This paper proposes a predictor-corrector primal-dual modified log-barrier interior-exterior point method with global convergence and cubic fitting strategies for solving the Reactive Optimal Power Flow (ROPE) problem. The ...

Carioca bean is an important product of Brazil and its major components are protein and starch. In its native form, starch has some technological constraints and modifications can improve its properties. Acetylation ...

In order to deal with plant-model mismatch, iterative process optimization schemes use some adaptation strategy based on measurements. The modifier-adaptation approach consists in performing first-order corrections of the ...

This paper proposes a technique for solving the multiobjective environmental/economic dispatch problem using the weighted sum and ε-constraint strategies, which transform the problem into a set of single-objective problems. ...

This paper proposes a technique for solving the multiobjective environmental/economic dispatch problem using the weighted sum and \varepsilon ε -constraint strategies, which transform the problem into a set of single-objective ...

This paper presents a new approach to the resolution of the Optimal Power Flow problem. In this approach the inequality constraints are treated by the Modified Barrier and Primal-Dual Logarithmic Barrier methods. The ...

Este artigo apresenta uma nova abordagem para a resolução do problema de Fluxo de Potência Ótimo Reativo. Nesta abordagem, as restrições de desigualdade são tratadas pela associação dos métodos de Barreira Modificada e ...
