A single item, single cycle economic production quantity model for perishable products is proposed where the demand is two-component and stock dependent. The production inventory scenario of products like cake, bread, fast foods, fishes, garments, cosmetics etc in the festival season is...

An inventory model is discussed with generalized ramp-type demand where the time to deterioration follows Weibull distribution. Shortages of inventories are allowed and completely backlogged. Total cost is derived by trading off setup cost, holding cost, deterioration cost, and shortage cost....

This paper proposes a nonlinear goal programming technique for obtaining economic order quantity of multi-item inventory problems. In the decision-making context, penalty functions are incorporated in the goal programming formulation. The proposed technique has been demonstrated via a case study.

This paper presents teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm for solving MAED (multi-area economic dispatch) problem with tie line constraints considering transmission losses, multiple fuels, valve-point loading and prohibited operating zones. TLBO (teaching–learning-based...

This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm for solving both convex and nonconvex ED (economic dispatch) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses, multiple fuels, valve-point loading and prohibited operating zones. This paper also presents cuckoo search algorithm...

Distributed generation (DG) with renewable energy resources is gaining importance in modern power systems for its environmental beneficiaries. In this work, decentralized generation system is introduced using distributed renewable energy resources considering its economic feasibility a...

In this paper a technical review of parallel operation of power electronics inverters for load sharing conditions in distributed generation (DG) network is presented. Emphasis is given to parallel operation of Active Power Filters (APFs) as they are widely used to mitigate load current...

This paper presents nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II for solving fuel constrained economic emission dispatch problem of thermal generating units. This is a multi-objective optimization problem which includes the standard load constraints as well as the fuel constraints. The generation...
