Practical application of thermionic space nuclear power systems necessitates the investigation of such systems responses to changes in operation and design parameters as well as load-following characteristics. The principle building block in these systems is the thermionic fuel element (TFE). A Thermionic Transient Analysis Model (TUAM) is developed to simulates transient and steady-state opera...

This paper presents a Gaussian process model-based short-term electric load forecasting. The Gaussian process model is a nonparametric model and the output of the model has Gaussian distribution with mean and variance. The multiple Gaussian process models as every hour ahead predictors are used to forecast future electric load demands up to 24 hours ahead in accordance with the direct forecasti...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

Electric vehicles play a key role for developing an eco-sustainable transport system. One critical component of an electric vehicle is its battery, which can be quickly charged or exchanged before it runs out. The problem of electric vehicle dispatching falls into the category of the shortest path problem with resource renewal. In this paper, we study the shortest path problems in (1) electric ...

Short-term load forecasting (STLF) plays an important role in the operational planning security functions of an energy management system. The short term load forecasting is aimed at predicting electric loads for a period of minutes, hours, days or week for the purpose of providing fundamental load profiles to the system. The work presented in this paper makes use of PSO based local linear wavel...

The speed of message dispatching is an important issue in the overall performance of object-oriented programs. We have developed an algorithm for constructing efficient dispatch functions that combines novel algorithms for efficient single dispatching, multiple dispatching, and predicate dispatching. Our algorithm first reduces methods written in the general predicate dispatching model (which g...

in this paper, load and buckling mode of a smart column are presented. the theoretical model is a three-layer piezoelectric composite beam that behaves as an axial actuating mechanism. this actuator consists of an elastic core sandwiched between two piezoelectric active outer layers. the piezoelectric layers are polarized transversely, i.e., the polarization vector is parallel to the applied el...

In the context of carbon trading, energy conservation and emissions reduction are development directions integrated systems. order to meet requirements in power grid, considering different responses system time periods, a wind-hydrogen multi-time scale scheduling model was established optimize energy-consumption problem system. As is multiobjective nonlinear problem, artificial fish swarm algor...
