Distribution of distributed generation resources in distribution systems has several advantages, including reducing losses, improving voltage profiles, reducing pollution, and increasing system reliability. However, one of the most important points regarding the placement of these resources in distribution networks is economic issues and the return on investment and the increase in profits from...

This study presents an optimal framework for the operation of integrated energy systems using demand response programs. The main goal of integrated energy systems is to optimally supply various demands using different energy carriers such as electricity, heating, and cooling. Considering the power market price, this work investigates the effects of multiple energy storage devices and demand res...

Salop’s “Circular City” model of spatial competition is generalized to higher dimensions, and to “transportation” costs which are a power of distance. Assuming free entry, mill pricing is compared to location-based price discrimination. For dimensions above one, there is some too little entry below some cutoff power, and too much entry above it. This cutoff cost-power rises with dimension, and ...

This paper studies pricing decisions and service decisions of a product in a dual-channel (i.e., the traditional retail channel and direct online channel) supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. We consider two types of channel pricing decisions (i.e., consistent pricing and inconsistent pricing) in the scenario which the manufacturer holds more bargaining power than the r...

Recently, the widespread use of power system controllers, such as PSS and FACTS controllers, has led to the analysis of their effect on the overall stability of power systems. Many studies have been conducted to allocate FACTS controllers so that they achieve optimal power flow conditions in the context of Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analysis. However, these studies usually do not examine the effe...

We consider the minimization of transmit power subject to rate-demand and resource constraints of a cognitive radio (CR) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) network under the framework of a noncooperative game. With spatial multiplexing over each frequency band, a multi-antenna node controls its antenna radiation directions and allocates power for each data stream by appropriately adjusting its pre...

Recently there has been a signi"cant decline in the degree to which "rms &pass through' changes in costs to prices, a decline that is frequently characterized as a reduction in the &pricing power' of "rms. The decline appears to be associated with the decline in in#ation in many countries. The decline has important implications for monetary policy because it a!ects both forecasts of in#ation an...

Transmission loss allocation in very large networks with multiple interconnected areas or countries is investigated in this paper. The main contribution is to propose a method to calculate the amount of losses due to activity of each participant in the multi area markets. Pricing of cross-border trades in Multi area systems is often difficult since individual countries may use incompatible ...
