conclusions emergency medical services should be considered as a system with its independent components. establishing an independent ems organization, integrating pre-hospital and hospital emergency under single supervision and management, as well as, extending the possibility of providing ems through private sector are essential in order to make fundamental reforms in providing emergency medic...

It is challenging to assess the vulnerability of a cyber-physical power system to data attacks. In order to support vulnerability assessment, with the exception of analytic methods, a suitable platform for security tests needs to be developed. In this paper we analyze the cyber security of energy management system (EMS) against data attacks. First we extend our analytic framework that character...

This paper presents results of empirical studies that were conducted in enterprises from Podkarpackie Voivodeship (Poland). It shows the experiences of those enterprises resulting from implementing and improving the eco-innovativeness management that is formal Environmental Management System (EMS). This study shows the expected and obtained internal benefits which are the effects of a functioni...

The need and ability of an organisation to manage and control its impact on the environment has been hotly debated in recent times. However, the uptake of certificated environmental management systems (EMS), specifically BS EN ISO 14001 (ISO 14001) (British Standards Institution, 2004), is becoming more prevalent, even though evidence of the individual benefits is less clear. Furthermore, repor...

Microgrids have become an alternative for integrating distributed generation to supply energy isolated communities, so their control and optimal management are important. This research designs simulates the three levels of a DC microgrid operating in mode proposes Energy Management System (EMS) based on Model Predictive Control (MPC), with real-time measurement feedback dispatch, which ensures ...

Community Microgrid offers effective energy harvesting from distributed resources and efficient consumption by employing an management system (EMS). Therefore, the collaborative microgrids are essentially required to apply EMS, underlying operative control strategy in order provide system. An EMS is apt optimize operation of several points view. Optimal production planning, optimal demand-side ...

The Common Information Model (CIM) defines a utility industry standard object-model for the development and integration of applications used for electric power systems engineering, planning, management, operation and commerce. This paper addresses the following questions: • Why was it developed? • What does it model? How is it defined? • What is the impact on software developers? • Who is using...

An energy management strategy (EMS) is important for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) since it plays a decisive role on the performance of the vehicle. However, the variation of future driving conditions deeply influences the effectiveness of the EMS. Most existing EMS methods simply follow predefined rules that are not adaptive to different driving conditions online. Therefore, it is useful tha...
