The article presents the solution adopted in an existing blast furnace with only two safety valves to minimize dust and gas emissions atmosphere, case of emergency relief due abnormal overpressure during operating issues process. Before implementation system, several openings bleeder were observed: These led sensitive pollutant emissions, also terms acoustic visive events, high impact on surrou...

One important issue in using the industrial and manufacturing facilities is to consider their impacts on the environment. Many of these equipment have negative effects on the environment when operated for sometimes. In this research the probabilistic logistic times and the destructive effects for maintenance are studied and appropriate model is suggested and evaluated. The aim of the proposed m...

wind power generation is variable and uncertain. in the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. in this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via monte carlo simulation ...

This paper assesses whether impending electricity industry restructuring in an investor-owned utility’s home state encourages the utility to improve efficiency at its generating plants. Under costplus regulation, utilities have little incentive to reduce operating costs since they can pass them directly to ratepayers. Restructuring programs increase utilities’ exposure to competitive markets fo...
