Power loss is the most significant parameter in power system analysis and its adequate calculation directly effects the economic and technical evaluation. This paper aims to propose a multi-objective optimization algorithm which optimizes dc source magnitudes and switching angles to yield minimum THD in cascaded multilevel inverters. The optimization algorithm uses metaheuristic approach, namely Harmony Search algorithm. The effectiveness of the multi-objective algorithm has been tested with 11-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter with optimized DC voltage sources using MATLAB/Simulink. As the main objective of this research paper is to analyze total power loss, calculations of power loss are simplified using approximation of curves from datasheet values and experimental measurements. The simulation results, obtained using multi-objective optimization method, have been compared with basic SPWM, optimal minimization of THD, and it is confirmed that the multilevel inverter fired using multi- objective optimization technique has reduced power loss and minimum THD for a wide operating range of multilevel inverter.

Study Results

Multi-objective optimization of industrial styrene reactor is done using Harmony Search algorithm. Harmony search algorithm is a recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm which is inspired by musical improvisation process aimed towards obtaining the best harmony. Three objective functions – productivity, selectivity and yield are optimized to get best combination of decision variables for styrene reactor. All possible cases of single and multi-objective optimization have been considered. Pareto optimal sets are obtained as a result of the optimization study. Results reveal that optimized solution using harmony search algorithm gives better operating conditions than industrial practice.

Appropriate Sentences

Abstract Today, automated extractive text summarization is one of the most common techniques for organizing information. In extractive summarization, the most appropriate sentences are selected from the text and build a representative summary. Therefore, probing for the best sentences is a fundamental task. This paper has coped with extractive summarization as a multi-objective optimization problem and proposed a language-independent, semantic-aware approach that applies the harmony search algorithm to generate appropriate multi-document summaries. It learns the objective function from an extra set of reference summaries and then generates the best summaries according to the trained function. The system also performs some supplementary activities for better achievements. It expands the sentences by using an inventive approach that aims at tuning conceptual densities in the sentences towards important topics. Furthermore, we introduced an innovative clustering method for identifying important topics and reducing redundancies. A sentence placement policy based on the Hamiltonian shortest path was introduced for producing readable summaries. The experiments were conducted on DUC2002, DUC2006 and DUC2007 datasets. Experimental results showed that the proposed framework could assist the summarization process and yield better performance. Also, it was able to generally outperform other cited summarizer systems.
