Electricity markets are open after the deregulation of power systems due to competition. An optimization problem based on dynamic economic dispatch has recently come up in the new context of deregulated power systems known as bid-based dynamic economic dispatch (BBDED). It is one of the major operations and control functions in the electricity markets used to determine the optimal operations of market participants with scheduled load demands during a specified period. BBDED involves power generation companies (GENCOs) and customers to submit energy and price bids to the independent system operator (ISO) in a day-ahead market. The ISO clears the market with the objective of social profit maximization. In this paper, a BBDED problem is solved using an improved simulated annealing algorithm (ISA), including system constraints with different periods under bidding strategies. The proposed ISA technique is implemented in MATLAB and applied on a 3-unit system, a 6-unit system, and a 40-unit large-scale system. The proposed ISA is evaluated by comparison with relevant methods available in the literature, to demonstrate and confirm its potential in terms of convergence, robustness, and effectiveness for solving the BBDED problem.

Recently, ophthalmic clinics have seen many complaints related to retinal diseases. The degree of clarity of the blood vessels (BV) in the eye can be an important indicator of some diseases affecting the retina such as diabetic retinopathy. To diagnose it, we need to intervene more than a medical team, especially in some difficult cases, through the exchange of medical images obtained by photography. This method has contributed significantly to the production of large data that can quickly saturate transmission, storage systems and increase processing time, so the need to compress images efficiently without modifying the content before transmission represents a major challenge. This paper provides an effective method for compressing color retinal images (CRI), which relies on the use of an integer lifting scheme (ILS) based on cohen daubechies-feaveau wavelet (CDFW9/7) and the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) to encode large coefficients. The obtained results demonstrate that the suggested method reduce algorithmic complexity, improve the retinal image quality and achieves high objective parameters values for ultra-low bitrate compared to the conventional methods.
