Alternative scheme is the most important section in the environmental impact assessment (EIA). And the optimization of alternative schemes are the focus research fields in EIA. This paper define the content of alternatives of basin hydropower planning EIA (HPEIA), including the alternative...

In order to develop thermal power plants operational capabilities to face the new operational challenges of electrical power, in this paper we propose an approach to design operational procedures on a drum boiler of a thermal power plant. The proposed approach uses a coupled system of a...

Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was deployed in this paper for multi-objective thermo-economic optimization of biomass retrofit for an existing solar organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plant. The existing plant consists of a field of linear Fresnel collectors (LFC), integrated...

This article presents a non-conventional design approach of high order passive filters incorporated with distributed energy grid integration systems based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) as one of multi-objective evolutionary search algorithms. Two topologies of passive grid filters (third...

Who should be charged with responsibility for an artificial intelligence performing market manipulation have been discussed. In this study, I constructed an artificial intelligence using a genetic algorithm that learns in an artificial market simulation, and investigated whether the artificial...

Decision tree modelling, as one of data mining techniques, is used for credit scoring of bank customers. The main problem is the construction of decision trees that could classify customers optimally. This study presents a new hybrid mining approach in the design of an effective and appropriate...

The purpose of this research is to create a model for evaluating financial and non-financial motivation of top managers in regional and district management structures. For this purpose, the efficiency of inter-cluster interaction within one federal district is evaluated using a system of factors...

Blotto Games are a popular model of multi-dimensional strategic resource allocation. Two players allocate resources in different battlefields in an auction setting. While competition with equal budgets is well understood, little is known about strategic behavior under asymmetry of resources, as...
