due to the increasing cost and environmental impacts of fossil fuel consumption, using the renewable energies in data center has become an important and essential priority. although using renewable energies has less environmental harmful effects, but the high investment needed for their installations as well as their fluctuating power production characteristic, restricts their usage such that m...

the new competitive environment changes the paradigm of power system operation. in the transmission area, open access process provides fair accessibility for all market participants. congestion management is one of the most important side effects of this new process. this paper proposes a new approach for congestion management which is based on both active and reactive re-dispatch of the networ...

Spectrum scarcity is a major challenge in wireless communications systems requiring efficient usage and utilization. Cognitive radio network (CRN) is found as a promising technique to solve this problem of spectrum scarcity. It allows licensed and unlicensed users to share the same licensed spectrum band. Interference resulting from cognitive radios (CRs) has undesirable effects on quality of s...

The fundamental component of resource management in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is transmitter power control since the sensors are miniature battery powered devices. Power control is an important research trend in WSNs for improving the efficiency of network communication and prolonging the life time of the network thereby supporting system quality and efficiency. This paper analyses a game t...

In this thesis, we propose a framework for designing decentralized pricing and centralized auction mechanisms in the presence and absence of malicious users. First, we design pricing mechanism for efficient power allocation in the uplink of a single cell Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system with strategic and price taking users. The mechanism is extended to sum power con...

Smart home, which controls the end use of the power grid, has become a critical component in the smart grid infrastructure. In a smart home system, the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is used to connect smart meters with the power system and the communication system of a smart grid. The electricity pricing information is transmitted from the utility to the local community, and then broad...

In this paper we consider distributed power control in a multicell wireless data system and study the effect of pricing transmit power. Drawing on our earlier work in [1], we formulate the QoS of a data user via a utility function measured in bits per Joule. We consider distributed power control, modeled as a non-cooperative game, where users maximize their utilities in a multicell system. Base...

We address the problem of pricing contingent claims written on electricity. The special feature of this paper is to consider contract pricing within a market for power producing plants. Calculating equilibrium prices for this market, we obtain a valuation for electricity contingent claims which is fair in the sense that arbitrage is excluded for capacity and claim trading.
