A dynamic MOPSO algorithm for multiobjective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2014 , Article)In this paper, a dynamic multiobjective particle swarm optimization (DMOPSO) method is presented for the optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs). The main goal of the design is to minimize simultaneously ... -
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ... -
Comparative exergy, multi-objective optimization, and extended environmental assessment of geothermal combined power and refrigeration systems
( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2021 , Article)In the present work a comparative exergy analysis, multi-objective optimization, as well as extended environmental analysis of a geothermal-based power and refrigeration system, is carried out. Different arrangements with ... -
Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for the Two-Machine Just in Time Job Shop Scheduling Problem
( Hindawi Limited , 2016 , Article)The problem addressed in this paper is the two-machine job shop scheduling problem when the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness from a common due date (CDD) for a set of jobs when their weights equal ... -
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ... -
Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ... -
Optimization Models For Multiple Resource Planning
