Independent system operators (ISO) and regional transmission organizations (RTO) adopt
centralized optimization approaches for the optimal operation of power systems, which …

Analytical target cascading is a method for design optimization of hierarchical, multilevel
systems. A quadratic penalty relaxation of the system consistency constraints is used to …

IN a typical product development process, one of the early steps is the verifi cation that the
resulting product or system will meet some predefined design specifi cations or targets T …

Firms design products that appeal to consumers and are feasible to produce. The resulting
marketing and engineering design goals are driven by consumer preferences and …

This paper presents a methodology for design optimization of decomposed systems in the
presence of uncertainties. We extend the analytical target cascading (ATC) formulation to …

In this paper a multi-level system design (MLS) algorithm is presented and utilized for a wind
turbine system analysis. The MLS guides the decision making process for designing a …

Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a methodology for hierarchical multilevel system design
optimization. In previous work, the deterministic ATC formulation was extended to account …

Modelling of vehicle fuel consumption and emissions has emerged as an effective tool to
help develop and assess vehicle technologies and to help predict vehicle fuel consumption …

The ability of automakers to improve the fuel economy of vehicles using engineering design
