Minimizing Excess Pressures by Optimal Valve Location and Opening Determination in Water Distribution Networks
Gençoğlu, Gençer; Merzib, Nuri (Elsevier BV; 2016-07-28)
Water leakage, which could be defined as supplied, treated, transmitted and finally lost volume of a water source; needs to be minimized in a water distribution network (WDN). This paper presents a heuristic optimization model to minimize excess nodal pressures in a water distribution network by determining the location and setting of control valves. The optimization technique is based on Genetic Algorithms (GA) which could be defined as a search heuristic that imitates the process of natural selection. The...
Minimizing the number of tool switching instants in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
Konak, Abdullah; Kulturel-Konak, Sadan; Azizoğlu, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01)
In this study, we address a part-type sequencing and tool switching problem arising in Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We consider the single machine problem of minimizing the number of tool switching instants. We propose two tabu search approaches to find high-quality solutions. Our computational results reveal that both tabu search approaches produce optimal or near-optimal solutions in reasonable times.
Minimizing the Age of Information in Broadcast Wireless Networks
Kadota, Igor; Uysal, Elif; Singh, Rahul; Modiano, Eytan (2016-09-30)
We consider a wireless broadcast network with a base station sending time-sensitive information to a number of clients. The Age of Information (AoI), namely the amount of time that elapsed since the most recently delivered packet was generated, captures the freshness of the information. We formulate a discrete-time decision problem to find a scheduling policy that minimizes the expected weighted sum AoI of the clients in the network. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to provide a scheduli...
Minimization of EMF Harmonics and Cogging Torque for a Medium Speed RFPM Wind Turbine Generator
Akgemci, Aysel; Zeinali, Reza; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-17)
There are several methods to reduce EMF harmonics and cogging torque in permanent magnet generators. This paper investigates the influence of magnet embrace optimization and magnet skewing on the performance of a 2.5 MW 400 rpm radial flux permanent magnet (RFPM) wind turbine generator. The medium speed RFPM generator is designed by applying cost optimization to the analytical model and the design is verified using finite element analysis (FEA). The design is modified so that both the induced EMF harmonics ...
Minimizing flowtime and maximum earliness on a single machine
Koksalan, M; Azizoğlu, Meral; Kondakci, SK (1998-02-01)
We consider the bicriteria scheduling problem of minimizing flowtime and maximum earliness on a single machine. The problem is known to be NP-hard. We develop heuristic procedures for generating all efficient sequences for the cases where machine idle time is either allowed or not allowed. For both cases we also discuss an algorithm that finds the best of the approximately efficient sequences for a given objective function by generating only a small subset of those sequences. We present computational result...
