With the growth of electricity generation from gas energy gas pipeline reliability can substantially impact the electric generation. A physical disruption to pipeline or to a compressor station can interrupt the flow of gas or reduce the pressure and lead to loss of multiple gas-fired electric generators, which could dramatically reduce the supplied power and threaten the power system security....

the ability of artificial neural network (ann) for estimating the natural gas demand load for the next day and month of the populated cities has shown to be a real  concern. as the most applicable network, the ann with multi-layer back propagation perceptrons is used to approximate functions. throughout the current work, the daily effective temperature is determined, and then the weather data w...

Multi-carrier energy systems (MCESs) provide collaboration between various kinds of carriers to supply the electricity, heating, and cooling demands. With widespread use MCESs in recent years, security assessment has attracted attention many contemporary researchers. However, complexity an MCES, including electrical, natural gas, district heating networks, different uncertainties imposes vast c...

many reports that appeared during the last 20 years have shown that atmospheric pollution causes serious damage to human health and to environment. electricity generation from fuel fossil is one of the major sources of pollution and considerable share of this damage. the price of electricity in iran, as in many other countries also, includes only the production of private costs and ignores any ...

design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. this paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. first, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (milp) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...

Overall price optimization strategy in the deregulated electricity market is one of the most important challenges for the participants, In this paper, we used Contingency Analysis Module of NEPLAN Software, a strategy of pricing to market participants is depicted.Each of power plants according to their size and share of the Contingency Analysis should be considered in the price of its hour. In ...

A life-cycle assessment (LCA) of corn ethanol was conducted to determine the reduction in the life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for corn ethanol compared to gasoline by integrating biomass fuels to replace fossil fuels (natural gas and grid electricity) in a U.S. Midwest dry-grind corn ethanol plant producing 0.19 hm y 1 of denatured ethanol. The biomass fuels studied are corn stover an...
