Customized Pull Systems for Single-Product Flow Lines
Kleijnen, Jack P.C.; Gaury, E.G.A.; Pierreval, H. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1998
Traditionally pull production systems are managed through classic control systems such as Kanban, Conwip, or Base stock, but this paper proposes ‘customized’ pull control. Customization means that a given production line is managed through a pull control system that in principle connects...

Optimization of a Darrieus vertical-axis wind turbine using blade element – momentum theory and evolutionary algorithm
Bedon, Gabriele; Raciti Castelli, Marco; Benini, Ernesto - In: Renewable Energy 59 (2013) C, pp. 184-192
Wind turbine design procedures usually involve the adoption of the blade element – momentum theory. Nevertheless, its use is limited by the lack of extended database regarding the aerodynamic coefficients for most used airfoils. In the present work, an extended database generation procedure...

A new fuzzy adaptive particle swarm optimization for non-smooth economic dispatch
Niknam, Taher; Mojarrad, Hassan Doagou; Nayeripour, Majid - In: Energy 35 (2010) 4, pp. 1764-1778
This paper proposes a novel method for solving the Non-convex Economic Dispatch (NED) problems, by the Fuzzy Adaptive Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (FAMPSO). Practical ED problems have non-smooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints when generator valve-point loading...

Methods for multi-objective investment and operating optimization of complex energy systems
Fazlollahi, Samira; Mandel, Pierre; Becker, Gwenaelle; … - In: Energy 45 (2012) 1, pp. 12-22
The design and operations of energy systems are key issues for matching energy supply and consumption. Several optimization methods based on the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) have been developed for this purpose. However, due to uncertainty of some parameters like market conditions and...
