A Review on Energy Storage Systems Planning in Active Distribution Networks and its Applications

With the restructuring of power systems, increase of renewable energy sources, and as networks become smarter, power systems are facing new challenges such as uncertainty in available energy resources. An appropriate solution to address these challenges are to use energy storage systems. Therefore, sizing, location, and selection of energy storage systems are important to maximize their benefit...

An innovative algorithm for planning and scheduling healthcare units with the aim of reducing the length of stay for patients (Case study: Cardiac SurgeryWard of Razavi Hospital of Mashhad)

One of the key applications of operational research in health systems management is to improve the mechanism of resource allocation and program planning in order to increase the system efficiency. This study seeks to offer an innovative method for the planning and scheduling of health service units with the aim of reducing the patients' Length of Stay (LOS) in the Cardiac Surgery Ward of Razavi...

A Novel Method for Designing and Optimization of Networks

In this paper, system planning network is formulated with mixed-integer programming. Two meta-heuristic procedures are considered for this problem. The cost function of this problem consists of the capital investment cost in discrete form, the cost of transmission losses and the power generation costs. The DC load flow equations for the network are embedded in the constraints of the mathematica...
