Clean and sustainable renewable energy technology is going to take responsibility of energy supply in electrical power systems. Using renewable sources improve the environment and reduce dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. In distribution power system, utilizing of wind and solar DGs comprises some advantages; consist of loss and emission reduction, and also improvement of voltage profile...

in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

in this paper, a discrete event simulation model of iranian railway system is used for analyzing performance of the system in freight sector. the model analysis shows more sensitivity of the system on loading and unloading facilities than on number of wagons and locomotives. system optimization through simulation optimization technique, shows that more than 4% of all wagons available in the net...

Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

Nowadays, the necessity of accurate quantitative decision support methods is becoming a critical subject for managers as rivalry between organizations caused a more fragile economic environment and brand reputation is becoming more important. Furthermore, dealing with incidents after they happened is not accepted by customers anymore. Managers require powerful decision making tools to support t...
