The hierarchical hub location problem is encountered three-level network that is applied in production-distribution system, education system, emergency medical services, telecommunication network, etc. This paper addresses the hierarchical hub covering problem with single assignment accounting for mandatory dispersion of central hubs restriction as a special case. This formulation with incorpor...

In an energy hub, each energy carrier can be converted to other forms of energy to meet electricity, heating and cooling power demand in an optimal manner. In this study, a framework is presented to optimally design and size interconnected energy hubs. It considers physical constraints on natural gas and electricity networks and environmental issues. The proposed design methodology decides on w...

This paper presents a new method for optimizing the hub height of a wind turbine. In general, wind turbine energy production increases with the hub height, but so does the cost. Therefore, we must optimize the hub height. Here, we calculated the annual energy production using a wind probability function. This is a function of the hub height and the roughness, which is a surface characteristic. ...

Different renewable energy resources and demands between parks lead to waste of frequent interactions the regional distribution grid larger grid. Hence, an optimal dispatching scheme integrated system group (RIESG), which combines power-to-gas (P2G) inter-park electric mutual aid, is proposed in this paper solve problem. Firstly, for park (PIES) with various structures, coupling matrix used des...

A p-hub center network design problem is definition of some nodes as hubs and allocation of non-hub nodes to them wherein the maximum travel times between any pair of nodes is minimized. The distinctive feature of this study is proposing a new mathematical formulation for modeling costs in a p-hub center problem. Here, instead of considering costs as a linear function of distance, for the first...
