Heuristic Optimization of Electrical Energy Systems: Refined Metrics to Compare the Solutions
Gianfranco Chicco, Andrea Mazza
Many optimization problems admit a number of local optima, among which there is the global optimum. For these problems, various heuristic optimization methods have been proposed. C…
