The integration of renewable wind and pumped storage with thermal power generation allows for dispatch of wind energy by generation companies (GENCOs) interested in participation in energy and ancillary services markets. However, to realize the maximum economic profit, optimal coordination and accounting for reduction in cost for environmental emission is necessary. The goal of this study is to...

Due to the imperative need to reduce the costs of management, power and cooling in large data centers, operators multiplex several concurrent applications on each physical server of a server farm connected to a shared network attached storage. Determining and enforcing per-application resource quotas on the fly in this context poses a complex resource allocation and control problem spanning man...

The aim of this study was to analyse the qualitative composition of Gram-negative microbes, mainly of the family Enterobacteriaceae, including pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, in the albumens and yolks and on the shells of hens' eggs, depending on their source and on the temperature and duration of their storage. A total of 375 table eggs were studied, from a large-scale poultry farm, a ...

The impact of different energy storages on power systems has become more important due to the development of energy storage technologies. This paper optimizes the stochastic scheduling of a wind-based multiple energy system (MES) and evaluates the operation of the proposed system in combination with electrical and thermal demand-response programs and the three-mode CAES (TM-CAES) unit. The prop...

The application of energy storage in offshore renewable generation systems allows managing the intrinsic uncertainty of the resources and improving the utilization factor of the electrical network. Optimal storage design algorithms generally have to evaluate the behavior of the whole system thousands times before converging to the optimal solution and the reliability of the results obviously de...

Energy storage must play a part in a future world powered by intermittent low-carbon sources such as wind and solar power. It is often taken for granted that grid-scale battery storage is too expensive unless offering multiple ancillary services to the electrical grid, rather than just absorbing and later exporting renewable energy that would otherwise be curtailed. This belief is confirmed and...

In this paper, a novel method is proposed and applied to quickly calculate the capacity of energy storage for stand-alone and grid-connected wind energy systems, according to the discrete Fourier transform theory. Based on practical wind resource data and power data, which are derived from the American Wind Energy Technology Center and HOMER software separately, the energy storage capacity of a...

cover type of on–farm storages has an important role in reducing the freezing damage and respiration of beet roots in the pile. this experiment was conducted in 2006 in karaj region in order to evaluate the effects of cover types of storage on the mass and sugar losses of both topped and untopped beets. the experimental design was a split plot factorial in rcbd with three replications. the main...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of storage and temperature on egg physical quality in Hyline chickens line. A total of 150 eggs from College of Natural Resources farm were sampled for the present experiment. About 70 eggs each were stored in home refrigerator (temperature, 7.46±0.23 ˚C; relative humidity, 24.80±0.05%) and room temperature (temperature, 22.98±1.12 ˚C; relative hu...

The technique of the processor farm has become very widely used for paral lelising applications often being mentioned without reference to any source The goal of this work has been to put together a complete and rigorous un derstanding of what the technique can be used for and what is needed in order to arrive at an e ciently farmed application This paper consists of these two parts We have sho...
