With the increasing penetration of electric-based system to enhance the urban lifestyle, the demand on the city grid is increasing. To compensate the increasing demand on the grid, electricity generation needs to raise. As most of the generations are fossil fuel based conventional power plants...

High demand for photovoltaic (PV), battery, and small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) technologies are driving a virtuous cycle of technological improvements and cost reductions in off grid electric systems that increasingly compete with the grid market. Using a case study in the Upper...

Energy security is the triggering factor for a developing country. Thus, for ensuring energy security renewable energy such as PV plant could be a best alternative. This study deals with the performance analysis of 80 KWp grid-connected solar power plant in Dhaka. This study presents a solar...

A divide and conquer algorithm for exploiting policy function monotonicity is proposed and analyzed. To solve a discrete problem with n states and n choices, the algorithm requires at most nlog2(n)+5n objective function evaluations. In contrast, existing methods for nonconcave problems require...

This paper examines two new methods to generate gridded agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and compares the results with a traditional method. In the case of Brazil, these two new methods of spatial disaggregation and cross-entropy outperform the prediction of agricultural GDP from the...

"This book both demonstrates how ROI is a critical tool for strategic planning and outlines the process for determining ROI. It offers presidents and senior administrators, faculty engaged in shared governance, online learning administrators, and stakeholders representing student, community and...
