The fossil fuels consumption is rapidly growing due to increased water and electricity demands. An interconnected water-energy nexus is generally composed of thermal power plants, combined potable water and power (CWP) generation units, and desalination only processes. Hence, participation of hydro power plants in electricity generation facilities not only reduces the total fuel consumption of ...

14 15 Wind power integration has always been a key research area due to the green future power system target. However, the 16 intermittent nature of wind power may impose some technical and economic challenges to Independent System Operators 17 (ISOs) and increase the need for additional flexibility. Motivated by this need, this paper focuses on the potential of Demand 18 Response Programs (DRP...

In this paper, Multi Objective Harmony Search Algorithm (MOHSA) is used to solve the Unit Commitment (UC) problem between thermal generating units with wind impact an electricity market to minimize total cost to achieve a real system considered with various generator and wind constraints in power systems. Today the wind power is utilized as energy in power systems to play an important role in r...

the main objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of innovation on the market share instability in the iranian food and drinking industry with a 4- digit code. according to schumpeter that states one of the most important hypothesis in this area, says there are a non-linear and an inverse of u-shaped relationship between the two variables of innovation and market share instability. ...

Since electricity, and its reliable provision on command, is a multi-attribute commodity, it should be priced over multiple dimensions if it is to be provided efficiently, and that requires multiple but related markets. So far New York is the only domestic electricity market that has introduced separate segments for ancillary services, together with eleven locationally defined markets for energ...

Recent changes in the operation and planning of power systems have been motivated by the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) and Demand Response (DR) in the competitive electricity markets’ environment, with deep concerns at the efficiency level. In this context, grid operators, market operators, utilities and consumers must adopt strategies and methods to take full advantage of demand ...
