Mobile interactive applications are becoming increasingly important. One such application alone — augmented reality — has enormous potential in fields ranging from entertainment to aircraft maintenance. Such applications demand good interactive response. However, their environments are resource-poor and turbulent, with frequent and dramatic changes in resource availability. To keep response tim...

Electricity demand response refers to consumer actions that change the utility load profile in a way that reduces costs or improves grid security. Residential demand response (RDR) can be treated as an energy resource which can be assessed and commercially developed. RDR prospectors require more detailed information about usage patterns and penetration for specific electrical appliances during ...

Demand response and distributed generation are key components of power systems. Several challenges are raised at both technical and business model levels for integration of those resources in smart grids and microgrids. The implementation of a distribution network as a test bed can be difficult and not cost-effective; using computational modeling is not sufficient for producing realistic result...

Cloud computing environment provisions the supply of computing resources on the basis of demand, as and when needed. It builds upon advances of virtualisation and distributed computing to support cost efficient usage of computing resources, emphasizing on resource scalability and on-demand services. It allows business outcomes to scale up and down their resources based on needs. Managing the cu...

Present power systems face problems such as rising energy charges and greenhouse gas (GHG) releases. These may be assuaged by participating distributed generators (DGs) demand response (DR) policies in the distribution system (DS). The main focus of this paper is to propose an management (EMS) approach for campus microgrid (µG). For purpose, a Pakistani university has been investigated optimal ...

in this present study the dissolved air flotation (daf) system was investigated for the treatment of kermanshah oil refinery wastewater. the effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (cod) removal was examined experimentally. all the experiments were done under a...

W e show simple yet optimal results to update the inventory/capacity levels, expected profit, fill rates, and service levels of substitutable resources in response to an updating of the mean demand forecasts for the resources. We find that a change in the mean demand of one resource does not affect the optimal inventory level of any other resource. The results are obtained for demands with loca...

In this paper, a model for hybrid transmission expansion planning (TEP) and reactive power planning (RPP) considering demand response (DR) model has been presented. In this study RPP considered by TEP for its effects on lines capacity and reduction of system expansion costs. On the other hand the expansion of the transmission system is an important subject, especially dealing with the new i...
