Compared to the conventional methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are considered to be one of the reliable tools for modeling of complex phenomena such as demand. Aim of this study is to provide a model for gasoline demand in transportation section of Tehran metropolis through multilayered perceptron neural network and using the presented model in analyzing the sensitivity of the model to ...

this paper describes a new method for the evaluation of non-utility generation impacts on preventive-corrective control of power systems. the proposed method relies on a mixed integer nonlinear optimization and is capable of recognizing the effectiveness of demand side preventive-corrective actions. a number of cases are presented to illustrate the consequences of introducing demand side action...

Economics depends on the economic scale of planning. Economists study the characteristics of the production function, while community operating management focuses on demand realization, so that loss of sales or inventory prevents cost reductions and maximizes profits. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand to realize them simultaneously, especia...
