A proper assessment of heating systems for swimming pools should evaluate the compromise between comfortlevel and the willingness to pay for it. The present work presents a multi-objective optimization of indirect solarassisted ...

Modulated model predictive control (M 2 PC) allows fixed switching frequency operation of power converters, producing lower ripple and lower total harmonic distortion (THD) in the output signals than those obtained using ...

Scheduling problems can be seen as multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs), involving the simultaneous satisfaction of several goals related to the optimal design, coordination and management of tasks. The complexity ...

Different methods of optimization have been used for the selection and localization of capacitor banks in distribution circuits. However, it is necessary to consider the distortion taken place by the harmonics of the ...

Data Envelopment Analysis is a non-parametrical approach for efficiency evaluation of so-called DMUs (Decision Making Units) and takes into account multiple inputs and outputs. For each inefficient DMU, a target is provided ...

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids are of special interest for energization due to their exibility, low infrastructure investments, reduced conversion losses, and reliability against failures on the utility grid. In these systems, ...

Lithium-battery energy storage systems (LiBESS) are increasingly being used on electric mobility and stationary applications. Despite its increasing use and improvements of the technology there are still challenges ...
