This paper aims to determine the optimum price of electricity during restructuring process. We maximized social welfare function subject to market equilibrium, maximum production capacity of each group of power plants, maximum demand of each consumer type and the potential of electricity export and import. The model was run using 2007 monthly and annual data by means of GAMS optimization softwa...

This paper presents a complete nonlinear model for a wind turbine system with a variable speed cage machine generator, firstly. Then a primary controller which is named “reference signal generator” will be designed to lead system to optimum operating condition at various wind speeds. Regulating terminal voltage of generator, increasing generator efficiency and maximum power tracking...

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Parameters estimation of dynamic model of synchronous generators is an essential prerequisite for viable and reliable power system operation and offline studies. Advent of phasor measurement units (PMU) and its growing applications in power systems have led to an evolution in the electric power network wide-area monitoring, protection, and control. Alongside, these devices have revealed unprece...

In this paper, the feasibility of using heat energy of steam turbine combined cycle power plant as the energy required to start up desalination systems has been studied. The optimal model of combined cycle power plant equipped with a multi-effect desalination plants in different design modes of the effects of desalination and steam pressure of the steam turbine output has been evaluated. In ord...
