<p><span lang="EN-US">When the GPV is under partial shading, several peaks appear in the characteristic P-V, namely a GMP and one or more local maximums. The classical algorithm ‘P&amp;O’ MPPT cannot converge on the GMP for low irradiation values and is trapped by tracking down a LMP so making the algorithm ineffective making the algorithm ineffective, in this case under 200 W/m². An alternative objective function is developed to optimize the performance of the FLC by selecting the appropriate gains using PSO. In this simulation the GPV is composed of one hundred modules grouped parallel series (10x10) and subjected to partial shading. The proposed FLC provides better performance for GMP tracking for the chosen shade configuration selected.</span></p>

In this paper, an adaptive electromagnetic energy harvester is proposed and analyzed. It is composed of an oscillating mass equipped with an electromagnetic transducer, whose pins are connected to a resonant resistive–inductive–capacitive electric circuit in order to increase its effective bandwidth. Closed-form expressions for the optimal circuit parameters are presented, which maximize the power harvested by the device under harmonic excitation. The harvesting efficiency, defined as the ratio between the harvested power and the power absorbed by the oscillating device, is also reported. It is used as an alternative objective function for the optimization of the harvester circuit parameters.

Predictive deconvolution filters are designed to remove as much predictable energy as possible from the input data. It is generally understood that temporally correlated geology can cause problems for these filters. It is perhaps less well appreciated that uncorrelated random noise can also severely affect filter performance. The root of these problems is in the objective function being minimized; in addition to minimizing predictable multiple energy, the filter is attempting to simultaneously minimize the temporally correlated geology and the random‐noise energy. Instead of minimizing the input trace energy, an alternative objective function for minimization can be defined that is the result of a linear operator acting on the input data. Ideally this alternative objective function contains only the targeted noise (e.g., multiples). The linear operator that creates this objective function is designated as the “noise‐optimized objective” (NOO) operator. The filter that minimizes this new objective function is the NOO filter. Useful NOO operators for multiple suppression are those that maximize multiple energy and/or minimize primary or random noise energy in the data. Examples of such linear operators include stacking, bandpass filtering, dip filtering, and muting or scaling. Simply scaling down the primary‐containing portion of the objective function can address the problematic removal of correlated geology. Stacking can also be a useful NOO operator. By minimizing the predictable energy on a stacked trace, the prestack filters are less affected by random noise. The NOO stacking method differs from a standard poststack filter design because the filters are designed to be applied prestack. Further, this method differs from a standard prestack prediction filter because it minimizes the predictable energy on the stacked trace. The standard prestack filter has reduced multiple suppression because the filter must compromise between minimizing the multiple energy and minimizing the random noise energy. Minimizing the impact of random noise can be quite important in prediction filtering. At a signal‐to‐random‐noise ratio of one, for example, half the multiple remains after filtering. This random noise‐related degradation might help to explain the common observation that prediction filters tend to leave multiple energy in the data. A time‐varying gap implementation of a stacking NOO filter addresses these random noise effects while also addressing data aperiodicity issues.

The Patrol Boat Scheduling Problem with Complete Coverage (PBSPCC) is concerned with finding a minimum size patrol boat fleet to provide continuous coverage at a set of maritime patrol regions, ensuring that there is at least one vessel on station in each patrol region at any given time. This requirement is complicated by the necessity for patrol vessels to be replenished on a regular basis in order to carry out patrol operations indefinitely. In this paper, we establish a number of important theoretical results for the PBSPCC. In particular, we establish a set of conditions under which an alternative objective function (minimize the total time not spent on patrol) can be used to derive a minimum size fleet. Preliminary results suggest that the new theoretical insights can be used as part of an acceleration strategy to improve the column generation runtime performance.

The developed countries are consuming more amount of energy in all forms including electricity continuously with advanced technologies.  Developing  nation’s  energy usage trend rises quickly but very less in comparison with their population and  their  method of generating power is not  seems  to  be  as  advanced  as  developed  nations. The   objective   function   of   this   linear   programming model is to maximize the average efficiency of power generation inIndia for 2020 by giving preference to energy efficient technologies. This model is subjected to various constraints like potential, demand, running cost and Hydrogen / Carbon ratio, isolated load, emission and already installed capacities. Tora package is used to solve this linear program. Coal,  Gas,  Hydro  and  Nuclear  sources can are  supply around 87 %  of  power  requirement .  It’s concluded that we can produce power  at  overall  efficiency  of  37%  while  meeting  a  huge demand  of  13,00,000  GWh  of  electricity.  The objective function shows the scenario of highaverage efficiency with presence of 9% renewables. Maximum value   is   restricted   by   low   renewable   source’s efficiencies, emission constraints on fossil fuels and cost restriction on some of efficient technologies. This    model    shows    that    maximum    18%    of    total requirement   can   be   met   by   renewable itself which reduces average efficiency to 35.8%.   Improving technologies  of  renewable  sources  and  necessary  capacity addition  to  them in  regular  interval  will  enhance  their  role and existence against fossil fuels in future. The work involves conceptualizing, modeling, gathering information for data’s to be used in model for problem solving and presenting different scenarios for same objective.

Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran Project is one of the projects implemented by one of the companies engaged in telecommunications. In its implementation, each project including Shift to The Front II Komplek Sukamukti Banjaran has a time limit specified in the contract. Project scheduling is an important role in predicting both the cost and time in a project. Every project should be able to complete the project before or just in the time specified in the contract. Delay in a project can be anticipated by accelerating the duration of completion by using the crashing method with the application of linear programming. Linear programming will help iteration in the calculation of crashing because if linear programming not used, iteration will be repeated. The objective function in this scheduling is to minimize the cost. This study aims to find a trade-off between the costs and the minimum time expected to complete this project. The acceleration of the duration of this study was carried out using the addition of 4 hours of overtime work, 3 hours of overtime work, 2 hours of overtime work, and 1 hour of overtime work. The normal time for this project is 35 days with a service fee of Rp. 52,335,690. From the results of the crashing analysis, the alternative chosen is to add 1 hour of overtime to 34 days with a total service cost of Rp. 52,375,492. This acceleration will affect the entire project because there are 33 different locations worked on Shift to The Front II and if all these locations can be accelerated then the duration of completion of the entire project will be effective
