Abstract. In this paper, we propose to study a generalized form of the exponential power distribution which contains others in the literature as special cases. This unifying exponential power distribution is characterized by a parameter ω and a function h(ω) which regulates the tail behavior of the distribution, thus making it more flexible and suitable for modeling than the usual normal di...

Turning to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is the most logical politics in securing the modern society from critical changes in earth increasing temperature. However, Distributed Generation (DG) sources could lead to new challenges in electricity network, mainly allocation of DG sources in distribution level of power system will set the existing network under stress of power flow parameters. The...

The microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. Normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based Distributed Generation (DG) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. In addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. Hence, these issues hav...

Abstract This paper, based on a novel hybrid techno-economic model for geothermal power plants with endogenized plant lifetime, investigates the economic feasibility of sustainable exploitation resources electricity generation. To this end, standard terminology and classifications from literature are reviewed, such as “sustainability”, “sustainable operation”, “renewability”, “recovery”, “recha...

the paper tries to present an improved mathematical model for distribution companies (discos) in order to solve distribution network expansion planning (dnep) problems in the presence of certain resources of distributed generations (dgs) entitled small scale gas engines in the medium voltage grids. with the aim of minimizing investment and operation costs, the recommended model combines a compr...

Abstract The Lindley distribution has been generalized by several researchers in recent years. In this paper, we introduce and study a new generalization of extended power named alpha transformed ( APTEPL ) that provides better fits than the Power existing generalizations. It includes Lindley, as special cases. article various properties such moments, moment generating function, Characteristic ...

organizational culture of an organization is one of the fundamental staffs' job satisfaction factors. this study aimed to determine the effects of organizational culture on faculty members' job satisfaction using hofstede's model. in a descriptive applied study 61 faculty members of shahid beheshti university of medical sciences were randomly selected and studies in 2015. hofstede's model were ...
