Unit commitment (UC) is a very important optimization task, which plays a major role in the daily operation planning of electric power systems that is why UC is a core research topic attracting a lot of research efforts. An innovative method based on an advanced memetic algorithm (MA) for the...

The optimization of building cooling heating and power (BCHP) system is helpful to improve its comprehensive performance including energetic, economic and environmental aspects. However, the optimal results are closely dependent on the initial setting parameters. This paper deduces the energy...

In the recent years, by rapid growth of wind power generation in addition to its high penetration in power systems, the wind power prediction has been known as an important research issue. Wind power has a complicated dynamic for modeling and prediction. In this paper, different hybrid...

Local wind climate is usually measured and described as the result of a regional wind climate modulated by local topography effects, roughness and obstacles in the surrounding area. This paper renders a fuzzy-logic-based method designed to generate the local wind conditions originated by these...
