This paper presents the numerical results of the comparative and sensitive analysis for different parabolic trough solar collector (PTC) systems under different operating conditions, expecting to optimize the PTC system of better comprehensive characteristics and optical performance or to...

A traveling-wave thermoacoustic electric generator, which is composed of a traveling wave thermoacoustic engine and linear alternators, is promising in solar power generation and energy recovery due to its high efficiency, high reliability, and capability of utilizing low-grade heat. An...

In this study, an interval-parameter minimax regret programming (IMRP) method is developed for supporting the power management systems planning under uncertainty. This method incorporates techniques of interval linear programming (ILP) and minimax regret programming (MRP) within a general...
