Multi-objective energy management of CHP (combined heat and power)-based micro-grid

Motevasel, Mehdi; Seifi, Ali Reza; Niknam, Taher - In: Energy 51 (2013) C, pp. 123-136

In this paper, an IEMS (intelligent energy management system) is proposed for optimal operation of a CHP-based micro-grid over a 24-hour time interval. The IEMS aims to find the optimal set points of DERs (distributed energy resources) and thermal and electrical storage systems, in such a way...

Design of a Pumping Main Considering Pipeline Failure

Swamee, Prabhata; Sharma, Ashok - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 1, pp. 199-207

Cost and reliability are two diametrically opposite objectives in a pumping main design as the objective of an uninterrupted supply of water will increase the system cost. In this investigation, a methodology for pumping main design is presented by considering the costs of pumping main and...
