[ 1 ] - Optimization of Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Electricity Generation Expansion Planning Problem Based on Newly Improved Gravitational Search Algorithm

Electricity demand is forecasted to double in 2035, and it is vital to address the economicsof electrical energy generation for planning purposes. This study aims to examine the applicability ofGravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and the newly improved GSA (IGSA) for optimization of themixed-integer non-linear electricity generation expansion planning (GEP) problem. The performanceindex of GEP...

[ 2 ] - Optimal Scheduling of Coordinated Wind-Pumped Storage-Thermal System Considering Environmental Emission Based on GA Based Heuristic Optimization Algorithm

The integration of renewable wind and pumped storage with thermal power generation allows for dispatch of wind energy by generation companies (GENCOs) interested in participation in energy and ancillary services markets. However, to realize the maximum economic profit, optimal coordination and accounting for reduction in cost for environmental emission is necessary. The goal of this study is to...

[ 3 ] - Optimal Bidding Strategies of GENCOs in Day-Ahead Energy and Spinning Reserve Markets Based on Hybrid GA-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm

In an electricity market, every generation company (GENCO) attempts to maximize profit according to other participants bidding behaviors and power systems operating conditions. The goal of this study is to examine the optimal bidding strategy problem for GENCOs in energy and spinning reserve markets based on a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm. The heuristic optimization algorithm used...

[ 4 ] - بهینه‌سازی اندازه، مکان و بهره‌برداری از فناوری‌های مختلف سیستم‌های تولید همزمان برق و حرارت

استفاده از سیستم‌های تولید همزمان حرارتی و الکتریکی، به دلیل بازدهی بالای آن‌، رو به افزایش است. با توجه به این که حداکثر بازدهی سیستم‌های تولید همزمان برق و حرارت به پارامترهای گوناگونی وابسته است، هدف از این مطالعه بهینه‌سازی اندازه، مکان و بهره‌برداری از فناوری‌های مختلف سیستم‌های تولید همزمان در شبکه‌های انرژی حرارتی و الکتریکی به‌منظور افزایش سود بهره‌بردار شبکه، با در نظر گرفتن قیود فنی- ...

[ 5 ] - یکپارچه‌سازی بهینه انرژی باد در برنامه‌ریزی توسعه تولید انرژی الکتریکی با در نظر گرفتن نوسانات و عدم قطعیت

Wind Power generation integrated in electrical power system can cause of variation and uncertainty which must be considered in process of generation expansion planning (GEP). The goal of this study is to model the GEP problem integrated with wind power generation and introduce the fuzzy-probability model to consider variation and uncertainty of wind power generation. To verify and optimize the ...

[ 6 ] - Computing optimal subsidies for Iranian renewable energy investments using real options

For the valuation of the renewable energy investments, providing private investors with a financial incentive to accelerate their investment is a very significant issue. Financial subsidies are known by the majority of the people to be one of the most important drivers in renewable energy expansion and one of the main reasons which result in the development of any industry. In this paper, we pr...
