Nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. In this paper, a new method i.e. Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. In order to investigate the eff...

Pricing multi-interval economic dispatch of electric power under operational uncertainty is considered in this two-part paper. Part I investigates dispatch-following incentives profit-maximizing generators and shows that, mild conditions, no uniform-pricing scheme for the rolling-window provides that avoid discriminative out-of-the-market uplifts. A nonuniform pricing mechanism, referred to as ...

Systems The first speaker was Colonel Peter Kovats, United States Air Force, Chief of Aerospace Medicine at RAF Lakenheath UK. He spoke on Aeromedical Evacuation – ‘from point of wounding all the way home’. Colonel Kovats gave an extensive review of intra/inter-theatre air-evacuation and discussed 7656 patients injured in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2010. 15% were military coalition casualtie...

INTRODUCTION In rural Minnesota, it is common for paramedics providing advanced life support (ALS) to rendezvous with ambulances providing only basic life support (BLS). These "intercepts" presumably allow for a higher level of care when patients have certain problems or need ALS interventions. The aim of this study was to review and understand the frequency of paramedic intercepts with regard ...

Traffic and Patrol Police Service Platforms in short, TPPSP in the city have been playing an important role in dealing with emergency and traffic administration. The national college mathematical modeling contest of China in 2011 proposed the problem related to the optimal dispatch of TPPSP. However, only the case without any traffic congestion is considered for the problem. It is well known th...
