India has evolved as self reliance country at all forefronts. Demand for energy is on rise due to the robust development of sectors like Automobile, Chemical, Information Technology and ITES in most part of the metropolitan states in India. There is a great deficit on energy particularly with supply chain management in Tamil Nadu. Government is exploring new ways of harnessing clean and green e...

This paper proposes a methodology to include the ability of offering secondary control in a seasonal medium-term self-scheduling of a price-taker hydro power producer with pumped storage. The methodology is based on a two-stage stochastic program. The first stage models the offering of secondary control and the second stage acts as recourse action by hourly generating power or use it for pumpin...

Increased power density, hot-spots, and temperature gradients are severe limiting factors for today’s state-of-the-art microprocessors. However, the flexibility offered by the multiple cores in future Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) results in a great opportunity for controlling the chip thermal characteristics. When a process is to be assigned to a core, a thermal-aware scheduling policy may be in...

the major problem of wind turbines is the great variability of wind power production. the dynamic change of the wind speed returns the quantity of the power injected to networks. therefore, wind–thermal generation scheduling problem plays a key role to implement clean power producers in a competitive environment. in deregulated power systems, the scheduling problem has various objectives than i...

With the growth of demand for electrical energy, it is a common practice in the power industry to shorten the maintenance duration and often to postpone maintenance tasks. Maintenance or overhaul of generating units is one of the crucial factors in delivering reliable electrical energy. A large part of the overhaul work is to examine the condition of the mechanical and the electrical elements. ...

Market-oriented reforms in the electricity supply industry worldwide have changed the decision investment context. Risks, such as the real need for new capacity and the return on investment, which were formerly borne by consumers or by taxpayers, now have to be faced by investors. However, even when scarcity prices efficiently reflect the tightness of supply in electricity markets, the reliabil...

Abstract With the goal of “double carbon,” wind power and PV are connected to grid on a large scale, which poses great challenge safe operation grid. The synergistic optimization “hydro-wind-PV hybrid systems” can bring into play ability coordination mutual assistance between different types sources, is one important measures increase reduce abandoned photovoltaic power. Based analysis characte...

abstract background: attention to different aspects of self‑efficacy leads to actual evaluation of self‑efficacy about physical activity. this study was carried out in order to design and determine psychometric characteristics of a questionnaire for evaluation of self‑efficacy about leisure time physical activity (selpa) among iranian adolescent boys, with an emphasis on regulatory self‑efficac...

This article presents a distributed real-time control system for the southern grid of the Cameroon power system. The southern grid, which supplies over 90 % of the power output in Cameroon, incorporates two remotely located hydro-electric generating stations, a power distribution center, several thermal plants and hundreds of kilometers of transmission lines. The proposed distributed control sy...

The title compound, (C(12)H(28)N)(2)[Cu(3.194)I(6)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)] was prepared from reaction of copper powder, copper(I) oxide, hydro-iodic acid, tetra-propyl-ammonium iodide and pyridine under hydro-thermal conditions. In the centrosymmetric Cu(4)I(6) (2-) anion, one Cu site is in a trigonal-planar coordination while the second Cu site, which is only partially occupied [site occupancy of 0.596...
