Productivity Performance of The Iraninan Electric Power Industry

This paper is concerned with the estimation of total factor productivity (TFP) growth for the Iranian electric utilities during the period 1980-1993 on the basis of panel data. A translog cost function is used which accommodates firm - specific variability through a one - way error component model. The results show that the Iranian electricity supply industry experienced increasing returns to s...

Power System Reserve from Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising source of flexibility for the power grid. This paper looks at the ability of EVs to provide power system reserve by studying the potential driving and charging profiles of EVs in an Irish context. The results show that the potential for EVs to provide contingency reserve is strongly dependent on the time of day, day of week and the seasonal effect of clim...

Investigating the Effects of Electric Vehicle with Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm on Power System

Abstract: As fuel prices increase and environmental issues become more serious due to the use of fossil fuels, as well as the expiration of fossil fuels, the researchers are looking to find alternative fossil fuels. Using renewable and green energy like solar energy using photovoltaic systems would be a convenient and cost-effective way. It is important to note that the efficiency of these cell...

Electric Power Generation with Reverse Electrodialysis

The computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. The program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area S = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number N = 300 pairs). The stack operatingconditions are optimized. Seaw...
