The general capacitor placement problem is a combinatorial optimization problem having an objective function composed of power losses and capacitor installation costs subject to bus voltage constraints. In this paper, the method employing the chaos search algorithm is proposed to solve optimal capacitor placement problem with reducing computational effort and enhancing optimality of the solution. Chaos method in optimization problem searches the global optimal solution on the regularity of chaotic motions and easily escapes from local or near optimal solution than stochastic optimization algorithms. The chaos optimization method is tested on 9 buses and 69 buses system to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The learning automaton is an automaton to update systematically the strategy for enhancing the performance in response to the output results, and several schemes of learning automata have been presented. In this paper, S-model learning automata are applied to achieving a best compromise solution between an optimal solution for economic operation and an optimal solution for stable operation of the power system under the circumstance that the loads vary randomly. It is shown that learning automata are applied satisfactorily to the multiobjective optimization problem for obtaining the best tradeoff among the conflicting economy and stability objectives of power systems.

This paper considers a scheduling problem of routers with VOQ(Virtual Output Queue)s, where the router has an N ${\times}$N port input-queued switch and each input queue is composed of N VOQs. The objective of the paper is to develope scheduling algorithms which minimize mean tardiness under a common due date. The paper characterizes the optimal solution properties. Based upon the characterization, a integer programming is formulated for the optimal solution and two optimal solution algorithms are developed for two special cases of 2 ${\times}$2 switch and N${\times}$N switch with identical traffic.

Structural optimization problems with discrete design variables require more function calculations (or finite element analyses) than those in the continuous design space. In this study, a method to find an optimal solution in the discrete design of the truss structure is presented, reducing the number of function calculations. Because a continuous optimal solution is the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point that satisfies the optimality condition, it is assumed that the discrete optimal solution is around the continuous optimum. Then, response values such as weight, displacement, and stress are predicted using approximate models-referred to as hybrid metamodels-within specified design ranges. The discrete design method using the hybrid metamodels is used as a post-process of the continuous optimization process. Standard truss design problems of 10-bar, 25-bar, 15-bar, and 52-bar are solved to show the usefulness of this method. The results are compared with those of existing methods.

This paper considers the linear-quadratic optimal regulator problem for nonstandard singularly perturbed systems making use of the recursive technique. We first derive a generalized Riccati differential equation by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In order to obtain the feedback gain, we must solve the generalized algebraic Riccati equation. Using the recursive technique, we show that the solution of the generalized algebraic Riccati equation converges with the rate of convergence of O(.epsilon.). The existence of a bounded solution of error term can be proved by the implicit function theorem. It is enough to show that the corresponding Jacobian matrix is nonsingular at .epsilon. = 0. As a result, the solution of optimal regulator problem for nonstandard singularly perturbed systems can be obtained with an accuracy of O(.epsilon.$^{k}$ ). The proposed technique represents a significant improvement since the existing method for the standard singularly perturbed systems can not be applied to the nonstandard singularly perturbed systems.

A stochastic optimal power flow (S-OPF) model considering uncertainties of load and wind power is developed based on chance constrained programming (CCP). The difficulties in solving the model are the nonlinearity and probabilistic constraints. In this paper, a limit relaxation approach and an iterative learning control (ILC) method are implemented to solve the S-OPF model indirectly. The limit relaxation approach narrows the solution space by introducing regulatory factors, according to the relationship between the constraint equations and the optimization variables. The regulatory factors are designed by ILC method to ensure the optimality of final solution under a predefined confidence level. The optimization algorithm for S-OPF is completed based on the combination of limit relaxation and ILC and tested on the IEEE 14-bus system.

The optimal solution obtained by a linear programming model is to maximize the ramp inflow rate. It is argued in this paper that the maximization of inflow rate is different from the maximization of outflow rate under congested conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a systematic searching procedure from a linear programing formulation to a integer programming : first obtain the optimal solution by a linear programming and then adding weight to linear programming then. solve the optimal solution again by integer programming i.e. The proposed method is an interactive approach. Measure of effectiveness by simulation models regards the real time data(O/D, queue, delay, etc), can be utilized in the proposed interactive process.

This research study presents the development and application of an Elitist Genetic Algorithm (Elitist GA) for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, which is one of the most challenging problems in construction engineering. Main features of the developed algorithm are that the elitist roulette selection operator is developed to preserve the best individual solution for the next generation so as to obtain the improved solution, and that parallel schedule generation scheme is used to generate a feasible solution to the problem. The experimental results on standard problem sets indicate that the proposed algorithm not only produces reasonably good solutions to the problems over the heuristic method and other GA, but also can find the optimal and/or near optimal solutions for the large-sized problems with multiple resources within a reasonable amount of time that will be applicable to the construction industry. This paper will help researchers and/or practitioners in the construction project scheduling software area with alternative means to find the optimal schedules by utilizing the advantages of the Elitist GA.
