MOTIVATION To be valuable to biological or biomedical research, in silico methods must be scaled to complex pathways and large numbers of interacting molecular species. The correct method for performing such simulations, discrete event simulation by Monte Carlo generation, is computationally costly for large complex systems. Approximation of molecular behavior by continuous models fails to capt...

This paper describes simulation results of a small 500 W wind fuel cell hybrid energy system. The system consists of a Southwest Wind Power Inc. AIR 403 wind turbine, a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and an electrolyzer. Dynamic modeling of various components of this small isolated system is presented. Simulink is used for the dynamic simulation of this nonlinear 48 V hybrid energy ...

This paper presents the simulation technique for simulating a micro grid (MG) and the analysis results of the operating characteristics of a MG with a hybrid power source. The hybrid power source in this research included both a diesel engine generation set and a wind generation system. The simulation tool adopted by this research is the professional software, Simulink. The simulation results a...

In this paper, three mechanisms for task allocation among police force agents in the rescue simulation environment are presented. Three different approaches namely full auction-based, partitioningbased and hybrid approaches are briefly described. The empirical results of using the hybrid approach show a significant improvement in performance over the other two approaches. By using the hybrid me...

In this work the fuel consumption of two vehicles is compared. For investigating the fuel consumption a whole vehicle simulation is developed with the SmartPowerTrains library and the SmartElectricDrives library. Both librarys are written in Modelica language. As a reference vehicle a conventional vehicle with manual transmission is modeled. A parallel hybrid electric vehicle with a starter/gen...

Traffic simulation is an important tool for modelling the operations of dynamic traffic systems and helps analyse the causes and potential solutions of traffic problems such as congestion and traffic safety. Microscopic simulation models provide a detailed representation of the traffic process, which makes them most suitable for evaluation of complicated traffic facilities and Intelligent Trans...

An experiment for using more than one simulation of sub-networks collaborating as a single large simulation is suggested, based on work with a similar situation. The background and relevant details of the initial solution are described to provide an outline for the solution. Work on this method will help development of simulations for hybrid networks, where newer pieces may be added to the simu...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is an established method for studying the conformational changes that are important for protein function. Recent advances in hardware and software have allowed MD simulations over the same timescales as experiment, improving the agreement between theory and experiment to a large extent. However, running such simulations are costly, in terms of resources, stora...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid Monte Carlo simulation-genetic approach (MCS-GA) for optimal operation of a distribution network considering renewable energy generation systems (REGSs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The aim of this paper is to design an optimal charging /discharging scheduling of BESSs so that the total daily profit of distribution company (Disco) can be maximiz...

Compensation of delay and dynamic response of servo-hydraulic actuator is critical to the stability and accuracy of hybrid experimental and numerical simulations of the seismic response of structures. In this study, current procedures for compensation of actuator delay are examined and improved procedures are proposed. The proposed procedures need little or no a priori information about the beh...
