The main goal of this paper is to structurally analyze impact of DSM programs on reliability indices. A new approach is presented to structurally decompose reliability index Expected Energy Not Supplied (EENS) by using Monte Carlo simulation. EENS is decomposed into two terms. The first term indicates EENS which is caused by generation contingencies. The second term indicates EENS which is caus...

Installed capacity markets in the northeast of the United States ensure that adequate generation exists to satisfy regional loss of load probability (LOLP) criterion. LOLP studies are conducted to determine the amount of capacity that is needed, but they do not consider several factors that substantially affect the calculated distribution of available capacity. These studies do not account for ...

Cervical cancer is a major cause of morbidity in women worldwide and chemotherapy for this cancer seems unsatisfactory, which demands exploring new therapeutic options. The seeds and oil from Nigella sativa have been reputed to have many curative properties in traditional medicine. Utilizing different techniques (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ladderi...

An electric utility’s main concern is to plan, design, operate and maintain its power supply to provide an acceptable level of reliability to its users. This clearly requires that standards of reliability be specified and used in all three sectors of the power system, i.e., generation, transmission and distribution. That is why reliability of a power system is always a major concern to power sy...

This work deals with assessing the reliability of wind energy sources incorporated into a microgrid system to increase grid stability. As share power generated from continues due environmental concerns and reduce carbon footprints, case study proposed is designing an effective for smart building environment burden on grid. Incorporating systems grid-connected buildings increases environments. A...
