In the past, many refinements have been proposed to select equilibria in cheap talk games. Usually, these refinements were motivated by a discussion of how rational agents would reason in some particular cheap talk games. In this paper, we propose a new refinement and stability measure that is intended to predict actual behavior in a wide range of cheap talk games. According to our Average Cred...

This article presents a Harmony Search Algorithm to solve the unit commitment (UC) problem. A micro grid includes various types of smart distributed generators, renewable generators, storage devices and controllable load. A micro grid must satisfy its local needs and should be under the hierarchical control of management system. Due to this combination of conventional and renewable sources, the...

We present a randomized distributed algorithm that computes a ∆-coloring in any noncomplete graph with maximum degree ∆ ≥ 4 in O(log∆) + 2 √ log logn) rounds, as well as a randomized algorithm that computes a ∆-coloring in O((log logn)) rounds when ∆ ∈ [3, O(1)]. Both these algorithms improve on an O(log n/ log∆)-round algorithm of Panconesi and Srinivasan [STOC’1993], which has remained the st...

As energy demands around the world increase, the need for renewable energy sources, such as Micro-Grid (MG) that will not harm the environment has been increased. Micro-Grid has been extensively investigated as a promising solution to energy challenges in 21st century. The optimal generation is one of the important functions for the Micro-Grid operation. It should be noted that supplying therma...

-The objective of the present project is to develop solutions to improve energy efficiency in electric grids. The basic approach adopted in this research is based on a new concept in the Micro Grid, namely Demand/Response Optimization, which enables the implementation of the autonomous demand side energy management for a big variety of consumers, ranging from homes to buildings, factories, comm...

The Micro-grid, even though not a replacement of the conventional centralized power transmission grid, plays a very important role in the success of rapid development of renewable energy resources technologies. Due to the facts of decentralization, independence and dynamic of sources within a Micro-grid, a high level automation of protection is a must. Multi-Agent system as a approach to handle...

A micro-grid is an energy community having various Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as diesel engines, micro turbines, solar power, wind power, fuel cells and energy storage devices. The multi-agent architecture offers a hierarchical structure is very suitable for managing multi-individual and heterogeneous DERs in the micro-grid environment. This paper proposes a multi-agent architectu...

In many healthcare settings, intuitive decision rules for risk stratification can help effective hospital resource allocation. This paper introduces a novel variant of decision tree algorithms that produces a chain of decisions, not a general tree. Our algorithm, α-Carving Decision Chain (ACDC), sequentially carves out “pure” subsets of the majority class examples. The resulting chain of decisi...

Automatically identifying the new equipment after its integration and adjusting operation strategy to realize “plug and play” functionality are becoming essential for micro-grid operations. In order to improve and perfect the micro-grid “plug and play” function with the increased amount of equipment with different information protocols and more diverse system applications, this paper presents a...

Background: Micro-grid (MG) can be described as a group of controllable loads and distributed energy resources that can be connected and disconnected from the main grid and utilized in grid-connected or islanded modes considering certain electrical constraints. Methods: The objective of this article are as follows: (1) predict the uncertainties through the hybrid method of WT-ANN-ICA and (2) de...
