The integration of distributed generation systems, including intermittent solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind, has a significant impact on the power system [...]

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...

In this paper, a distributed method for reactive power management in a distribution system has been presented. The proposed method focuses on the voltage rise where the distribution systems are equipped with a considerable number of photovoltaic units. This paper proposes the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) approach for solving the optimal voltage control problem in a distri...

The power to gas (P2G) technology can realize the large-scale storage of electric energy in form natural gas, so that system and have ability flow energy, degree coupling between is deepened. As continues increase, an integrated (IES) with grid as core has emerged. However, under uncertain conditions, current planning methods still cannot guarantee optimal interests each manufacturer, a collabo...

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

Integrated energy systems (IESs) have attracted wide attention as effective frameworks to develop efficient use of resources. Proactive preparedness is a sensible approach for integrated distribution networks (IDNs) propitiously cope with high-impact rare (HR) events. In this paper, resilient-constrained two-stage expansion planning methodology proposed the aim simultaneously optimal IDNs and r...
