This paper presents the impact assessment of distributed generations (DGs) (such as T2 and T4 i.e operating at different power factors such as 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 and 0.99 leading and lagging, respectively) and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controllers like SVC with...

Proper well management requires the determination of characteristic hydraulic parameters of production wells such as well loss coefficient (C) and aquifer loss coefficient (B), which are conventionally determined by the graphical analysis ofstep-drawdowntest data. However, in the present study,...

Biomass gasification based building cooling, heating, and power (BCHP) system is an effective way of increasing and improving the use of biomass resources and distributed generation. The key step in designing a BCHP plant is to determine the best configuration in terms of the integrated...

The difficulty in gas price forecasting has attracted much attention of academic researchers and business practitioners. Various methods have been tried to solve the problem of forecasting gas prices however, all of the existing models of prediction cannot meet practical needs. In this paper, a...

The difficulty in gasoline price forecasting has attracted much attention of academic researchers and business practitioners. Various methods have been tried to solve the problem of forecasting gasoline prices however, all of the existing models of prediction cannot meet practical needs. In this...

Due to the PV module simulation requirements as well as recent applications of model-based controllers, the accurate photovoltaic (PV) model identification method is becoming essential to reduce the PV power losses effectively. The classical PV model identification methods use the manufacturers...

The study presents the use of genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the bipolar plate channel geometry of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Contrary to previous optimization techniques, laborious fuel cell design steps, including boundary setting, mesh generation, and numerical...
