The power generation cycle functions as a Kalina cycle and an absorption refrigeration cycle is combined with it as a bottoming cycle. LHECUS is designed to utilize the waste heat from industry to produce cooling and power simultaneously. The refrigeration effect can be either transported to end-use sectors by means of a solution transportation absorption chiller (STA) as solution concentration difference or stored for demand load leveling. This paper shows a simulation of the LHECUS cycle. A computer model was written to balance the cycle and key parameters for optimizing the cycle were identified. r

In such absorption systems, it is desirable to utilize the waste heat from industries for heating and cooling applications in commercial and residential sectors. For this purpose, it is necessary to transport energy over some distance because the waste heat source and demand are generally located apart from each other. Transportation of steam, hot water or chilled water requires high construction costs for insulation. There is an efficient method of energy transportation using absorption system called “ Solution Transportation Absorption System (STA)”. The solution is transported at an ambient temperature so that tube-insulations not required. This paper shows the simulation of the abovementioned system and the optimal result, using mathematical optimization. The optimum system with industry‧s waste heat utilization is obtained. At the end, the effect on the pollution emission and energy conservation is obtained.

However, Alberta has a wide combination of fossil and renewable based generation technologies, from coal to natural gas and other renewable sources such as wind energy. In this study, British Columbia and Alberta electricity grid expansion is taken into consideration and by taking into account wind energy potentials in these two provinces and electricity trade, substitution of wind by fossil fuel power plants, especially coal, will be analyzed. In this regard, evaluating the penetration of wind and hydro into the existing system is being evaluated considering the effects on GHG mitigation. The methodology is based on large scale energy system optimization modeling. In this project, expansion of grid connection between BC and Alberta is seen in a long-term multi-objective LP optimization model. As renewable energies such as wind and hydro have different potentials in diff...

In this paper, by using mathematical optimisation with dynamic constraints, we have tried to find the optimal configuration of technologies in the long run in such a way that the minimum costs be exerted on the energy supply system. For this purpose, the energy system of a province i n Iran (Semnan) was chosen as a sample for this study. The need for useful energy and the existing capacities of Semnan province in different social-economic sectors was estimated on the basis of statistics and information of the year 1994. A model was proposed, considering the competition of renewable energy technologies (especially solar energy) with respect to existing technologies in production and end-use sectors. The model was based on the need for useful energy estimated to the year 2021, driven from a demand model. It gives us the optimum c...

In the present paper, a new method to determine an optimal transmission expansion plan in the deregulated power system has been proposed. In the proposed scheme, uncertainties, security index and transmission costs in calculation of LMPs for transmission expansion planning are taken into account. Considering probability density function, the objective function has been formed and can help to calculate LMPs. For minimizing objective function harmony search algorithm that has better convergence in proportion to other algorithms, has been applied. Simulation results on IEEE 30 bus network have been performed. After calculating of LMPs, candidate lines with minimum MLMP (mean of LMP) have been selected.

Regarding dependency of Iran's economy on revenues of crude oil exports, investigations on the dynamics of crude oil production rate (considering the factors such as technological, economic, political, etc.) are of high importance for the country. In this paper, factors influencing the Iran's crude oil production peak are investigated by system dynamics approach. Through results obtained by the model it is shown how different factors, within causal relationships, affect the occurrence time and the volume of produced oil at its peak. The model is also used to evaluate different scenarios on oil price, geological uncertainty, production depletion, and foreign investment level in the country. Moreover, it can be used to simulate behavior of main variables in the industry under different policy options. The model predicts that the peak will occur sometime between 2035 and 2042 with various production volumes in different scenarios. The developed model can help practitioners, especially policy makers, in the oil sector to gain a systemic and comprehensive insight of influencing factors and the relationships which cause occurrence of Iran's crude oil peak. Investments in all exploration and production sectors, which depend on the oil prices, might be the most crucial variable on the future of the industry and its success to help the developing country achieve its goals.

Many attempts have been done in order to develop alternative sources of energy, since fossil fuel resources are limited and will be depleted soon or late. Despite these efforts, as international energy organizations declare, fossil fuel resources have the largest share in the world's energy supply. Therefore, the study of exploration, production, and exploitation dynamics of these resources, has been considered a significant topic for many researchers. System dynamics, which is an appropriate method for dynamic studies and policy analysis, has been used as one of the most impressive methodologies in systemic research and application in this area. Besides the illustration of the role of system dynamics in fossil fuel resources analysis, this paper reviews the pioneering system dynamics models in this field. The results of this work would be helpful for researchers who are interested in the dynamic studies of fossil fuel resources' systems.

Because of population growth and restructuring changes in these countries, electricity demand is growing at a high rate of 7-10% annually. As capacity installation in electricity sector is time consuming and requires high capital investments, governments of developing countries are burdened to spend heavy budgets in this sector. Electric sector in these countries is taking into consideration the change from monopoly towards free competition markets and allowing private sector to invest in electricity capacity expansion. Some developed nations with less capacity growths and stronger markets have experienced busts and booms after deregulation. This feature can result to much more instabilities and higher risks of market collapse if necessary policies and supports are not taken by the governments. This paper examines a case study for Iran which is a developing country for the case in which generation sector has become completely deregulated and generation market is open to private sectors to invest for building capacities, operating and owning or transferring to the government (B.O.O and B.O.T schemes). For this purpose, system dynamics modeling has been used to examine the impact of deregulation on generation capacity growth in economies in transition and finding necessary actions required to reach a more stable and sustainable growth after deregulation

Nevertheless, developing and real-world applications of new communications technology are faced with tremendous problems for new technology users, developers and implementers. Traditional systems engineering cannot be capable to develop a new technology effectively because it does not consider the dynamics of the process. This paper focuses on the design of a holistic model that represents the dynamics of new communication technology development within offshore industry. The model shows the behavior of technology development efforts. Furthermore, implementing this model, results in new and useful insights about the policy option analysis for developing a new communications technology in offshore industry.
