Nevertheless, cost effectiveness, reliability and pollutant emissions are still major issues with DG systems. The optimization goal was to minimize cost, maximize reliability and minimize emissions (multi-objective) subject to the constraints (power balance and design constraints). This paper discusses the optimization that was performed using Hopfield Neural Networks (HNN), and the Hybrid Hopfield Neural Network-PSO (HNN-PSO) algorithms. © 2011 Universitas Indonesia. date: 2011 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Elamvazuthi, I. and Ganesan, T. and Vasant, P.
