This paper presents a formulation of unit commitment for thermal units integrated with wind and solar energy systems and electrical vehicles with emphasizing on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP). The renewable energy resources are included in this model due to their low electricity cost and positive effect on environment. As well as, coordinated charging strategy of electrical vehicle...

the aim of this study was predict organizational citizenship behavior prevalence based on the staff perception of type of organizational structure in fars regional electric and power distribution companies (frepdc). statistical population consisted of the entire staff of fars regional electric and power distribution companies amongst 232 participants selected using random classification method....

The government policies and benefits led to the surge in penetration of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) Battery (BEVs) into both public private sectors. Power Grids are dynamic with load generation varying, wide spread adoption PHEVs can jeopardize endanger operation security distribution grids due overloading congestion. This paper develops two optimization models, one is for routing ...

Facing the recent growing concern about the environment and electric power crisis triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake, efficient use of energy has become an important issue. A smart grid that is a next-generation electric power network is expected to be one of the solutions and to form an enormous market. Aiming to enter this new smart grid market, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. es...

this paper is concerned with the estimation of total factor productivity (tfp) growth for the iranian electric utilities during the period 1980-1993 on the basis of panel data. a translog cost function is used which accommodates firm - specific variability through a one - way error component model. the results show that the iranian electricity supply industry experienced increasing returns to s...

We utilize a homodyne detection technique to achieve a new sensitivity limit for atom-based, absolute radio-frequency electric field sensing of 5 μV cm-1 Hz-1/2. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used for the homodyne detection. With the increased sensitivity, we investigate the dominant dephasing mechanisms that affect the performance of the sensor. In particular, we present data on power broad...
