Using traditional heuristic algorithms on an initial genetic algorithm population applied to the transmission expansion planning problem
(Univ Nac Colombia, Fac Ingenieria, 2011-04-01)
This paper analyses the impact of choosing good initial populations for genetic algorithms regarding convergence speed and final solution quality. Test problems were taken from complex electricity distribution network ...
Implementation of an AC model for transmission expansion planning considering reliability constraints
(2013-07-18)
In this paper, a hybrid heuristic methodology that employs fuzzy logic for solving the AC transmission network expansion planning (AC-TEP) problem is presented. An enhanced constructive heuristic algorithm aimed at obtaining ...
A Constructive Heuristic Algorithm for Distribution System Planning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-08-01)
A constructive heuristic algorithm (CHA) to solve distribution system planning (DSP) problem is presented. The DSP is a very complex mixed binary nonlinear programming problem. A CHA is aimed at obtaining an excellent ...
A constructive heuristic algorithm for multi-stage transmission expansion planning under N-1 security constraints
(2015-04-01)
The transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem in modern power systems is a large-scale, mixed-integer, non-linear, and non-convex problem. The problem becomes even more complicated when the security constraints are ...
A heuristic algorithm based on multi-assignment procedures for nurse scheduling
(2013-04-03)
This paper tackles a Nurse Scheduling Problem which consists of generating work schedules for a set of nurses while considering their shift preferences and other requirements. The objective is to maximize the satisfaction ...
Some heuristic algorithms for total tardiness minimization in a flowshop with blocking
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The flowshop scheduling problem with blocking in-process is addressed in this paper. In this environment, there are no buffers between successive machines: therefore intermediate queues of jobs waiting in the system for ...
An iterated sample construction with path relinking method: Application to switch allocation in electrical distribution networks
(2013-01-01)
We present a metaheuristic approach which combines constructive heuristics and local searches based on sampling with path relinking. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by an application to the problem of allocating switches ...
Constructive heuristic algorithm in branch-and-bound structure applied to transmission network expansion planning
(Institution Engineering Technology-iet, 2007-03-01)
A constructive heuristic algorithm to solve the transmission system expansion planning problem is proposed with the aim of circumventing some critical problems of classical heuristic algorithms that employ relaxed mathematical ...
Combined heuristic with fuzzy system to transmission system expansion planning
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2011)
A heuristic algorithm that employs fuzzy logic is proposed to the power system transmission expansion planning problem. The algorithm is based on the divide to conquer strategy, which is controlled by the fuzzy system. The ...
An efficient heuristic for total flowtime minimisation in no-wait flowshops
(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2010)
In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling jobs in a no-wait flowshop with the objective of minimising the total completion time. This problem is well-known for being nondeterministic polynomial-time hard, and ...
