This paper presents the modeling, simulation and control strategy of a hybrid power system (HPS) integrating a wind energy conversion system (WECS), a solar photovoltaic system (SPV) and a biodiesel generator (BDG) as well as a storage battery designed to ensure power reliability under all various weather conditions. The model includes wind turbine, photovoltaic panels, permanent magnet synchronous...
Retail electricity markets are critical in assuring that final customers receive the full benefits of competition in wholesale electricity markets. Retailers act as a service interface between the energy market and customers. In this paper, a comprehensive methodology to solve the problem that retailers face in an electricity energy market, including risk management, is proposed. The methodology consist...
We address the problem of estimating the path loss factor and its integration in RSS-based localization algorithms with wireless sensor networks. We propose an algorithm that relies on a stochastic characterization of the uncertainties in the propagation model. Due to that the path loss factor is unknown and the localization is only based on RSS measurements whose distances from the beacons to the...
This project involves asking three sets of engineering management students to develop group projects integrating simulation and optimization in different ways and assessing their absolute and relative educational effectiveness. These approaches are: a) Ask students to repeatedly simulate, using a conventional simulation tool, Witness?? in this case, a system whose design criteria are modified according...
In this paper we consider the structural analysis problem for differential-algebraic systems with conditional equations. This problem consists, given a conditional differential algebraic system, in verifying if the system is well-constrained for every state, and if not to find a state in which the system is bad-constrained. We give a formulation for this problem as an integer linear program. This...
Modelling and algorithmic aspects of process simulation for submicron technologies are addressed, with a special emphasis on multi-dimensional and multilayer applications. A bibliography is attached, which is quite exhaustive over the last three years period.
