This paper presents an energy management strategy to supply residential load by hybrid fuel cell power plant (FCPP). Economical fuel cell (FC) model includes thermal load, local electrical load, operational cost, startup cost and different tariffs on electricity during the day hour is discussed.  Several Strategies have been presented for supplying residential load (electrical and thermal loads...

In the present study, ten steel-moment resisting frames (SMRFs) having different numbers of stories ranging from 3 to 20 stories and fundamental periods of vibration ranging from 0.3 to 3.0 second were optimized subjected to a set of earthquake ground motions using the concept of uniform damage distribution along the height of the structures. Based on the step-by-step optimization algorithm dev...

Design pattern formalization is aimed at encouraging the use of design patterns during the design phase. Many approaches focuses on providing solutions with a graphical notation and complementary text, typically composed by a static and a dynamic definitions. The weak point is the lack of flexibility when customizing the generic solution to the specific context of use. This paper proposes a cri...

This paper contributes to theory development concerning the organizational design of information technology (IT). It critically discusses the question of “organizational impact of information technology (IT)” from a design perspective. In this paper, the research question is debated against the background of current dealings with the organizational impacts of e-business or the internet, respect...

in present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. a double active sites model for ziegler-natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with differentiall...

Distributed content-based publish/subscribe systems to date suffer from performance degradation and poor scalability caused by uneven load distributions typical in real-world applications. The reason for this shortcoming is due to the lack of a load balancing solution, which have rarely been studied in the context of publish/subscribe. This paper proposes a load balancing solution specific to d...
