This paper presents the application of an active energy management strategy to a hybrid system consisting proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), battery, and supercapacitor. The purpose is control battery supercapacitor states charge (SOCs) as well minimizing hydrogen consumption. Energy should be applied systems created in this way increase efficiency working conditions. In study, optimiz...

The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem involving nonlinear objective function with multiple local minima. In this paper, as a new approach, different ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms are applied to the reactive power dispatch problem. Ant system (AS), the firstly introduced ant colony optimization algorithm, and its direc...

Ant colony optimization is a technique for optimization that was introduced in the early 1990’s. The inspiring source of ant colony optimization is the foraging behavior of real ant colonies. This behavior is exploited in artificial ant colonies for the search of approximate solutions to discrete optimization problems, to continuous optimization problems, and to important problems in telecommun...

In this paper, an improved Backstepping control based on a recent optimization method called Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) algorithm for Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) driven by wind turbine is designed and presented. ALO applied obtaining optimum (BCS) parameters that are able to make the drive more robust with faster dynamic response, higher accuracy steady performance. The fitness function...

one of the most important extensions of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (cvrp) is the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (vrpspd) where customers require simultaneous delivery and pick-up service. in this paper, we propose an effective ant colony optimization (eaco) which includes insert, swap and 2-opt moves for solving vrpspd that is different with common an...
