reported to use in generation expansion planning. This paper will describe these emerging o...
