Abstract
Accurate prediction of electricity demand is essential for planning, policy making and resource allocation in national level. In this manuscript, we applied a number of artificial intelligence methods to predict macro-scale electricity consumption rates in Iran. To this end, three socio-economic and three environmental factors were considered as inputs to the prediction models. We used data for the period 1967-2013 in order to predict the power demand in the years 2014-2018. Experimental results showed that the path coefficient analysis model with linear coefficients had the best performance among the models considered in this study. The outcome of this research can help the policy makers to...

Abstract
This study presents a novel set-up for desiccant-based cooling and dehumidification systems. In this cycle, a solid desiccant and conventional combined cooling and power (CCP) systems, based on the ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) and the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), are integrated to provide dehumidification and cooling, simultaneously. The ERC is integrated with the ORC for devising a self-powered design which has not been done until now. The proposed integrated system is useful for replacing the peak electricity demand with the heat demand, decreasing the pressure on the power grid in humid areas. Dynamic hourly simulation of the proposed system as well as a conventional system were...

Abstract
The concept of energy hub has been used recently to study multi-carrier energy systems. A model has been proposed in this paper for planning multi-hub energy system considering the competition between the hubs. The energy hubs are interconnected by a power grid. Hubs supply the demands for heat and electricity using various technologies and access to several energy carriers. To this aim, load zones were used to incorporate demand profiles for both heat and electricity in the different seasons of the year. Supplying the demand most cost-effectively is the objective function of each hub. These hubs select the optimum strategy separately in a competitive space. The power grid is owned by...

Abstract
Besides increasing the installation of distributed generation plants, investigation on multi-carrier energy systems leads recent studies to focus on several aspects of Smart Energy Hub (S. E. Hub) systems. An S. E. Hub incorporates several modules which calculation of optimal size and operation of each have already attracted a great deal of research. Uncertainty in the modeling of these modules is an imperative factor that was not paid attention in S. E. Hub models properly. To build up a more precise framework for S. E. Hubs, here we present a stochastic model for real time electricity and natural-gas prices and electricity demands. In this paper, an S. E. Hub operates in order to minimize...

Abstract
In recent years, the need to reduce environmental impacts and increase flexibility in the energy sector has led to increased penetration of renewable energy sources and the shift from concentrated to decentralized generation. A fuel cell is an instrument that produces electricity by chemical reaction. Fuel cells are a promising technology for ultimate energy conversion and energy generation. We see that this system is integrated, where we find that the wind and photovoltaic energy system is complementary between them, because not all days are sunny, windy, or night, so we see that this system has higher reliability to provide continuous generation. At low load hours, PV and electrolysis...
