A stand-alone hybrid energy system is needed to mitigate the growing demand for future energy and to reduce emissions generated by conventional fuel sources. This work shows and proposes an optimum hybrid energy system configuration with less environmental pollution for a coastal region of Bangladesh with a load demand of 292.20 kWh/d and a peak load of 41.14 kW. This research presents the cost of energy (COE) and net present cost (NPC) for a PV-wind hybrid system with five alternative fuel generator technologies. For each possible configuration, the effects of three alternative dispatch algorithms, load following (LF), cycle charging (CC), and combined dispatch (CD), are examined. All three algorithms were validated using a genetic algorithm (GA), Cuckoo search algorithm (CUSA), Constrained Particle Swarm optimization (CPSO), Harmony search algorithm (HSA), and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is also conducted by utilizing the gasoline price, discount rate, battery cost, PV cost, and inflation rate. The results show that the PV-wind-natural gas-based system provides the minimum COE (0.196 USD/kWh) and NPC (270,483 USD) when the CD algorithm is followed. For the same optimal hybrid energy system, the COE is 0.201 USD/ kWh, 0.0998 USD/kWh, 0.101 USD/kWh, 0.101 USD/kWh, and 0.0987 USD/kWh respectively for GA, CUSA, CPSO, HSA, and NSGA-II. However, COE increases by 8 % (0.212 USD/kWh) and 15 % (0.225 USD/kWh) when the CC and LF algorithms are followed. In addition, a comparison of all configurations reveals that the PV-windbiomass configuration with the CD algorithm excludes biomass generators to lower the COE, making the system emission-free.

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the income of many bank users. Many users without emergency funds had difficulty coping with this unexpected event and had to use credit or apply to the government for bailout funds. Therefore, it is necessary to develop spending plans and deposit plans based on transaction data of users to assist them in saving sufficient emergency funds to cope with unexpected events. In this paper, an emergency fund model is proposed, and two optimization algorithms are applied to solve the optimal solution of the model. Secondly, an early warning mechanism is proposed, i.e. an unexpected prevention index and a consumption index are proposed to measure the ability of users to cope with unexpected events and the reasonableness of their expenditure respectively, which provides early warning to users. Finally, the model is experimented with real bank users and the performance of the model is analysed. The experiments show that compared to the no-planning scenario, the model helps users to save more emergency funds to cope with unexpected events, furthermore, the proposed model is real-time and sensitive.

This article proposes a relax-and-discretize approach for optimal control of continuous-time differential algebraic systems. It works by relaxing the algebraic equations and penalizing the violation into the objective function using the augmented Lagrangian, which converts the original problem into a sequence of optimal control problems (OCPs) of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The relax-and-discretize approach brings about flexibility, by allowing the OCPs of ODEs to be solved by the method of choice, such as direct or indirect methods. Conditions are developed for global, local, and suboptimal convergence in terms of the solution of the underlying OCPs. The method is applied to an illustrative example.

Distortions of current and voltage waveforms from a sinusoidal shape are, not only a source of technical problems, but also have serious economic effects. Their occurrence is related to the common use of loads with nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. These are both high-power loads (most often power electronic switching devices supplying high-power drives), but also widely used low-power loads (power supplies, chargers, energy-saving light sources). The best way to eliminate these distortions is to use active power filters. The cost of these devices is relatively high. Therefore, scientists all over the world are conducting research aimed at developing techniques for the proper placement of these devices, in order to minimize their investment costs. The best solution to this problem is to use optimization techniques. This paper compares the methods and criteria used by the authors of publications dealing with this topic. The summary also indicates a possible direction for further work.

In this article, a novel optimization algorithm is implemented to estimate the design variables of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The main objective is to get the minimum of the sum of squared errors (SSE), which is defined as the difference between the measured and the calculated data. The newly devel-oped optimization algorithm is known as the Enhanced Bald Eagle Search (EBES) optimization Algorithm. To verify the proposed algorithm, three tested cases are introduced: BCS 500 W, 250 W, and Horizon H-12 stacks. To study the impact of pressure and temperature variation on the proposed algorithm, the studied cases are repeated under various pressure and temperature conditions. One obstacle to be solved is a nonlinear complex problem that requires an efficient optimization algorithm. A comparison with the existing optimization algorithms is conducted which confirms the effectiveness of the newly developed EBES algorithm. (c) 2022 THE AUTHORS.

In order to reduce power losses in a power system and to improve voltage profile, researchers have examined and studied optimizing Photovoltaic Power distributed generation (DG) which is location and size in a power system, but the results have some drawbacks. Several approaches developed to make this important issue more efficient, including coming up with new algorithms and improving those already in existence. Many of the proposed algorithms are only concerned with the real power loss, however. Voltage stability control is a critical factor in modern power systems, which makes incorporating reactive power losses in optimizing DG allocation for voltage profile improvement necessary. The goal of this work is to solve this issue by combining Genetic Algorithm and Improved Particle Swarm optimization to optimize DG size and location by considering both real and reactive power losses. Power loss sensitivity factors and real and reactive power flow factors used in identifying which buses will receive DGs. A MATLAB- based program was developed and tested on a test system using distributed generators, considering the proposed method. As compared to Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm optimization and Improved Particle Swarm optimization methods, the Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Improved Particle Swarm optimization method is better for reducing both real and reactive power losses.
