    Huang Tan1, Haibo Yu1, Tianyang Chen1, Hanjun Deng2, Yetong Hu3,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.5, pp. 1949-1973, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.062574 - 25 April 2025

    Abstract With the increasing integration of emerging source-load types such as distributed photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and energy storage into distribution networks, the operational characteristics of these networks have evolved from traditional single-load centers to complex multi-source, multi-load systems. This transition not only increases the difficulty of effectively classifying distribution networks due to their heightened complexity but also renders traditional energy management approaches—primarily focused on economic objectives—insufficient to meet the growing demands for flexible scheduling and dynamic response. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an adaptive multi-objective energy management strategy that accounts for the distinct operational… More >

    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.5, pp. 1887-1918, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.062355 - 25 April 2025

    Abstract The globe faces an urgent need to close the energy demand-supply gap. Addressing this difficulty requires constructing a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES), which has proven to be the most appropriate solution. HRES allows for integrating two or more renewable energy resources, successfully addressing the issue of intermittent availability of non-conventional energy resources. Optimization is critical for improving the HRES’s performance parameters during implementation. This study focuses on HRES using solar and biomass as renewable energy supplies and appropriate energy storage technologies. However, energy fluctuations present a problem with the power quality of HRES. To… More > Graphic Abstract

    Collaborative Decomposition Multi-Objective Improved Elephant Clan Optimization Based on Penalty-Based and Normal Boundary Intersection

    Mengjiao Wei1,*, Wenyu Liu2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.83, No.2, pp. 2505-2523, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.060887 - 16 April 2025

    Abstract In recent years, decomposition-based evolutionary algorithms have become popular algorithms for solving multi-objective problems in real-life scenarios. In these algorithms, the reference vectors of the Penalty-Based boundary intersection (PBI) are distributed parallelly while those based on the normal boundary intersection (NBI) are distributed radially in a conical shape in the objective space. To improve the problem-solving effectiveness of multi-objective optimization algorithms in engineering applications, this paper addresses the improvement of the Collaborative Decomposition (CoD) method, a multi-objective decomposition technique that integrates PBI and NBI, and combines it with the Elephant Clan Optimization Algorithm, introducing the… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.143, No.1, pp. 967-1008, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.062332 - 11 April 2025

    Abstract Multi-objective optimization is critical for problem-solving in engineering, economics, and AI. This study introduces the Multi-Objective Chef-Based Optimization Algorithm (MOCBOA), an upgraded version of the Chef-Based Optimization Algorithm (CBOA) that addresses distinct objectives. Our approach is unique in systematically examining four dominance relations—Pareto, Epsilon, Cone-epsilon, and Strengthened dominance—to evaluate their influence on sustaining solution variety and driving convergence toward the Pareto front. Our comparison investigation, which was conducted on fifty test problems from the CEC 2021 benchmark and applied to areas such as chemical engineering, mechanical design, and power systems, reveals that the dominance approach More >
