Reservoir optimization, is one of recent problems, which has been researched by several methods such as Linear Programming (LP), Non-linear Programming (NLP), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Dynamic Programming (DP). Differential Evolution (DE), a method in GA group, is recently applied in many fields, especially water management. This method is an improved variant of GA to converge and reach to the optimal solution faster than the traditional GA. It is also capable to apply for a wide range space, to a problem with complex, discontinuous, undifferential optimal function. Furthermore, this method does not requirethe gradient information of the space but easily find the global solution by asimple algorithm. In this paper, we introduce DE, compare to LP which was considered mathematically decades ago to prove DE's accuracy, then apply DE to Pleikrong, a reservoir in Vietnam, then discuss about the results.

This paper develops a decompose procedure for finding the optimal solution of convex and concave Quadratic Programming (QP) problems together with general Non-linear Programming (NLP) problems. The paper also develops a sophisticated computer technique corresponding to the author's algorithm using programming language MATHEMATICA. As for auxiliary by making comparison, the author introduces a computer-oriented technique of the traditional Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) method and Lagrange method for solving NLP problems. He then modify the Sander's algorithm and develop a new computational technique to evaluate the performance of the Sander's algorithm for solving NLP problems. The author observe that the technique avoids some certain numerical difficulties in NLP and QP. He illustrates a number of numerical examples to demonstrate his method and the modified algorithm.

In deregulated power markets, Independent System Operators (ISOs) maintains adequate reserve requirement in order to respond to generation and system security constraints. In order to estimate accurate reserve requirement and handling non-linearity and non-convexity of the problem, an efficient computational framework is required. In addition, ISO executes SCUC in order to reach the consistent operation. In this paper, a novel type of application which is Benders decomposition (BD) and Mixed integer non linear programming (MINLP) can be used to assess network security constraints by using AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) in a power system. It performs ACOPF in network security check evaluation with line outage contingency. The process of solving modified system would be close to optimal solution, the gap between the close to optimal and optimal solution is expected to determine whether a close to optimal solutionis accepetable for convenientpurpose. This approach drastically betters the fast computational requirement in practical power system .The numerical case studies are investigated in detail using an IEEE 118-bus system.

Background: The applications of constrained optimization have been developed in many problems. One of them is production planning. Production planning is the important part for controlling the cost spent by the company.Objective: This research identifies about production planning optimization and algorithm to solve it in approaching. Production planning model is linear programming model with constraints : production, worker, and inventory.Methods: In this paper, we use heurisitic Particle Swarm Optimization-Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) for solving production planning optimization. PSOGA is the algorithm combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and mutation operator of Genetic Algorithm (GA) to improve optimal solution resulted by PSO. Three simulations using three different mutation probabilies : 0, 0.01 and 0.7 are applied to PSOGA. Futhermore, some mutation probabilities in PSOGA will be simulated and percent of improvement will be computed.Results: From the simulations, PSOGA can improve optimal solution of PSO and the position of improvement is also determined by mutation probability. The small mutation probability gives smaller chance to the particle to explore and form new solution so that the position of improvement of small mutation probability is in middle of iteration. The large mutation probability gives larger chance to the particle to explore and form new solution so that the position of improvement of large mutation probability is in early of iteration.Conclusion: Overall, the simulations show that PSOGA can improve optimal solution resulted by PSO and therefore it can give optimal cost spent by the company for the  planning.Keywords: Constrained Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Linear Programming, Particle Swarm Optimization, Production Planning

In this paper hybrid method, Modified Nondominated Sorted Genetic Algorithm (MNSGA-II) and Modified Population Variant Differential Evolution(MPVDE) have been placed in effect in achieving the best optimal solution of Multiobjective economic emission load dispatch optimization problem. In this technique latter, one is used to enforce the assigned percent of the population and the remaining with the former one. To overcome the premature convergence in an optimization problem diversity preserving operator is employed, from the tradeoff curve the best optimal solution is predicted using fuzzy set theory. This methodology validated on IEEE 30 bus test system with six generators, IEEE 118 bus test system with fourteen generators and with a forty generators test system. The solutions are dissimilitude with the existing metaheuristic methods like Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm-II, Multiobjective differential evolution, Multi-objective Particle Swarm optimization, Fuzzy clustering particle swarm optimization, Nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II.

Multiple-use planning is useful in matching forest production possibilities and social desires. A linear programming model for multiple-use planning is presented. Planning is approached as a set of production objectives which have a set of management activities to help achieve them and a set of constraints which limit the management activities. Timber yield is the objective function and other multiple-use objectives are stated as constraints. Production can be increased by certain management activities, but these activities are limited by budget, cutting, and other technical constraints. Size of the area cut is the choice variable and the solution is tied to 21.6-acre (8.74-ha) grid cells thereby identifying the geographical location of management and production activities. The model was tested on a planning unit and sensitivity analyses were performed on the initial optimal solution. These indicated that on this planning unit, there is a wide range of production alternatives which will not affect other multiple-use production possibilities and that production is sensitive to budget changes.

Recently, the coordination of EVs’ charging and renewable energy has become a hot research all around the globe. Considering the requirements of EV owner and the influence of the PV output fluctuation on the power grid, a three-objective optimization model was established by controlling the EVs charging power during charging process. By integrating the meshing method into differential evolution cellular (DECell) genetic algorithm, an improved differential evolution cellular (IDECell) genetic algorithm was presented to solve the multiobjective optimization model. Compared to the NSGA-II and DECell, the IDECell algorithm showed better performance in the convergence and uniform distribution. Furthermore, the IDECell algorithm was applied to obtain the Pareto front of nondominated solutions. Followed by the normalized sorting of the nondominated solutions, the optimal solution was chosen to arrive at the optimized coordinated control strategy of PV generation and EVs charging. Compared to typical charging pattern, the optimized charging pattern could reduce the fluctuations of PV generation output power, satisfy the demand of EVs charging quantity, and save the total charging cost.
