Abstract:
This paper presents a new approach to solve the short-term unit commitment problem using hybrid algorithm based on Evolutionary Programming, Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search Method. The objective of this paper is to find the generation scheduling such that the total operating cost can be minimized, when subjected to a variety of constraints. This also means that it is desirable to find the optimal generating unit commitment in the power system for the next H hours. Evolutionary program ....etc

Abstract
In traditional methodologies for mechatronic design, the design processes of the mechanical structure, the electromechanical actuators and the control system, is more or less independent of each other. The mechanical structure is usually designed first, then fitted with off-the-shelf electric motors and drive electronics, and finally, a controller is designed for the already existing physical system. This approach leads to that many of the possible advantages of mechatronic de ....etc

The swing generator model
The consequences of electric power outages dictate the
importance of conducting power system studies. These
studies will most likely be based upon models that
combine representations of the various components (e.g.,
generators, loads, and network) in the power system.This paper considers a classical flux-decay model to
which the proposed reduced model will be compared.
Both models incorporate the swing equation and differ
primarily in the voltage control and excitation dynamics.the swing
equation captur ....etc

OPTIMISATION OF WORKING CAPITAL FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS BY USING MATHEMATICAL MODELLING



INTRODUCTION TO WORKING CAPITAL
Firstly we have to know what exactly is working capital & its importance in construction projects. Many companies still underestimate the importance of working capital management as a lever for freeing up cash from inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. By effectively managing these components, companies can sharply reduce their dependence o ....etc

The evolutionary engine and the mind machine:
A design-based study of adaptive change

by

Christopher Complin


Abstract

The objectives of this thesis are to elucidate adaptive change from a design-stance, provide a detailed examination of the concept of evolvability and computationally model agents which undergo both genetic and cultural evolution. Using Sloman s (1994) design-based methodology, Darwinian evolution by natural selection is taken as a starting point. The concept of adaptive change is analys ....etc

Static competitive facility location: An overview of optimisation approaches


Introduction
A large part of location theory in operational
research has been built around the (mostly implicit)
modelling assumption of a spatial monopoly:
the facility to be located o ers a unique
product or service and is the single player in the
part of the market that is considered. Most situations
in practice do not t such models and the
need arises to incorporate competition with other

Abstract
In electric power systems, decentralised computer systems have been proposed for voltage and power static estimation. They reduce th eamount of centralised information on the supervisor computer. A system of multi-area computer hierarchy particularly adapted to handle the problem of real-time intervention on electric power systems is presented. The overall optimization problem is formulated according to Lagrange, introducing the interaction constraints among the areas in the objective function. Concerning the active power subpr ....etc

More Information and About evolutionary robotics

Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their own skills in close interaction with the environment and without human intervention. Drawing heavily on biology and ethology, it uses the tools of neural networks, genetic algorithms, dynamic systems, and biomorphic engineering. The resulting robots share wit ....etc
