Combinatorial optimization problems are often encountered in real-world applications, including logistics, scheduling and ...

Using a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the study found that coordinated sizing and dispatch of distributed energy resources can substantially reduce system cost, diesel dependence, and ...

Water distribution network (WDN) optimization has received special attention from various technicians and researchers, mainly due to its high costs of implementation, operation and maintenance.

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method for the photovoltaic (PV) system using a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The main advantage ...

Abstract: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is rapidly gaining popularity but an official implementation of the PSO algorithm in Matlab is yet to be released. In this paper, we present a generic ...
