Energy is a vital input for social and economic development. As a result of the generalization
of agricultural, industrial and domestic activities the demand for energy has increased …

Bioenergy is widely considered a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, large‐
scale applications of biomass‐based energy products are limited due to challenges related …

In the present work, a hybrid approach has been proposed for optimal placement of multiple
DGs of multiple types. The analytical approaches may not be appropriate for optimal …

The production of biofuels, bioenergy and chemical intermediates from biomass is a
promising solution to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions …

Forest biomass is one of the renewable and sustainable sources of energy that can be used
for producing electricity, heat, and biofuels. The complex supply chain of forest biomass for …

A growing number of researchers are attracted by the domain of bioenergies, due to the

This paper presents a multi-objective algorithm to solve stochastic distribution feeder
reconfiguration (SDFR) problem for systems with distributed wind power generation (WPG) …

Many methods have been applied to achieve optimal site and size of distributed generation
systems. This paper introduces a new hybrid method, which employs discrete particle swarm …

The development of an agri-biomass supply chain optimization model and decision support
tools have a critical role to play in the success of large-scale agri-biomass utilization. A …

An effective harmony between the exploration and exploitation phases in meta-heuristics is
an essential design consideration to provide reliable performance on a wide range of …
