The increase in Distributed Generation (DG) penetration in distribution network can be used as a means of addressing the increasing load demand without the upgrade of transmission lines. However, this increasing demand despite the supplementary supply from DG sources can cause the system to operate at its maximum capacity or at point of voltage collapse. It therefore, becomes necessary to deter...

A new indicator of drought-induced water stress is introduced and applied at the county level in the USA. Unlike most existing drought metrics, we directly consider current daily water demands and renewable daily water supply to estimate the potential stress. Water stress indices developed include the Normalized Deficit Cumulated to represent multiyear droughts by computing the maximum cumulati...

Research background: Demand forecasting helps companies to anticipate purchases and plan the delivery or production. In order face this complex problem, many statistical methods, artificial intelligence-based hybrid methods are currently being developed. However, all these have similar problematic issues, including complexity, long computing time, need for high performance of IT infrastructure....

Reduction of maximum demand With the rising cost of electricity, there are large incentives There are three main ways in which maximum demand can to reduce the maximum demand charges incurred at a sugar be reduced; mill. The advantages of good maximum demand control, the power factor correction, control Strategy used to implement Such a system and a dedistributing loads more evenly, scription o...
