In April 2003 the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proposed the Wholesale Power Market Platform (WPMP) for common adoption by U.S. wholesale power markets. The WPMP is a complicated market design encompassing real-time, day-ahead, ancillary, and financial transmission rights markets. Variants of the WPMP have been adopted in various parts of the U.S. (e.g., New England), but other regi...

The operation of Fuel Cell Distributed Generation (FCDG) systems in distribution systems is introduced by modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) distributed generation (DG) system. The physical model of the fuel cell stack and dynamic models of power conditioning units are described. Then, suitable control architecture based on fuzzy logic contro...

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...

this paper expands a model different from existing models to analyze the cost and benefit of areinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (rcscpp) built in the desert regions of iran.based on the model and some assumptions for values of parameters, this paper calculates totalnet present value (tnpv) and the minimum electricity price in each phase by dividing the wholeservice period into four ...

FPGA companies are amongst the earliest adopters of next-generation integrated circuit process technology, as the economics of scaling are more favorable for FPGAs than for many other technologies. Moving to advanced processes involves many challenges, including power management, device modeling, increasing I/O performance to match the computational capacity, and enabling very large designs to ...

The importance of syngas as intermediate product on the gas to chemicals route and for power generation with carbon dioxide separation for sequestration calls for new, innovative processes. Lurgi took up this challenge to fundamentally improve syngas production technology and decided to build a multi process demonstration unit for syngas production technologies. This project is jointly pursued ...

This paper presents the solution of environmental/ economic dispatch (EED) problem by using a multiobjective bees algorithm (MBA) with clustering technique. EED problem is to minimize simultaneously the total fuel cost and environmental pollution of generation while satisfying various constrains. The MBA is modified from Bees Algorithm in order to solve EED problem through compromised fuzzy and...
