Measuring Efficiency of Generating Electric Processes

Electric Power Generating Bicycle

It is manifest the growing interest in both personal health and environmental issues. The device described on this paper contemplates both aspects: generating environment-friendly electric power while keeping fit. A car alternator excited through a 12V battery is coupled to a mountain bicycle, and this arrangement enables the lighting of six halogen lamps, if a cyclist pedals fast enough. Such ...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

A Robust Two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis Model for Measuring Efficiency: Considering Iranian Electricity Power Production and Distribution Processes

This paper presents a new robust two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for efficiency evaluation of the electricity power production and distribution companies. DEA has been widely used for benchmarking the electricity companies. Traditional studies in DEA consider systems as a whole when measuring the efficiency, ignoring the operation of individual processes within a system. To tackle thi...

Generating Homogeneous Poisson Processes

We present an overview of existing methods to generate pseudorandom numbers from homogeneous Poisson processes. We provide three well-known definitions of the homogeneous Poisson process, present results that form the basis of various existing generation algorithms, and provide algorithm listings. With the intent of guiding users seeking an appropriate algorithm for a given setting, we note the...
