Considering the economic importance of the electricity generation sector as well as its contribution to local, regional and global pollution, the development of new cost-effective and environmentally benign electricity generation and cogeneration systems i ...
The objective of the present work is to make efficient parallelization of evolutionary algorithms (EA) easier in order to solve large instances of difficult combinatorial optimization problems within an acceptable amount of time, on parallel computer archi ...
This thesis presents the development of a new multi-objective optimisation tool and applies it to a number of industrial problems related to optimising energy systems. Multi-objective optimisation techniques provide the information needed for detailed anal ...
An optimization tool to identify optimum structure/parameters of hybrid electric vehicles (hereafter abbreviated as HEV) is proposed, which can take account of various criteria regarding environmental impacts, cost minimization, or minimum fuel consumption ...
This paper introduces a multi-objective EA, termed the Clustering Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (CPEA). The CPEA finds and retains many local Pareto- optimal fronts, rather than just the global front as is the case of most multi- objective EAs found in the ...
This paper presents a methodology for optimisation of vehicle drivetrain configuration and their design with respect to multiple parameters. Some preliminary results from such optimisations are presented. Multi-objective optimisation algorithms have been d ...
In Switzerland like in many countries, many of the populated areas are located close to lakes or rivers, offering a large potential for the use of heat pumps. Although district heating is an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most e ...
The implementation of integrated energy systems within urban areas is a promising CO?2 emissions abatement measure. In this paper on-site heating, cooling and power generation based on a solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine (SOFC-GT) combined cycle unit a ...
The CEPA, an Evolutionary Algorithm that preserves diversity by finding clusters in the population, has had its convergence performance improved by a technique tentatively called ‘evolutionary operator selection’. Performance is compared to results found i ...
We propose and demonstrate the use of an adaptive membrane mirror to increase the efficiency of coupling light into optical single-mode fibers. The membrane mirror has an active area of 12 mm in diameter and is electrostatically activated by 37 electrodes. ...
