economists, sociologists and others have come to-this conclusion that the only element that eventually will determine the orientation of development, economic and social development of any country is the human resource. hence the physical capital and natural resources are not determinant one in this respect. the development of human resources which is the result of younger generation education ...

Energy delivery at well construction in regions with hard climate is distinguished by variable demand in electric and heat power. Energy consumption of drilling equipment, production and living facilities varies greatly during the year, depending on power load charts and climate conditions. Power supply of remote well construction sites is mostly accomplished by operating autonomous power sourc...

in this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. in order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy time v...

the use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. one way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. the use of ener...

this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...
