Due to the requirements of lower capital investment, higher operational flexibility, and the pressures from environmental legislations on local pollutants and global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, power generation market is in favour of natural gas bas ...
Repeated failures as well as difficulties related to the implementation of new hydroelectric powerplants in industrialized countries illustrate the paradigm evolution which manages relationship between human society and nature. Problems resulting from thes ...
Resources both physical and financial are scarce in most developing countries while environmental concerns are growing requiring a greater effort to rationally plan investments. Nowadays the methods for designing, planning and managing integrated energy sy ...
The increasing complexity of signal processing algorithms has lead to the need of developing the algorithms specifications using generic software implementations that become in practice the reference implementation. This fact can be particularly observed i ...
A process optimization method has been developed for the design of reverse osmosis (RO) processes. RO process configurations are systematically generated using a flexible superstructure and evaluated by economical (investment and operating costs), technica ...
The reduction of CO2 emissions is a challenge for the coming decade, especially with the implementation of the Kyoto protocol. Since energy services (mainly heating and cooling of buildings) contribute to over 40% of the final energy consumption in a count ...
Currently, Genetic Algorithms (GA) are widely used in different optimization problems. One of the problems with GAs is tuning their parameters correctly as they can have a significant effect on GA's overall performance. Till now, different methods have bee ...

System-level design decisions such as HW/SW partitioning, target architecture selection and scheduler selection are some of the main concerns of current complex system-on-chip (SOC) designs. In this paper, a novel window-based heuristic is proposed that ad ...
A previous report by the present authors [1] clarified the diffuser effect of the draft tube and the effects of swirl in the runner downstream on the hydraulic instabilities in power generation plants. The present study was intended to study the effect of ...

This paper describes new optimization strategies that offer significant improvements in performance over existing methods for bridge-truss design. In this study, a real-world cost function that consists of costs on the weight of the truss and the number of ...
