Complex power generation scheduling, correlated uncertainties, environmental issues and hybrid energy system modeling have become very important research topics due to rapid growth of large-scale distributed renewable energy system, deregulated electric power markets and responsive demand. The intermittent nature of the primal energy sources (i.e. wind, sun, water) increases uncertainty as well...

the efficiency of oil extraction from oil seeds is affected by seed harvesting time, drying methods, seed storage conditions and finally the means of seed transportation to the factory. to determine the grain moisture content at harvest  and its effect on seed while on drying trails, (employing different canola dryers), a study was conducted in mazandaran province in 2009. a factorial complete ...

energy harvesting from surrounding environment has been attractive for many researchers in recent years. therefore, developing appropriate test apparatus to study energy harvesting mechanisms and their performance is of paramount importance. due to their electromechanical characteristics, piezoelectric materials are used for harvesting energy from environmental vibrations. for optimum utilizati...

The purpose of this study is to suggest direction for future study of the energy-IT industry that will be used for framework to increase IT utilization in the energy industry. Recently, Green IT is a becoming global issue because of global environmental pollution. Also, IT roles in energy industry are becoming more important. However, the related studies were IT industry oriented that is not su...

An energy system is described in which, in both single-stomached and ruminant animals, the heat increment of feeding is considered to be linearly related to five measurable quantities. For both kinds of animals three of the quantities, with their heat increments in parentheses, are urinary N (wu; kJ/g), faecal organic matter (wd; kJ/g) and positive protein retention (wp; kJ/g). In ruminants the...

In this work, a method is proposed to quantify the efficiency of carbon utilization by soil microbes. Microcalorimetry was used to compute the heat yield (Y(Q/X)) of six soil samples collected in the Amazon. A combined mass and energy balance is developed to quantify the enthalpy of the glucose oxidation reaction (Delta(r)H(s)) and the biomass yield (Y(X/S)) from the experimental values of Y(Q/...
