in this paper, the application of neural networks for simulation and optimization of the cogeneration systems has been presented. cgam problem, a benchmark in cogeneration systems, is chosen as a casestudy. thermodynamic model includes precise modeling of the whole plant. for simulation of the steadysate behavior, the static neural network is applied. then using dynamic neural network, plant is...

in the near future the use of distributed generation systems will play a big role in the production ofelectrical energy. one of the most common types of dg technologies , fuel cells , which can be connectedto the national grid by power electronic converters or work alone studies the dynamic behavior andstability of the power grid is of crucial importance. these studies need to know the exact mo...

abstract prediction of input flow into water resources is regarded as one of the most important issues in optimum planning and management in producing electro-water energy and optimum allocation of water into different consumption sources. different parameters affect on input discharge into dams. climate variables including temperature and rainfall have the most effect on input runoff rate to w...

production of highly viscous tar sand bitumen using steam assisted gravity drainage (sagd) with a pair of horizontal wells has advantages over conventional steam flooding. this paper explores the use of artificial neural networks (anns) as an alternative to the traditional sagd simulation approach. feed forward, multi-layered neural network meta-models are trained through the back-error-propaga...

abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...

many efforts have been made to model the the hot deformation (dynamic recrystallization) flow curves of different materials. phenomenological constitutive models, physical-based constitutive models and artificial neural network (ann) models are the main methods used for this purpose. however, there is no report on the modeling of warm deformation (dynamic spheroidization) flow curves of any kin...

modelling and forecasting stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. this nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. using an artificial neural network (ann) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

in this study, a low-cost, rapid and qualitative evaluation procedure is presented using dynamic pattern recognition analysis to assess liquefaction potential which is useful in the planning, zoning, general hazard assessment, and delineation of areas, dynamic pattern recognition using neural networks is generally considered to be an effective tool for assessing of hazard potential on the basis...
