Optimization of coal blending in thermal power plants using G ray‐ T aguchi method: An operations management perspective

Abstract Coal quality variability significantly affects the efficiency, operating cost, and environmental performance of coal‐fired thermal power plants. This study aims to optimize coal blending by integrating the Taguchi Design of Experiments (DOE) with Gray Relational Analysis...

Adaptive Dragonfly Algorithm for AI-enabled path planning of humanoid robots in obstacle-constrained environments

Abstract Reliable path planning is a significant requirement for humanoid robots to move around in an environment filled with obstacles. In this paper, a novel method for humanoid robot navigation is proposed based on the Adaptive Dragonfly Algorithm (aDA), which is an improvemen...
