Since solar energy is intermittent, finding the best solutions for solar operated devices is a
challenge. Multiple techniques exist to reach the best solutions for optimal solar operated …

This paper presents a new multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method, named as R-
method, for ranking of Pareto-optimal solutions and selecting the best solution in multi-and …

A review of the literature reveals a dearth of works on functionally graded material sandwich
shells having an auxetic core layer. This study contributes an analytical approach for the free …

The appropriate control and management of reactive power is of great relevance in the
electrical reliability, stability, and security of power grids. This issue is considered in order to …

The environmental impact and scarcity of fossil fuels have led to a tremendous increase in
the demand and use of renewable energy resources. The use of photovoltaic (PV) energy is …

Ever-growing needs in pipeline welding relating to quality, frequent usage of advanced, heat-
sensitive, and corrosion-resistant materials alongside high production costs encourage the …

Determining the time and cost of activities is one of the most important stages of construction
project planning. Measures taken to shorten the time, such as the need for more or more …

In this paper, a modified Rao-2 (MRao-2) algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of
optimal power flow (OPF) in a power system incorporating renewable energy sources (RES) …

A simple multi-attribute decision-making method based on ranking of alternatives and
attributes is proposed in this paper. The method ranks the alternatives with respect to each …

This paper offers three easy-to-use metaphor-less optimization algorithms proposed by Rao
to solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem. Rao algorithms are parameter-less …
