Optimal system operation, in general, involves the consideration of economy of operation, system security, emissions at fossil-fuel plants, optimal release of water at hydro power plants etc. and aim at improving the efficiency of the power system. In this research work, consideration will be given to two aspects of the optimal system operation, emissions and economy of operation, also known as...

Received Mar 17, 2017 Revised Aug 7, 2017 Accepted Sep 1, 2017 This paper discusses economic load dispatch Problem is modeled with nonconvex functions. These are problem are not solvable using a convex optimization techniques. So there is a need for using a heuristic method. Among such methods Teaching and Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is a recently known algorithm and showed promising res...

In programming we some times need to choose between several implementations of the same functionality based on the run-time types of several arguments. This is called Dynamic Multiple Dispatch. One example of Dynamic Multiple Dispatch is the geometry dispatcher in OpenTissue, which takes a pair of geometry objects and selects a collision-detection function based on the objects type. Unfortunate...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare rates of undertriage and overtriage of six ambulance dispatch protocols for the presenting complaint of nontraumatic abdominal pain, and to identify the optimal protocol. DESIGN Retrospective prehospital and emergency department chart review to classify patients' conditions as "emergency" or "nonemergency." Utility analysis was used to identify the preferred protoco...

The inaugural European Emergency Medical Dispatch conference was held in Stockholm, Sweden, in May 2013. We provide a synopsis of the conference proceedings, highlight key topic areas of emergency medical dispatch and suggest future research priorities.

Economic Dispatch Problem (EDP) has been discussed with reference to the developments based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approaches. A selected survey / overview on Economic Dispatch using Artificial Neural Network within the IEE/IEEE publications frame work have been presented.

Providers of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) face the online ambulance dispatch problem, in which they decide which ambulance to send to an incoming incident. Their objective is to minimize the fraction of arrivals later than a target time. Today, the gap between existing solutions and the optimum is unknown, and we provide a bound for this gap. Motivated by this, we propose a benchmark model ...

The main purpose of this research is to determine the generation quantity of each generator in a power system. In this way, not only will the electricity demanded by the system be supplied, but the cost of fuel along with the level of pollution can be minimized. Obviously, calculation of the optimal layout of power plants with the aim of minimizing fuel costs and pollutants level contributes to...
