Increase of the variable renewable energy sources in power system is causing additional needs for reserve system. On other hand, integration storage and demand response offers flexibility Most current studies that model systems do not market. Because this, these eliminate possibility to assess full benefits response. The method proposed this study enables comparison between two approaches evalu...

Despite their importance as investment vehicles and as housing, very little analysis of multifamily markets has been undertaken to date. The literature that has been produced has, with few exceptions discussed below, focused on the aggregate national market, or occasionally on the regional market. But housing markets are well known to be local and diverse. The purpose of this paper is to examin...

Since electricity, and its reliable provision on command, is a multi-attribute commodity, it should be priced over multiple dimensions if it is to be provided efficiently, and that requires multiple but related markets. So far New York is the only domestic electricity market that has introduced separate segments for ancillary services, together with eleven locationally defined markets for energ...

How to best site reserves is a leading question for conservation biologists. Recently, reserve selection has emphasized efficient conservation: maximizing conservation goals given the reality of limited conservation budgets, and this work indicates that land market can potentially undermine the conservation benefits of reserves by increasing property values and development probabilities near re...

Suicide is a well-known public health problem in the United States. Macroeconomic conditions, among many other factors, because of their impacts on psychological well-being of individuals, are thought to be linked to suicide attempts. However, previous research on the relationship between suicide rates and macroeconomic conditions, especially that of labor market conditions, has resulted into a...

in this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. system uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. for handling uncertainties, monte carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to d...

In this paper we develop a possible notion of shortterm value-based reliability for operating an electric power network. As the electric power industry goes through the restructuring process, the operation based on the value-based reliability may be more appropriate than based on the traditional (N1) security criteria. The value-based reliability requires a framework where the factors to be con...

This paper presents a comprehensive framework model of a distribution company with security and reliability considerations. A probabilistic wind farm, which is a renewable energy resource, is modeled in this work. The requirement energy of distribution company can be either provided by distribution company’s own distributed generations or purchased from power market. Two reliability indices as ...
