rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

Under the smart grid environment, demand response resources (DRRs) are introduced as a virtual power plant to enhance power system adequacy. DRRs often fail to reduce their load due to some external factors. In this paper, a reliability model of a DRR is constructed as multi-state conventional generation units, where the probability, frequency of occurrence, and departure rate of each state can...

Demand-response management is an approach that includes the power demand side into the power management process to reshape power demand of consumers to the current availability of power. Data centres are major energy consumers that are highly interesting for demandresponse management. However, in contrast to many other energy consumers, data centres have a highly dynamic flexibility in terms of...

pharmacy as the last unit in the pharmaceutical supply chain is responsible for supplying and dispensing medicines to the patients and giving required advices to them, based on their needs and physician’s prescriptions according to standard protocols of the country. beside this responsibility, which is primarily on drugstores, this unit is regarded as a small business unit and should have econo...

The optimal management of distributed generation (DG) enhances the efficiency of the distribution system; On the other hand, increasing the interest of customers in optimizing their consumption improves the performance of DG. This act is called demand side management. In this study, a new method based on the intelligent algorithm is proposed to optimal operate the demand side management in the ...
