Abstract: This paper considers the contribution of independent owners (IOs) operating within microgrids (MGs) toward green power generation in deregulated energy markets. An optimization scheme is introduced for sizing distributed renewable generation (DRG) and a distributed energy storage system (DESS) based on a novel energy management system (EMS) that accounts for demand response (DR), DESS...

A microgrid energy management system (EMS) with several generation and storage units is crucial in attaining stable reliable operation. Optimal scheduling of resources EMS becomes arduous due to uncertainty the forecasting intermittent renewable sources, electricity pricing, load demand. However, demand response (DR) approaches operational benefits framework can be maximized. In order improve c...

The increasing need to slow down climate change for environmental protection demands further advancements toward regenerative energy and sustainable mobility. While individual mobility applications are assumed be satisfied with improving battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the growing sector of freight transport heavy-duty requires alternative solutions meet requirements long ranges high payloads...

Environmental issues have received considerable attention in the literature over the past few years; consider, for example, Burrit (2004), Hopwood (2009), Hubbard (2009), Masanet-Llodra (2006), and Schaltegger and Wagner (2006), to name but a few. Several factors have motivated companies to investigate and improve environmental performance (Länsiluoto&Järvenpää, 2008). Stakeholders, such as cus...

Universities can nowadays be regarded as ‘small cities’ due to their large size, population, and the various complex activities taking place in campuses, which have some serious direct and indirect impacts on the environment. The environmental pollution and degradation caused by universities in form of energy and material consumption via activities and operations in teaching and research, provi...

For some years now, Moroccan industrial companies have begun to integrate the environment into their management and set up an environmental system, in compliance with international standards, order meet requirements of stakeholders. The fact remains that this tool has enabled control impact activity on by promoting manufacturing excellence. On a sample twenty-two large response rate 55%, we con...

INTRODUCTION Workplace attitude, beliefs, and culture may impact the safety of patient care. This study characterized perceptions of safety culture in a nationwide sample of emergency medical services (EMS) agencies. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 61 advanced life support EMS agencies in North America. We administered a modified version of the Safety Attitudes Questio...

Microgrids have become an alternative for integrating distributed generation to supply energy isolated communities, so their control and optimal management are important. This research designs simulates the three levels of a DC microgrid operating in mode proposes Energy Management System (EMS) based on Model Predictive Control (MPC), with real-time measurement feedback dispatch, which ensures ...
