hydrogen as an ideal energy carrier can play a very important role in future energy systems for hydro-gen production can be used a variety of technologies and sources. one of the most promising methods for large-scale hydrogen production is thermo-chemical water decomposition using heat energy from nuclear, solar and other sources. the water splitting thermo-chemicals cycles are processes where...

nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. in order to investigate the eff...

introduction: studying the hydrological cycle, especially in large scales such as water catchments, is difficult and complicated despite the fact that the numbers of hydrological components are limited. this complexity rises from complex interactions between hydrological components and environment. recognition, determination and modeling of all interactive processes are needed to address this i...
