In order to improve the energy saving performance of cooperative communication, a novel power allocation solution, named Half Transmission Power Allocation Solution (HTPAS), is proposed in this paper. In this solution, the transmission power of the relay for forwarding the packet is half of the transmission power of the source. Based on the energy efficiency analysis, HTPAS outperforms the equa...

This study adopts a power perspective to investigate sustainable supply chain relationships and specifically uses resource-dependence theory (RDT) to critically analyze buyer–supplier–supplier relationships. Empirical evidence is provided, extending the RDT model in this context. The concept of power relationships is explored through a qualitative study of a multinational company and agricultur...

The increasing consumption of electricity over time forces different countries to establishnew power plants and transmission lines. There are various crisp single-objective mathematicalmodels in the literature for the long-term power generation and transmission expansion planning tohelp the decision makers to make more reasonable decisions. But, in practice, most of the parametersassociated wit...

Abstract: This paper proposes optimized control methods for global minimum backflow power based on a triple-phase-shift (TPS) control strategy. Three global optimized methods are derived to minimize the backflow power on the primary side, on the secondary side and on both sides, respectively. Backflow power transmission is just a portion of non-active power transmission in a dual active bridge ...

Renewable energy policies, such as the Renewable Portfolio Standard, arising from increasing environmental concerns have set very ambitious targets for wind power penetration in electric power systems throughout the world. In many cases, the geographical locations with good wind resources are not close to the main load centers. It becomes extremely important to assess adequate transmission faci...
