Using electric vehicles, in addition to decreasing the environmental concerns, can play an important role in decreasing the peak and filling the off-peaks of the daily load characteristics. In other words, in smart grids' infrastructure, the load characteristics can be improved by scheduling the charge and discharge process of electric vehicles. In smart grids, the customers are instantaneously...

In this paper, we propose a model and algorithms to solve a load balancing problem on a printed circuit board assembly line. On this line of two identical machines, the problem of allocation of component types to machines is analyzed in detail. Twenty eight dispatching rules are developed and extensive computational experimentation is performed. It has been observed that the imbalance per board...

In order to increase the overall performance of distributed parallel programs running in a network of non-dedicated workstations, we have researched methods for improving load balancing in loosely coupled heterogeneous distributed systems. Current software designed to handle distributed applications does not focus on the problem of forecasting the computers future load. The software only dispat...

Electric boilers (EBs) provide an alternative method to deal with the accommodation of curtailed wind power. To pursue minimum coal consumption in system, a dispatching model integrating combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants and EBs different locations is developed, penalty power curtailment cost EB employment are also incorporated model. The transmission loss transportation lag heat-supply netw...

Currently, electric taxis have been deployed in many cities of China. However, the charging unbalance in both temporal and spatial scale has become a rising problem, which leads to low charging efficiency or charging congestion in different stations or time periods. This paper presents a multi-objective coordinated charging strategy for electric taxis in the temporal and spatial scale. That is,...

The chapter considers promising directions for the construction of new systems regulating generating capacities nuclear, as well solar and wind power plants, which are able to improve processes managing load regime unified energy system Ukraine.Conducted studies have shown that with implementation systems, there is a real opportunity reduce or even abandon traditional too expensive means maneuv...

background: one of the methods used for joining metals together is welding, which can be carried out using different techniques such as electric spot welding. this study evaluated the effect of electric spot welding on the load defl ection rate of stainless steel and chromium-cobalt orthodontic wires. materials and methods: in this experimental-laboratory study, load defl ection rate of 0.016 ×...
