Strategic Planning and Management in Energy

Linking Strategic Planning and Management Manpower Planning

A well-developed strategic plan is merely an expensive report. It becomes a viable tool when it is placed in the hands of a manager competent to execute the plan. While the link between corporate strategic planning and management manpower planning seems obvious, a recent Business Week article suggests that companies are only now seriously trying to develop formal ties between the two systems. ̂ ...

Strategic Planning, Hypercompetition, and Knowledge Management

economic optimization and energy consumption in tray dryers

دراین پروژه به بررسی مدل سازی خشک کردن مواد غذایی با استفاده از هوای خشک در خشک کن آزمایشگاهی نوع سینی دار پرداخته شده است. برای آنالیز انتقال رطوبت در طی خشک شدن به طریق جابجایی، یک مدل لایه نازک برای انتقال رطوبت، مبتنی بر معادله نفوذ فیک در نظر گفته شده است که شامل انتقال همزمان جرم و انرژی بین فاز جامد و گاز می باشد. پروفایل دما و رطوبت برای سه نوع ماده غذایی شامل سیب زمینی، سیب و موز در طی...

Robust Optimization for Strategic Energy Planning

Long-term planning for energy systems is often based on deterministic economic optimization and forecasts of fuel prices. When fuel price evolution is underestimated, the consequence is a low penetration of renewables and more e cient technologies in favour of fossil alternatives. This work aims at overcoming this issue by assessing the impact of uncertainty on energy planning decisions. A clas...
