Environmental-economic evaluation of sugar cane bagasse gasification power plants versus combined-cycle gas power plants
Approximately 2.4 million tons of bagasse are produced each year in Iran, most of which are currently treated as waste adding to serious environmental concerns. Application of bagasse for energy production is a sustainable solution to supply the required energy within the sugar refineries and export the surplus electricity to the grid. Currently, the energy demand in Iranian sugar mills is main...

متن کاملDetermining the Optimal Strategy of Multi Virtual Power Plants using GA-GT
abstract: In the present work, determining the optimal strategy(profit based) of multi virtual power plants (VPPs) as well as the objective of maximizing profit through the multi-level control of VPPs are discussed by the micro-grid utilization center including virtual power plants. VPPs include renewable resources such as wind farms, photovoltaic, and conventional resources such as fuel cell, ...
متن کاملStochastic Procedures for the Optimal Sensor Location in Chemical Plants
Regarding the stochastic solution schemes, techniques based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs) were proposed initially. Benqlilou et al. (2004) applied the GA toolbox of MATLAB program to solve the design and retrofit of reliable SNs, and Gerkens and Heyen (2005) presented two ways of parallelizing the classic GA to reduce the solution time. A hybrid procedure was developed by Carnero et al. (2005a) t...
