The role of Demand Side Management (DSM) with Distributed Energy Storage (DES) has been gaining attention in recent studies due to the impact of the latter on energy management in the smart grid. In this work, an Energy Scheduling and Distributed Storage (ESDS) algorithm is proposed to be installed into the smart meters of Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing consumers possessing in-home energy storage de...

As smart meters continue to be deployed around the world collecting unprecedented levels of fine-grained data about consumers, we need to find mechanisms that are fair to both, (1) the electric utility who needs the data to improve their operations, and (2) the consumer who has a valuation of privacy but at the same time benefits from sharing consumption data. In this paper we address this prob...

A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

Two different survey-meters are used to measure the gamma dose rate inthe area of oil and gas production Thi-Qar province, southeast Iraq. The obtained results compared with those previously by spectroscopic analysis collected soil samples from same study regions.The using RadEye (PRD) survey-meter was ranged (0.06-0.19)nGyh-1, while Ludlum survey meter were ranged(10.23-33.48) nGyh-1. Gamma sh...

To walk 100 meters at 4 kilometers per hour (an average walking pace) takes about 1.5 minutes. What would prevent an oncologist investing this brief time in visiting a patient in the next building? It is not that oncologists as a group are uncaring. I can think of too many examples where the opposite is true. Was he too busy? Was he burned out? Did he feel guilty at having failed to control the...

One of the major factors, contributing to the emission of greenhouse gases in the environment is generation of pollutant gases in municipal landfills. As for the design and building of a gas collecting system, it is necessary to properly estimate the amount and type of the landfill emissions. By means of LandGEM model, this study predicts the amount and type of the landfill gases, produced for ...

In the fall of 2016, a field study was conducted in the Uinta Basin Utah to improve information on oil and natural gas well pad pneumatic controllers (PCs) and emission measurement methods. A total of 80 PC systems at five oil sites (supporting six wells) and three gas sites (supporting 12 wells) were surveyed, and emissions data were produced using a combination of measurements and engineering...

use of fossil energy provides greenhouse gases emissions and therefore global warming phenomenon and the incidence of further consequences such as expanding deserts and blasting the dust storms in the middel east, including iran. taking advantage of renewable energy is the most appropriate solution to prevent greenhouse gas emissions. ahvaz region in the southwest of with a population of 133812...
