Available transfer capability (ATC) is the transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission network for further commercial activity over and above already committed uses which needs to be posted in the electricity market to facilitate competition. ATC evaluation is a complicated task including the determination of total transfer capability (TTC) and existing transfer capability (ETC)....

This paper proposes a model for strategic maintenance scheduling of offshore wind farms (SMSOWF) in a deregulated power system. The objective of the model is to plan the maintenance schedules in a way to maximize the profit of the offshore wind farm. In addition, some network constraints, such as transmission lines capacity, and wind farm constraints, such as labor working shift, wave height li...

• Optimal allocation of a Wind-Storage Unit (WSU) is developed. Congestion in energy transmission considered. The paper deals with price-maker WSU electricity markets. Unscented Transform adapted to handle wind power uncertainty. This proposes an optimal (WSU). Since lines congestion varies according the size, location, and operation generation unit systems, we assess location as function its v...

network location models comprise one of the main categories of location models. these models have various applications in regional and urban planning as well as in transportation, distribution, and energy management. in a network location problem, nodes represent demand points and candidate locations to locate the facilities. if the links network is unchangeably determined, the problem will be ...

In this paper we analyze the application of Newton's method to the solution of systems of nonlinear equations arising from equivalent forms of the rst{order Karush{Kuhn{Tucker necessary conditions for constrained optimization. The analysis is carried out by using an abstract model for the original system of nonlinear equations and for an equivalent form of this system obtained by a reformulatio...

Background and objective: The location of facilities is of great importance in healthcare and is of interest to researchers due to its importance. In this regard, a large proportion of classic location-allocation models concentrate on solving problems in an exclusive environment (non-competitive), but this assumption is rarely true in reality. Methods: At...

Facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the Hurwicz criterion is proposed. Thi...
