The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the distribution network has plenty of advantages if their allocation and Penetration Level (PL) are done appropriately. Hence, the challenge of finding the best allocation and PL of DERs in large distribution networks is an important but intricate problem. This paper proposes a novel methodology to simultaneously determine the optimal lo...

The paper considers a two-country model of overlapping generation heterogenous economies with intergenerational transfers carried out in the form of bequest and investment in human capital. We examine in competitive equilibrium the transitory and long-run e!ects of capital markets integration. First, we explore how the regime of public education a!ects the dynamics of the integrated economy. Se...

Nowadays there is great pressure on production systems design to be developed rapidly and efficiently. For these purposes several software tools have been used – mainly for project analysis, design and validation. Nevertheless, these tools have been used with low integration levels, including absence of data coherence, and lack of layout optimization. This work deals with production systems des...

Biodiesel can be obtained from raw materials with high content of free fatty acids through supercritical processes, which allows obtaining high-quality fuel; nevertheless, such processes imply operating under pressure and temperature. On the other hand, low-cost lignocellulosic biomass converted to bioethanol. Both integrated energy flows, expecting reductions on total requirements environmenta...
