    Paramjeet Kaur1, Krishna Teerth Chaturvedi1, Mohan Lal Kolhe2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.3, pp. 557-579, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.043159

    Abstract In the increasingly decentralized energy environment, economical power dispatching from distributed generations (DGs) is crucial to minimizing operating costs, optimizing resource utilization, and guaranteeing a consistent and sustainable supply of electricity. A comprehensive review of optimization techniques for economic power dispatching from distributed generations is imperative to identify the most effective strategies for minimizing operational costs while maintaining grid stability and sustainability. The choice of optimization technique for economic power dispatching from DGs depends on a number of factors, such as the size and complexity of the power system, the availability of computational resources, and the specific requirements of the… More >

    A Hybrid Model for Improving Software Cost Estimation in Global Software Development

    Mehmood Ahmed1,3,*, Noraini B. Ibrahim1, Wasif Nisar2, Adeel Ahmed3, Muhammad Junaid3,*, Emmanuel Soriano Flores4, Divya Anand4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 1399-1422, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046648

    Abstract Accurate software cost estimation in Global Software Development (GSD) remains challenging due to reliance on historical data and expert judgments. Traditional models, such as the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO II), rely heavily on historical and accurate data. In addition, expert judgment is required to set many input parameters, which can introduce subjectivity and variability in the estimation process. Consequently, there is a need to improve the current GSD models to mitigate reliance on historical data, subjectivity in expert judgment, inadequate consideration of GSD-based cost drivers and limited integration of modern technologies with cost overruns. This study introduces a novel hybrid… More >

    Optimal Location and Sizing of Multi-Resource Distributed Generator Based on Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

    Qiangfei Cao1, Huilai Wang2, Zijia Hui1, Lingyun Chen2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.2, pp. 499-521, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.042702

    Abstract Distribution generation (DG) technology based on a variety of renewable energy technologies has developed rapidly. A large number of multi-type DG are connected to the distribution network (DN), resulting in a decline in the stability of DN operation. It is urgent to find a method that can effectively connect multi-energy DG to DN. photovoltaic (PV), wind power generation (WPG), fuel cell (FC), and micro gas turbine (MGT) are considered in this paper. A multi-objective optimization model was established based on the life cycle cost (LCC) of DG, voltage quality, voltage fluctuation, system network loss, power deviation of the tie-line, DG… More >

    Reliability-Based Model for Incomplete Preventive Replacement Maintenance of Photovoltaic Power Systems

    Wei Chen, Ming Li*, Tingting Pei, Cunyu Sun, Huan Lei

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.1, pp. 125-144, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.042812

    Abstract At present, the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power generation systems mainly comprise regular maintenance, breakdown maintenance, and condition-based maintenance, which is very likely to lead to over- or under-repair of equipment. Therefore, a preventive maintenance and replacement strategy for PV power generation systems based on reliability as a constraint is proposed. First, a hybrid failure function with a decreasing service age factor and an increasing failure rate factor is introduced to describe the deterioration of PV power generation equipment, and the equipment is replaced when its reliability drops to the replacement threshold in the last cycle. Then, based on… More >

    Yanshan Lu1, Binbin He1, Jun Jiang1, Ruixiao Lin2,*, Xinzhen Zhang2, Zaimin Yang3, Zhi Rao3, Wenchuan Meng3, Siyang Sun3

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.12, pp. 2803-2818, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.042328

    Abstract To solve the problem of residual wind power in offshore wind farms, a hydrogen production system with a reasonable capacity was configured to enhance the local load of wind farms and promote the local consumption of residual wind power. By studying the mathematical model of wind power output and calculating surplus wind power, as well as considering the hydrogen production/storage characteristics of the electrolyzer and hydrogen storage tank, an innovative capacity optimization allocation model was established. The objective of the model was to achieve the lowest total net present value over the entire life cycle. The model took into account… More >

    A Low-Cost and High-Performance Cryptosystem Using Tripling-Oriented Elliptic Curve

    Mohammad Alkhatib*, Wafa S. Aldalbahy

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.2, pp. 1807-1831, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.038927

    Abstract Developing a high-performance public key cryptosystem is crucial for numerous modern security applications. The Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC) has performance and resource-saving advantages compared to other types of asymmetric ciphers. However, the sequential design implementation for ECC does not satisfy the current applications’ performance requirements. Therefore, several factors should be considered to boost the cryptosystem performance, including the coordinate system, the scalar multiplication algorithm, and the elliptic curve form. The tripling-oriented (3DIK) form is implemented in this work due to its minimal computational complexity compared to other elliptic curves forms. This experimental study explores the factors playing an important role… More >

    Journal of New Media, Vol.5, No.1, pp. 33-43, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jnm.2023.038676

    Abstract As a result of the introduction of new infectious illnesses, key infection prevention measures were implemented. Now, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic has expanded swiftly, causing the coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19). Many microorganisms spread illness via hospital surfaces due to environmental pollution. This virus has been associated to close contact between persons in tight situations such as houses, hospitals, assisted living, and residential institutions. Aside from health care settings, public buildings, faith-based community centers, marketplaces, transportation, and corporate environments are prone to COVID-19 transmission. Physical contact to the sanitizer device may cause for spread Covid virus. That’s why we have… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.1, pp. 491-513, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.038628

    Abstract Statistical distributions are used to model wind speed, and the two-parameters Weibull distribution has proven its effectiveness at characterizing wind speed. Accurate estimation of Weibull parameters, the scale (c) and shape (k), is crucial in describing the actual wind speed data and evaluating the wind energy potential. Therefore, this study compares the most common conventional numerical (CN) estimation methods and the recent intelligent optimization algorithms (IOA) to show how precise estimation of c and k affects the wind energy resource assessments. In addition, this study conducts technical and economic feasibility studies for five sites in the northern part of Saudi… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.1, pp. 809-822, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.035827

    Abstract The widespread penetration of distributed energy sources and the use of load response programs, especially in a microgrid, have caused many power system issues, such as control and operation of these networks, to be affected. The control and operation of many small-distributed generation units with different performance characteristics create another challenge for the safe and efficient operation of the microgrid. In this paper, the optimum operation of distributed generation resources and heat and power storage in a microgrid, was performed based on real-time pricing through the proposed gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to reduce the energy supply cost with the… More >
