Over the past years, frameworks such as MapReduce and Spark have been introduced to ease the task of developing big data programs and applications. However, the jobs in these frameworks are roughly defined and packaged as executable jars without any…
Storage system utilization provides a pivotal support for techno-economic integration of renewables. However, a precise modeling and estimation for optimal sizing of an energy storage system (ESS) combined with their optimal allocation is pertinent…
Recently, grid modernization efforts are developed to ease the realization of the transition from conventional energy systems to modern integrated energy grids. In this regard, energy hubs have been emerged as an interconnection point among different…
Combustion of fuels to produce heat or other forms of power has been the cornerstone of industrial processes. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is an alternative fuel, which is used primarily as a fuel in most spark-ignited internal combustion engines.…
Storage system utilization provides a pivotal support for techno-economic integration of renewables. However, a precise modeling and estimation for optimal sizing of an energy storage system (ESS) combined with their optimal allocation is pertinent…
An integrated energy microgrid (IEM) system consists of power, natural gas, and heat. As the interdependence among different energy utilities grows, there is an urgent need to investigate the combined economic dispatch of the IEM. This paper proposes…
Hub covering location problem focuses on the construction of the hub network. The importance of this problem has been addressed in many fields including freight transportation and telecommunication network. As a long-term strategic decision problem,…
Logistics has gained great attentions with the prosperous development of e-commerce, which is often seen as the classic optimal vehicle routing problem. Meanwhile, electric vehicle (EV) has been widely used in logistic fleet to curb the emission of…
