In this paper, Multi-Microgrids (MMG) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (SSER) are main power generation units with small scales. Optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. The defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

The class of fractional linear generating functions, one of the few known classes of probability generating functions whose iterates can be explicitly stated, is examined. The method of bounding a probability generating function g (satisfying g"(1)< oo) by two fractional linear generating functions is used to derive bounds for the extinction time distribution of the Galton-Watson branching proc...

An accurate estimation of the mean annual sediment yield from basins contributes to optimizing water resources planning and management. More specifically, both reservoir sedimentation damage caused infrastructures fall within its field application. Through a simple probabilistic combination function implemented in hydrometeorological models, this can be estimated on management scale for ungauge...
