Electric vehicles (EVs) with voltage-to-grid (V2G) capability are useful in augmenting grid to handle high energy demand of end users during peak periods. We propose a hybrid state-of-charge (SOC) battery model aggregator optimize charging and maintain stability The proposed SOC leverages the advantages three well-known previously models namely: Shepherd, Unnewehr Nernst models. is combination merits specified empirical Lithium-ion slow charging. This will enhance performance by improving...
Big data analysis has gained popularity over the years as a result of developments in computing and electronics. Several methods have been proposed literature for efficiently mining from dedicated databases wide range electronic sensors. However, volume grows, diversity velocity also grows (sometimes exponentially). Neural networks optimal big mining; however, they suffer problems over-fitting under-fitting. In this paper, an ensemble evolutionary algorithms is proposed, namely: improved...

This article investigates the use of optimal reference point placement to improve performance non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA). Placement points for many-objective optimization is inspired by wheel and Von Neumann topologies Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Results obtained show that pattern determines efficiency NSGA.

The process carried out using following approach: (1) two-objective constructed with one objective similar to optimizer (DER-CAM); (2) evolutionary algorithm (EA) modified selection capability used...
A ceaseless supply of electricity is essential for all developmental sectors and even more important nowadays, as the globe evolves through a call artificially intelligent systems in fourth industrial revolution. Power interruptions lead to unpleasant human situations well great losses within health, education, facilities requiring constant electricity. For this reason, we propose design an automatic transfer switch (ATS) power applications maximize uptime. The ATS ensures between two...
This paper presents an algorithm based on dynamic multiobjective optimization (DMO) which employs a single randomly mutating time-variant archive to balance convergence and diversity in order efficiently select the final, non-dominated Pareto set.

Overall, proposed single-archive (called DOAEA) generated better faster time for Gee-Tan-Abbas (GTA) test...
This paper examines the role of demand response aggregators in minimizing cost electricity generation by distribution utilities a day-ahead market.

Many real-world problems are modeled as multi-objective optimization whose optimal solutions change with time. These commonly termed dynamic (DMOPs). One challenge associated solving such is the fact that Pareto front or set often changes too quickly. This means solution at period t may likely vary from (t+1), and this makes process of optimizing computationally expensive to implement. article proposes use adaptive mutation crossover operators for non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III...
