Algoritmo genético aplicado no planejamento da operação de um parque eólicoRobson Josué Molgaro
A energia eólica é a fonte renovável de geração de energia elétrica que mais vem crescendo a nível mundial. À medida que a participação dessa fonte em um sistema elétrico aumenta, torna-se necessário realizar o controle da potência fornecida à rede pelos aerogeradores, de forma a manter a qualidade da eletricidade entregue, seguindo as condições impostas pelo planejamento da operação. O trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para o planejamento de médio prazo da operação de um parque eólico, levando-se em consideração a minimização do custo da energia produzida. Para tanto são apresentados conceitos referentes as estratégias adotadas ao nível do planejamento da operação, aos algoritmos genéticos e as
ferramentas computacionais utilizadas para implementação e simulação do controle, a saber
Matlab e Global Optimization Toolbox. Por fim, discutem-se os resultados do controle proposto, através da simulação de cenários de produção eólica.
Agent based Aggregation of Cloud Services- A Research Agendaidescitation
-Cloud computing has come to the forefront as it
overcomes some of the issues in computing such as storage
space and processing power. It enables ubiquitous accessing
and processing of information without the need of excessive
computing facilities. In this work, we plan to brief some of the
issues in aggregating the cloud services, discovering futuristic
cloud service requests, develop a repository of the same and
propose an agent based Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning
system for cloud clients.
Now-a-days, Internet has become an important part of human’s life, a person
can shop, invest, and perform all the banking task online. Almost, all the organizations have
their own website, where customer can perform all the task like shopping, they only have to
provide their credit card details. Online banking and e-commerce organizations have been
experiencing the increase in credit card transaction and other modes of on-line transaction.
Due to this credit card fraud becomes a very popular issue for credit card industry, it causes
many financial losses for customer and also for the organization. Many techniques like
Decision Tree, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithm based on modern techniques like
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Fuzzy Logic have been already developed for
credit card fraud detection. In this paper, an evolutionary Simulated Annealing algorithm is
used to train the Neural Networks for Credit Card fraud detection in real-time scenario.
This paper shows how this technique can be used for credit card fraud detection and
present all the detailed experimental results found when using this technique on real world
financial data (data are taken from UCI repository) to show the effectiveness of this
technique. The algorithm used in this paper are likely beneficial for the organizations and
for individual users in terms of cost and time efficiency. Still there are many cases which are
misclassified i.e. A genuine customer is classified as fraud customer or vise-versa.
