Calibration of building model based on indoor temperature for overheating assessment using genetic algorithm: Methodology, evaluation criteria, and case study by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…This paper presents a robust automated methodology that can calibrate a building simulation model based on the indoor hourly temperature in multiple rooms simultaneously with high accuracy. This methodology includes a variance-based sensitivity analysis to determine building parameters that significantly influence indoor air temperatures, the Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm to calibrate different rooms simultaneously based on the significant param eters identified by the sensitivity analysis, and new evaluation criteria to achieve a high-accuracy calibrated model. …”

Performance analysis and optimization of photovoltaic-thermal system with direct contact membrane distillation using metaheuristic algorithms by Faisal Maqbool (14561804)

“…The objective is to maximize electrical efficiency, permeate flux, and outlet temperature by considering the effects of flow rates (1–10 L/min), solar irradiation (10–1000 W/m2), and ambient temperatures (291–324 K). Metaheuristic algorithms, including Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), are employed to determine the optimal operating parameters. …”

An Enhanced Approach for Solar PV Hosting Capacity Analysis in Distribution Networks by Mohammad Zain Ul Abideen (16904637)

“…Therefore, it is imperative to account for these adverse effects of the integration of DERs on the distribution network and minimize their impact when calculating the Hosting Capacity (HC). Two algorithms are presented in this study derived from a novel modified iterative method and a novel Repeated Particle Swarm Optimization (RPSO) method for determining the HC for multiple DER units simultaneously or a single DER unit integrating into radial or mesh networks. …”

A new method for broad‐scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering by Alessandro Ferrarini (3951098)

“…To this purpose, we first used multilabel algorithms in order to convert the task of explaining a large assemblage of plant communities into a classification framework able to capture with high cross-validated accuracy the pattern of species distributions under a composite set of biotic and abiotic factors. …”
