This paper presents a novel solution method for joint energy and Spinning Reserve (SR) dispatch problem. In systems in which the Lost Opportunity Cost (LOC) should be paid to generators, if the LOC is not considered in the dispatch problem, the results may differ from the truly optimum solution. Since the LOC is a non-differentiable function, including it in the formulation makes the problem so...

We present a shock-capturing space-time Discontinuous Galerkin method to approximate all speed flows modeled by systems of conservation laws with multiple time scales. The method provides a very general and computationally efficient framework for approximating such systems on account of its ability to incorporate large time steps. Numerical examples ranging from computing the incompressible lim...

marine industry requires continued development of new technologies in order to produce oil. an essential requirement in design is to be able to compare experimental data from prototype structures with predicted information from a corresponding analytical finite element model. in this study, structural model updating may be defined as the fit of an existing analytical model in the light of measu...

the purpose of this study is to implement a new modification of the variational iteration method (h-s-vim), which is a combination of spectral method and variational iteration method for heat transfer problems with high nonlinearity order. the merit of this method is that it does not require the solution of any linear or nonlinear system of equations unlike spectral method. furthermore the prop...
