The objective of this study was to develop an approach to optimization of beam designs. Optimization of steel sections using two different methods was carried out. First, optimization using Genetic Algorithms (GA) was employed through MATLAB’s Optimization Toolbox. Second, optimization using...

Albeit the operation of the Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme is fairly straightforward, the design of an optimal scheme is not as simple due to many design and performance criteria to be taken into consideration. The existence of an automated revision scheme will ease the scheme...
