Multi-objective Fuel Supply for Coal-fired Power Plants Under Emission Transportation and Operational Constraints
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013)
Coal-fired power plants need to decrease their generation cost in deregulated power markets so as to be selected dispatched and compete with other cheaper resources. On the other hand coal prices have risen significantly ...
Agent-based Optimization to Estimate Nash Equilibrium in Power Markets
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013)
In most deregulated power markets firms bid daily into a day-ahead power market. The auction mechanism supply and demand determine the equilibrium at each hour. In this environment firms aim to maximize their revenues by ...
A fuzzy QFD approach to determine supply chain management strategies in the dairy industry
(Springer, 2013)
The aim of this study is to identify the crucial logistics requirements and supply chain management (SCM) strategies for the dairy industry. For product or service development quality function deployment (QFD) is a useful ...
A Numerical Study of Shallow Mixing Development over Flat Surface and Dunes
(TSINGHUA UNIV, 2013)
Results of a high resolution Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) are used to characterize the evolution of a shallow mixing layer developing between two parallel streams in a long open channel with a smooth flat bed and dunes. ...
A MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CRITICAL POINT IN PHASE TRANSITIONS
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2013)
Let y(x) be a smooth sigmoidal curve, y((n)) be its nth derivative and {x(m,i)} and {x(a,i)}, i = 1, 2, ... , be the set of points where respectively the derivatives of odd and even order reach their extreme values. We ...
