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 ...
Efficient approaches for furnace loading of cylindrical parts
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2014)
This paper addresses the heat treatment operation in a manufacturing plant that produces different types of cylindrical parts. The immediate prior process to heat treatment is furnace-loading where parts are loaded into ...
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 ...
An integrated approach to concept evaluation in a new product development
(Springer, 2016)
A new product development (NPD) process can be thought as a comprehensive process in which the design is progressively detailed through a series of phases. At the end of each phase a design review is held to approve the ...
An intelligent approach to supplier evaluation in automotive sector
(Springer, 2016)
During the process of supplier evaluation selecting the best desirable supplier is one of the most critical problems of companies since improperly selected suppliers may cause losing time cost and market share of a company. ...
Analytic Network Process (ANP) for solar power plant location problem
(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2010)
Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy and one of the most important sources of the renewable energy because it is non-polluting and helps in lessening the greenhouse effect. Main problem of establishing ...
Conformal and generalized concircular mappings of Einstein-Weyl manifolds
(2010)
In this article after giving a necessary and sufficient condition for two Einstein-Weyl manifolds to be in conformal correspondence we prove that any conformal mapping between such manifolds is generalized concircular if ...
