We develop a novel time continuous Stackelberg game to model the interaction of costumers and aggregators in electricity markets. It features dependent pricing policies that aim align consumption with its availability. Furthermore has special potential scalability respect amount costumers. illustrate fact aggregator can create an incentive costumer is then changing behavior.

In this paper we address an order processing optimization problem known as the Minimization of Open Stacks Problem (MOSP). This problem consists in finding the best sequence for manufacturing the different products required by costumers, in a setting where only one product can be made at a time. The objective is to minimize the maximum number of incomplete orders from costumers that are being p...

OBJECTIVES To validate an instrument to assess quality of mobile emergency pre-hospital care. METHOD A methodological study where 20 professionals gave their opinions on the items of the proposed instrument. The analysis was performed using Kappa test (K) and Content Validity Index (CVI), considering K> 0.80 and CVI ≥ 0.80. RESULTS Three items were excluded from the instrument: Professional...

BACKGROUND There are different street substance users' communities (SSUCs). Typology of SSUCs in Tehran, Iran was approached in this qualitative study. METHODS Using content analysis and saturation principles, 22 street-outreach workers were recruited and interviewed. Data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. FINDINGS Three types of SSUCs were identified. SSUCs were differ...

In this paper we address an order processing optimization problem known as minimization of open stacks (MOSP). We present an integer programming model, based on the existence of a perfect elimination scheme in interval graphs, which finds an optimal sequence for the costumers orders.

In order to form a collaborative operation between village power grid and the end users, two-stage management strategy is proposed where residential photovoltaic systems have been linked distribution network in rural area. At stage one, regulation method considering active reactive formed with purpose of maintaining within security domain operation; at two, maximize benefits both its costumers,...

This paper discusses the use of distributed generation (DG) for improving the supply reliability in distribution systems. The first part of the paper contains the results of a simple analytical study of the reliability for individual customers with distributed generation on-site. The difference between disconnector-type interfaces and breaker-type interface is emphasised. In the second part of ...
