One of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. The cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. One approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs). In spite of reducing the emission, PEVs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. Technical challenges such as load and...

In distribution networks, failure to smooth the load curve leads to voltage drop and power quality loss. In this regard, electric vehicle batteries can be used to smooth the load curve. However, to persuade vehicle owners to share their vehicle batteries, we must also consider the owners' profits. A challenging problem is that existing methods do not take into account the vehicle owner demands ...

In most power system studies, a major part of the problem is the finding of the voltages needed to meet a given schedule of loads and generation. Until now, iteration methods have been used to calculate the respective load flows. This paper presents a study to compare Newton method and sparse matrices with artificial neural networks regarding a load flow problem in electric distribution lines. ...

in this paper, numerical investigation of a flat passive micromixer with heterogeneous surface properties that the flow through it, is driven by the electroosmotic flow have been presented. the governing equations, which consist of a laplace equation for the distribution of external electric potential, a poisson equation for the distribution of electric double layer potential, modified navier-s...

In view of the influence large-scale electric vehicle access to distribution network on spatial load prediction, this paper proposes a prediction method for urban considering and temporal charging load. Firstly, vehicles are classified according mode travel characteristics various types vehicles. Secondly, probability function is fitted rules survey statistical data residents. Then, model chain...

Based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. However, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. To resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

Estimation of the load, particularly of the peak load, is basis for the system state estimation, and for technical, and economic calculations. This makes possible improvement in economic operation, maintenance of electrical equipment, and optimal planning and operating of electrical distribution systems. In the paper, starting from a fuzzy correlation model of the loads, a power flow analysis f...

Increased electric energy consumption in recent years, associated economic problems, reduced reliability and increased power losses in electric networks. One of the main solutions in smart grids to overcome the mentioned problems is demand response programs. In demand response programs, operators apply time-varying tariffs to consumers, and convince them to change their consumption pattern. Amo...

Using electric vehicles, in addition to decreasing the environmental concerns, can play an important role in decreasing the peak and filling the off-peaks of the daily load characteristics. In other words, in smart grids' infrastructure, the load characteristics can be improved by scheduling the charge and discharge process of electric vehicles. In smart grids, the customers are instantaneously...
