One of the key factors in the establishment of power plants is proper location, which entails addressing various criteria. Power plant establishment operations are included in the fundamental designs; in turn, comprehensive studies in this field seem to be a prerequisite. The most important innovation of the present study consists of applying the robust bi-level programming technique and game theory (Stackelberg competition) for locating renewable energy sites. Robust stochastic method is implemented for the robustification of the model against variations (eg, noise and perturbation) and uncertain conditions. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) method is used for solving bi-level programming. The obtained results reveal that the incorporation of uncertainties can enhance energy generation and supplier's profit. Furthermore, the objective functions of the proposed model are compared with those under conditions without uncertainties. A sensitivity analysis of major parameters is performed to validate the proposed model. By increasing uncertainty, generated energy decrease, and supplier's profit increase. The supplier's profit gradually diminishes by raising the discounting rate. Moreover, as scale of problems increases, the generated energy and supplier's profit are boosted.

A METHOD FOR TECHNICAL ECONOMIC-ANALYSIS OF SOLAR HEATING-SYSTEMS TASDEMIROGLU, E; ARINC, F (Elsevier BV, 1988-01-01) The necessity for technical-economic analysis of solar energy systems is obvious when assessing their feasibility vis-á-vis conventional alternative systems. Optimum magnitudes of the installation parameters should be defined under the required economic conditions. In this study, the optimization procedure was chosen so as to maximize the total accumulated saving throughout the economic lifetime of the system. The annual solar heating fraction of the system is assessed using the f-chart method which can be ...
Investigation of Porosity and Permeability Impairment in Sandstones by X-ray Analysis and Simulation Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Civan, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Both porosity and permeability constitute the major parameters in core analysis. In this study, the variation of these two parameters along a sandstone core sample was investigated during formation damage. A water-based drilling fluid was dynamically circulated through the core sample for three different time intervals of 15 min, 45 min, and 60 min at 100 psi circulation pressure. The core sample was analyzed using x-ray digital radiography by sectional image approach. The differences in the porous media du...
New method for investigation of parameters of real thermoelectric modules AHISKA, RAŞİT; Ahiska, K. (Elsevier BV, 2010-02-01) In the present study, a new method to investigate all output parameters of a thermoelectric module has been developed. The new method bases on the thermoemf measurement of a working module and the comparison of the results with those of classical methods. The new method is employed in investigation of the parameters of a standard thermoelectric module of Melcor with production code of CP1.0-127-05L. The theoretical results calculated by the means of new and classical methods for the parameters of an actual ...
Statistical analysis of solar radiation data Yilmaz, E.; Cancino, B.; Parra, W. R. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) Solar radiation is the most important parameter in the design and study of solar energy conversion devices. The present work is based on statistical analysis of solar radiation data for the city of Valparaiso in the coast region of Chile. Experimental data were obtained from the Santa Maria University in Valparaiso over a five-year period measured by the actinograph and the pyranometer. The error between the actinography values in relation to the pyranometer ones was determined. The most frequent error perc...
An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01) The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...
