A Multi-objective Optimization Model for the Quantification of Flexibility in a Large Business Park

Demand-side management (DSM) is an effective way to strengthen the present power system's reliability and security with increasing penetration of renewable energy generations. With the fusion of information technology, present-day loads are getting smarter with their ability to modulate the power and control their switching operations in...

A condition-based maintenance methodology for rails in regional railway networks using evolutionary multiobjective optimization: Case study line Braşov to Zărneşti in Romania

In this paper, we propose a methodology based on signal processing and evolutionary multiobjective optimization to facilitate the maintenance decision making of infra-managers in regional railways. Using a train in operation (with passengers onboard), we capture the condition of the rails using Axle Box Acceleration measurements. Then, using...
