the aims of this study were about determining of amount of accuracy in tractor-moldboard plow system for tillage operation on paddies and also survey on efficacy of decision support software application on amount of energy use. for this purpose, decision support software was developed by visual basic 6.0. for survey in amount of efficacy of applying the decision support system on paddies tillag...

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...

Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation. In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary. Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are known as two powerful flexible tools that ca...

The paper describes the modernization of ash slurry drainage and handling from Units A1 A2 devices for receiving, extinguishing transporting bottom fly boiler grate to silos mass/volume process water sumps, with new technical solutions experiences in exploitation. main goal system TPP Kostolac A is improve operation reduce number deadlocks during operation.

Laboratories with a quality system accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard have a definite advantage, compared to non-accredited laboratories, when preparing their facilities for the implementation of the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Accredited laboratories have an established quality system covering the admi...

Integration of wind units into power system introduce various sources of technical and economical challenges to operation of power system due to its inherent uncertainty and variability. In operation of power system, stochastic wind generation can affect on the system security. In this paper, optimal security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) in presence of demand response program (DR) based o...
