OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES IN ENGINEERING The book describes the basic
components of an optimization problem along with the formulation of
design problems as mathematical programming problems using an
objective function that expresses the main aim of the model, and
how it is to be either minimized or maximized; subsequently, the
concept of optimization and its relevance towards an optimal
solution in engineering applications, is explained. This book aims
to present some of the recent developments in the area of
optimization theory, methods, and applications in engineering. It
focuses on the metaphor of the inspired system and how to configure
and apply the various algorithms. The book comprises 30 chapters
and is organized into two parts: Part I — Soft Computing and
Evolutionary-Based Optimization; and Part II — Decision Science
and Simulation-Based Optimization, which contains application-based
chapters. Readers and users will find in the book: An overview and
brief background of optimization methods which are used very
popularly in almost all applications of science, engineering,
technology, and mathematics; An in-depth treatment of contributions
to optimal learning and optimizing engineering systems; Maps out
the relations between optimization and other mathematical topics
and disciplines; A problem-solving approach and a large number of
illustrative examples, leading to a step-by-step formulation and
solving of optimization problems. Audience Researchers, industry
professionals, academicians, and doctoral scholars in major domains
of engineering, production, thermal, electrical, industrial,
materials, design, computer engineering, and natural sciences. The
book is also suitable for researchers and postgraduate students in
mathematics, applied mathematics, and industrial mathematics.
Concern for reliable power supply and energy-efficient system
design has led to usage of power electronics-based systems,
including efficient electric power conversion and power
semiconductor devices. This book provides integration of complete
fundamental theory, design, simulation and application of power
electronics, and drives covering up-to-date subject components. It
contains twenty-one chapters arranged in four sections on power
semiconductor devices, basic power electronic converters, advanced
power electronics converters, power supplies, electrical drives and
advanced applications. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate
students in electrical engineering and power electronics including
related professionals, this book * Includes electrical drives such
as DC motor, AC motor, special motor, high performance motor
drives, solar, electrical/hybrid vehicle and fuel cell drives *
Reviews advances in renewable energy technologies (wind, PV, hybrid
power systems) and their integration * Explores topics like
distributed generation, microgrid, and wireless power transfer
system * Includes simulation examples using MATLAB (R)/Simulink and
over four hundred solved, unsolved and review problems
