This paper presents the optimal scheduling of a diesel generator and an energy storage
system (ESS) while using a detailed battery ESS energy efficiency model. Optimal …

This paper deals with the power management problem in islanded microgrids. The paper
proposes a two-stage strategy to ensure the proper operation of islanded microgrids under …

This paper presents an efficient method to Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem using a
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. The practical ELD problems have nonsmooth …

As manufacturing converts raw materials into products, environmental wastes and emissions
are simultaneously generated from the consumption of materials and energy during the …

Abstract Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting (FETI) methods are used in the
engineering community to solve extremely large engineering simulations on clusters and …

Detention ponds are best management practices designed for the treatment and control of
urban stormwater. Their design objectives are mainly to control the quantity and quality of …

Engineering optimization problems usually contain various constraints and mixed integer-
discrete-continuous types of design variables. We propose an efficient particle swarm …

This article deals with the optimization of energy resource management of industrial districts,
with the aim of minimizing customer energy expenses. A model of the district is employed …

Cemented hydraulic backfill (CHB) is widely used in underground mine backfilling,
especially when regional stability is required. One of the critical backfill properties is uniaxial …

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is an established nature-inspired
population-based meta-heuristic that replicates the synchronizing movements of birds and …
