Energy hub is a concept relates various energy carriers which has been expanded in recent years. Operation of energy hub is often attended with uncertainties. Therefore, this paper presents a linear model based on information gap decision theory (IGDT) to solve the energy hub problem. This approach can consider plenty of uncertainties, simultaneously. Energy hub under study includes a combined ...

By the recent growing of global trend for decentralized power generation via natural gas, the interest in joint operation of several energy carriers has substantially increased. The most significant concept in this regard is the "Energy Hub", which in this paper is employed to supply electrical and heat demands via electricity and natural gas carriers. Transformers, furnaces, combined...

among the low–dimensional allotropes of carbon, nanotubes and graphene have attracted very much attention from nano–science and nanotechnology specialists. they have been proposed as building blocks in nanometer device engineering. however, these structures are not defect–free. in this thesis, we focused on defective carbon nanotubes and graphene, and studied the effect of couple of very common...

In the real world, many goods and services are practically not produced under the conditions of full competition, and most public utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephone are operated under monopoly conditions, among which the electricity industry has a special place regarding the price of energy carriers in the country, subsidies from the government, limitation of fossil resour...
