This study presents a hybrid harmony search algorithm (HHSA) to solve engineering optimization problems with continuous design variables. Although the harmony search algorithm (HSA) has proven its ability of finding near global regions within a reasonable time, it is comparatively inefficient in per

In this paper, we first formulate a De Novo nonlinear integer programming (NIP-I(DN)) problem of system reliability with interval coefficients. It is used for estimating and designing optimal reliability of an incomplete fault detecting and switching (FDS) system. Because of this we are able to use
A procedure for optimal allocation of sectionalizing switches in radial distribution systems is proposed. This procedure is aimed at minimizing unsupplied energy caused by network failures. Opportunities for alternative source supply made possible by network reconfiguration are considered. Two appli
