â â â  â â  the paper uses economic and energy data analysis and econometric modeling to study the prospects and challenges of korea’s 2003 fta roadmap (mofat 2013) in the form of potential comprehensive partnerships with its major trade and energy partners. it first reviews korea’s international economic and trade relations in recent years with a focus on its major merchandise export desti...

Recent work has demonstrated the Bennett acceptance ratio method is the best asymptotically unbiased method for determining the equilibrium free energy between two end states given work distributions collected from either equilibrium and nonequilibrium data. However, it is still not clear what the practical advantage of this acceptance ratio method is over other common methods in atomistic simu...

The aim of thermodynamic integration is to compute the difference in a thermodynamic property (usually the free energy) of the system between some reference state and the state of interest. To measure the free energy change from initial to final state, thermodynamic parameters characterizing the system are changed infinitely slowly so that at each stage along the path the system is in equilibri...

In this paper, a two-stage model of an integrated energy demand response is proposed, and the quantitative relationship between two main concerns investors, i.e., investment return cycle response, verified by experimental data. Energy storage technology key means through which to deal with instability modern sources. One development paths in electricity market merchants power plants distributio...

Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation. In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary. Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are known as two powerful flexible tools that ca...

at many circumstances, in heat exchange processes several exchangers were used with different cost laws due to their pressure ratings, materials of construction and exchange3r types. in such circumstances traditional methods of pinch technology can not be led to minimum total annual cost may cause some other disadvantages like more complexity or higher maintenance. in this research work a new a...

The proper application of a shadow model during the integration of orbit trajectories requires that the solar radiation pressure be sampled adequately during transitions between lighting conditions. An integration scheme is presented in which the lighting condition is held constant across steps of a primary integrator. If the lighting condition changes during that step, then an Encke-like integ...
