Power, Control, and Optimization
Description
Applications of optimization techniques are well known in the research areas of power systems, control systems, and computer science. The current trends on application of metaheuristics techniques are very popular among the researchers in the areas of power systems, control systems, and computer science across the globe. In this regard, the PCO global conference has organized a successful conference in the research areas of power systems, control systems, and optimization in Prague, Czech Republic, on 25–27th of August 2013. The well–known and new methodologies on optimization techniques have been used to solve some of the complicated and hard problems in the areas of power systems, control systems, and optimization.
This Special Issue welcomes the best papers from the 7th Global Conference on Power, Control, and Optimization (PCO’s2013) Prague,Czech Republic. The conference focuses on new development and contribution of the current research to the body of the knowledge in the area of optimal power, optimal control, and technology. Moreover, it will be also open for interested authors in power, control, and optimization areas to submit their manuscripts. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Optimal power
- Optimal control
- Optimization
- Stochastic hybrid systems
- Cams, gears, wheels, and valve optimization
- Stochastic optimal control
- Financial mathematics and actuarial sciences
- Android phone, mobile, WiMax, and wireless communications
- Smart grid, microgrid, and distribution and chaotic systems
- Scheduling and assignment problems
- Healthcare, bioinformatics, and signal processing
- Future energy planning and the environment
