Since its inception in 1995, Differential Evolution (DE) has emerged as one of the most
frequently used algorithms for solving complex optimization problems. Its flexibility and …

This paper presents the comparison of pickup and delivery with time window (PDPTW) and
green vehicle routing for pickup and delivery problems, with time windows (Green-PDPTW) …

This paper presents an algorithm for deciding preferences in maintenance activities for
feeder sections of distribution systems. A component importance measure, known as …

Background Whole genome variants offer sufficient information for genetic prediction of
human disease risk, and prediction of animal and plant breeding values. Many sophisticated …

This paper describes a technique for optimizing inspection and repair based availability of
distribution systems. Optimum duration between two inspections has been obtained for each …

The existing numerous adaptive variants of differential evolution (DE) have been improved
the search ability of classic DE to certain extent. Nevertheless, those variants of DE do not …

This study presents a novel methodology for evaluating customer and energy based
reliability indices for distribution systems in the presence of distributed generations …

With deregulation of electricity sector, maintenance and reliability of power system network
has become a major challenging task for an independent system operator. The power …

A robust multi-objective optimization method for truss optimum design is presented. In the
robust design, materials and loads are assumed to be affected by epistemic uncertainties …

Continuity indicators and that characterizing power quality are statistical parameters that
describe, globally or locally, the state of operation of both, electrical power supply system …
