Microgrid (MG) is a combination of distributed generators (DGs), energy storage systems (ESSs), and loads connected to distribution network that can either be in islanded mode or grid-tied mode. Similarly, multi-microgrid (MMG) system number interconnected MGs with larger complex network. Recently, the MMG management has created new challenges due inherent intermittency, uncertainty, probabilis...

One of the main challenges in the emerging smart grid is the integration of renewable energy resources (RER). The latter introduces both intermittency and uncertainty into the grid, both of which can affect the underlying energy market. An interesting concept that is being explored for mitigating the integration cost of RERs is Demand Response. Implemented as a time-varying electricity price in...

Performance of building Energy Management Systems (EMS) has been controversial in several studies due to lack of measured energy savings, changes in building use or operation, other changes that simultaneously affect building energy use, equipment malfunction, or weather normalization. This study evaluated energy savings in 20 buildings that have EMS installed to control HVAC. The buildings wer...

In Internet of Things (IoT) sensory environment Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are connected to the Internet through gateways and this gives birth to many real time sensor based applications. Applications from Internet querying for Spatio-temporal information within WSN may require query decomposition. Decomposition of queries may result in tasks having similar functional and Quality of Servic...

The rapid growths of power demand and renewable resources have led to numerous challenges. Constructing more resilient microgrids (MGs) provides an opportunity avoid dependency on the main grid. This article proposes innovative Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for that uses non-conventional energy sources such as solar power, wind storage electric vehicles (EVs). Numerous studies been published...

The renewable energy sources like solar and wind power will be economical in future due to upward pressure in fossil fuel prices, progress in renewable technologies as well as economy scale resulting from large scale production of renewable energy sources. As the usage of renewable energy sources will increase, decentralized supply and demand side management will be used instead of conventional...

The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) believes that the relief of pain and suffering of patients must be a priority for every emergency medical services (EMS) system. Adequate analgesia is an important step in achieving this goal. NAEMSP believes that every EMS system should have a clinical care protocol to address prehospital pain management. Adequate training and education of pr...

Home Energy Management Systems (HEMSs) have become necessary due to energy security and climate change concerns. Scheduling the operating time of household appliances is one most effective strategies used by HEMSs reduce electricity costs, with several studies proposing optimization for scheduling home grid usage cost. This work considers costs from Renewable Sources (RESs) Storage (ESSs) in ap...
