This paper a Multi-objective Honey Bee Mating Optimization (MOHBMO) is proposed for Environmental/ Economic Power Dispatch (EED) problem. This paper proposes a new environmental/economic load dispatch model that considers cost and emission function coefficients with uncertainties and the constraints of ramp rate. Due to the environmental concerns that arise from the emissions produced via fossi...

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 ...

This paper examines the incentives to exercise market power that generators would face and the di®erent strategies that they would follow if all electricity supplies in Chile were traded in an hourly-unregulated spot market. The industry is modeled as a Cournot duopoly with a competitive fringe; particular care is given to the hydro scheduling decision. Quantitative simulations of the strategic...

Selection of suitable sites for wind power plants is one of the most important decision on wind resources development. Site selection for the establishment of large wind power plants requires spatial evaluation taking technical, economic, and environmental considerations into account. This study has applied a combination of PROMETHEE and Fuzzy AHP methods in a geographical information system en...

The objective of multi-site scheduling is to support the scheduling activities of a global scheduler and schedulers in distributed production plants in a cooperative way. A global schedule generated on a global level must be translated into detailed schedules as part of the local scheduling process. In case of disturbance, feedback between the local and global levels is essential. Previous meth...

European electricity companies trade electric power across country and market boundaries. So called schedules are data sets that define the terms and conditions of such power trades. Different proprietary or standardized formats for schedules exist. However, due to a wide variety of different trading partners and power markets, a number of problems arise which complicate the standardized exchan...

the wind as one of the manifestations of renewable energies is very important for tabernacle instead of fossil fuels. the sistan and baluchestan province, according to its topography and position is one of the best places to build wind power plant. in this research, for potential evaluating of the wind power plants construction were considered different criteria and sub-criteria in the province...
