a hybrid hydro/wind/photovoltaic base on hydrogen storage system is designed to supply power demand of pump stations. the aim of this design is minimization of net present cost of the hybrid system. optimization problem is subject to reliable supply of the demand. the system is investigated in the north west of iran (meshkinshahr) and the local data is applied. about 12 pump stations are found ...

Nowadays, electricity is one of the most significant infrastructures required for economic development of countries. Hence, predicting electricity demand is very important especially in industry as a major electricity-consuming sector. The majority of studies under the subject of electricity demand have been performed by econometrics and it is not possible to investigate the effect of different...

The optimal management of distributed generation (DG) enhances the efficiency of the distribution system; On the other hand, increasing the interest of customers in optimizing their consumption improves the performance of DG. This act is called demand side management. In this study, a new method based on the intelligent algorithm is proposed to optimal operate the demand side management in the ...

this paper investigates an epq model with the increasing demand and demand dependent production rate involving the trade credit financing policy, which is seldom reported in the literatures. the model considers the manufacturer was offered by the supplier a delayed payment time. it is assumed that the demand is a linear increasing function of the time and the production rate is proportional to ...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...

the main objective of this study was to investigate the effi ciency of biological treatmentof azo dye-containing wastewater with a sequencing batch reactor system, followed by ultrafi ltration.the performance of the system was quantifi ed by measuring the chemical oxygen demand and azo dyeconcentration. the biodegradation was carried out under combined alternating anaerobic and aerobiccondition...

determining production rate considering costs and revenues in order to maximize profit is one of the applied problems in small and medium size factories. mostly existing models in production planning consider production system statically and specify production rate, although the factors determining production rate include many different changes in practice. in fact, by increasing the production...

increasing of word demand load caused a new distributed generation (dg) to enter to powersystem. one of the most renewable energy is the photovoltaic system. it is beneficial to use thissystem in both separately as well as connected to power system using power electronics interface.in this paper an optimal pid controller for photovoltaic system systems has been developed. theoptimization techni...

Microgrid (MG) is one of the important blocks in the future smart distribution systems. The scheduling pattern of MGs affects distribution system operation. Also, the optimal scheduling of MGs will be result in reliable and economical operation of distribution system. In this paper, an operational planning model of a MG which considers multiple demand response (DR) programs is proposed. In the ...

The rapid industrialization and growth of world’s human population have resulted in the unprecedented increase in the demand for energy and in particular electricity. Depletion of fossil fuels and impacts of global warming caused widespread attention using renewable energy sources, especially wind and solar energies. Energy security under varying weather conditions and the corresponding system ...
