It is important to minimize the energy consumption of autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) deployed in real world missions. One of the ways that this can be accomplished is to choose the vehicle’s motion to minimize the mechanical and electrical energy usage required by the vehicle’s motion. This paper considers energy efficient motion planning for skid-steered AGVs, an important and large class o...

As a sustainability property, energy efficiency is of an extreme importance, especially in environments that are heavy energy consumers, such as homes and buildings. Nowadays, homes and buildings are equipped with many devices that could be exploited in order to make them smart and energy-efficient. Our vision is to bring convergence of smart environments, energy efficiency and automated planni...

Concerns related to climate change and security of energy supply is pushing various countries to make strategic energy planning decisions. In this regard, energy system modelling is an appropriate method to find out the utilization of current declining non-renewable energy resources and other possible scenarios. Consequently, it is available to consider various aspects of energy system decision...

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...
