The electricity demands of buildings for cooling and heating, as well as for office-appliances such as computers, lighting, elevators, keep increasing [Uchiyama2002]. This increase in electricity requirement is directly accompanied by an increase in CO2-em ...
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 ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To further complicate m ...
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. ...
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 ...
With a given power demand pattern supplied by a set of pulverized fuel coal- fired (PC) power generation units at various locations, different power dispatching solutions will result in different fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions, and power generation costs ...
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 ...
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 ...
An alternative structure for adaptive linear prediction is proposed in which the adaptive filter is replaced by a cascade of inde- pendently adapting, low-order stages, and the prediction is generated by means of successive refinements. When the adaptation ...
In this paper, we describe a method for the energy management, according to minimal costs criteria over one year (month after month), of an electrical utility, which has to deal with nuclear and hydro power plants, sale/purchase and exchange contracts, and ...
