the power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. this paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (pv)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in rafsanjan, iran. for this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

The need for more and more dependable systems has been increased in the last decades. Strategic decisions during the design of these dependable systems require the joint control of the estimated cost and the product quality. Cost efficiency and development time became the most important factors of the software development process according to the international trends. The estimation of the cost...

this paper presents a new approach which is based on quality control in order to optimize supplier selection. using inspections, removing the defected materials and considering penalties for low quality materials are the main factors which we have considered in modeling. in this model costs are divided to three parts: 1- costs of purchasing 2- costs of inspection policy 3- costs of quality and ...

Existing neural machine translation (NMT) systems utilize sequence-to-sequence networks to generate target word by word, and then make the generated at each time-step counterpart in references as consistent possible. However, trained model tends focus on ensuring accuracy of current does not consider its future cost which means expected generating subsequent (i.e., next word). To respond this i...

The article presents cost modeling results from the application of the Genetic-Causal cost modeling principle. Industrial results from redesign are also presented to verify the opportunity for early concept cost optimization by using Genetic-Causal cost drivers to guide the conceptual design process for structural assemblies. The acquisition cost is considered through the modeling of the recurr...
