This paper proposes an innovative way of making a decision to island (or synchronize) distributed generators when operating conditions of a distribution system are varied. Islanding decisions are made when a network undergoes disturbances. In this approach, there is a decision-making mechanism,...

It is generally recognised that the primary tools being utilised today for hydrogen energy forecasting and policy development take a least-cost approach. While useful for comparing the viability of different technologies from a cost perspective, it is argued that these models fail to capture the...

The authors propose a novel model for forecasting the deployment of hydrogen energy systems based on a company value maximisation algorithm, designed to assist governments and other industry players in decision-making and the development of appropriate policy instruments. Current...

We propose a dynamic mobility management framework for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and policy enforcement enabled heterogenous wireless networks. Policies and policy rules are defined depending on network infrastructure facilities, service agreements and negotiation results. Each traffic...

Dynamic models present a fundamental tool in systems biology, but rely on kinetic parameters, such as association and dissociation constants. Their direct estimation from studies on isolated reactions is usually expensive, time-consuming or even infeasible for large models. As a consequence,...

This paper focuses on dispatching of mixed generation portfolio of renewable energy (RE) and non-RE (firm) units. A genetic algorithm (GA) based rolling window approach is developed for solving economic dispatch (ED) problem. Profit maximisation ED problem is formulated and solved which also...

The paper proposes a unit commitment problem formulation which models combined pool/bilateral operation as well as effects of emissions constraints and emissions trading mechanisms. In here proposed model, power outputs of generators are, on one hand, bounded by their bilateral contract...

This paper and the presentation will compare emissions trading scheme in the European Union and the recently established Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the US, looking at their similarities and differences, as well as results that are available so far. In addition, the paper investigates...

The challenges faced by modern agriculture have never been greater. With feedstock and labour prices increasing and constant pressure from retailers to keep food prices low, profit margins are at a point where farmers cannot grow their business to longer-term economically viable sizes. Recent...

This paper explores a new measure, based on the copula density functions, for image registration, especially for the multimodal image registration. The measure relies on determining the mutual information between images taken at different times from different viewpoints or by different sensors....
