Balance between electricity production and consumption plays an important role for future strategic plan of a region. From this point of view, the concerning region should be aware of and forecast future production-consumption cycle and balance them. In this research, Northern-Iraq situation is taken into consideration to elaborate electricity energy consumption and compare with the generation....

The regulatory schemes currently used for reliability improvement have weaknesses in the provision of quality services based on the customers’ perspective. These schemes consider the average of the service as a criterion to incentivize or penalize the distribution system operators (DSOs). On the other hand, most DSOs do not differentiate electricity services at the customer level, due to the st...

Electricity is one of the fundamental necessities of the human being which is commonly used for industrial, domestic and agricultural purposes, therefore problem arises when we distribute this electricity and cannot work beyond the meter readings. With the advent of time technology has provided tremendous advancements on its consumption, generation and distribution, one such area for its improv...

EMELIE-ESY is a partial equilibrium model with focus on electricity markets. Private investors optimize their generation capacity investment and dispatch over the horizon 2010 to 2050. In the framework of the Energy Modeling Forum 28, we investigate how climate policy regimes affect market developments under different technology availabilities and climate policies on the European power markets....

Due to the rapid expansion of information and communication technology (ICT) usage, the telecommunications industry is faced with a challenge to promote green ICT toward achieving a low-carbon society. One critical obstacle in planning long-term strategies for green ICT is the uncertainty of various external factors, such as consumers’ lifestyle and technological advancement. To tackle this iss...

Industries are one of the main sources of pollution in the world. Besides, the levels of energy resources consumption including water, electricity, and fossil fuel are very different among industries. On the other hand, Iranian government pays a large amount of energy subsidy to manufacturing units. Because of it, the government wants to know which of manufacturing industries are efficient, pro...

In the next several decades it is expected that the United States and the rest of the nations of the world will greatly expand their consumption of electricity. But many questions will accompany this expansion: Can we build enough generating capacity? Do we have enough energy resources? Can we accommodate centralized and dispersed needs, large and small applications, and the diverse requirement...

Nowadays the use of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is increasing dramatically. The HEV is mainly dependent on electricity and there is always a need for storage of charge. Fuel Cell (FC), Batteries and Ultra Capacitor are being used for the proposed HEV as an electric power source or as an energy storage unit. The aim of developing an energy management technique is to utilize the sources accord...

In this study several Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were experimented to predict electricity consumption for a residential house in New Zealand. The effect of number of users in the house, day of the week and weather variables on electricity consumption was analyzed. Each model has been constructed using different structures, learning algorithms and transfer functions in order to come ...
