With the formation of the competitive electricity markets in the world, optimization of bidding strategies has become one of the main discussions in studies related to market designing. Market design is challenged by multiple objectives that need to be satisfied. The solution of those...

This paper presents the impact assessment of distributed generations (DGs) (such as T2 and T4 i.e operating at different power factors such as 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 and 0.99 leading and lagging, respectively) and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controllers like SVC with...

Resource-constrained project scheduling under a net present value objective attracts growing interest. Because this is an NP-hard problem, it is unlikely that optimum solutions can be computed for large instances. Thus, heuristics have become a popular research field. Up to now, however, tight...
