An Improved Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Tabu Search Algorithm for Expansion Planning of Large Dimension Electric Distribution Network
Published in: Energies
Sep 01, 2019
Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks is a common issue in electrical distribution planning. Minimizing the total cost of the objective function with technical constraints make it a combinatorial problem which should be solved by powerful optimization algorithms. In this paper, a new improved hybrid Tabu search/particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the electric expansion planning. The proposed method is analyzed both mathematically and experimentally an...

Telemarketing is a cost-effective instrument that offers products or services to customers through two-way and one-to-one communications over the phone. This research will use a real data collected from a Portuguese retail bank dataset during (May/ 2008 to June/ 2013) period, in order to sell long term deposits. The dataset comprises a total of 20 variables in a total of 41188 telephone contacts, and a binary (“yes” or “no”) response variable that describes whether or not the customer will purc...
