An optimal structural design model of a residential cogeneration system, known as combined heat and power, considering various kinds of operating restrictions is developed from the energy-saving viewpoint. As principal operating restrictions of cogeneration units, a constant power output...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to improve current design processes by proposing a new approach based on multi‐criteria optimization of the designed asset. Management of design in construction projects is a complex task since it involves collaboration between professionals in multiple...

The floating wind turbine support structure design problem is complicated by conflicting technical objectives and innumerable platform geometry options. Previous support structure optimization studies have been limited in their ability to evaluate the full design space due to their adherence to...
