Power distribution systems are experiencing restructuring owning to the increasing trend of integrating renewable energy sources as well as privatization in the network. In this regard, the dependence of power generation by renewable energy sources on meteorological characteristics would challenge the conventional procedures of operating the system. Respectively, while the expansion of renewable energy sources would facilitate supplying the demand loads locally; the issues associated with the uncertainty and variability of power generation by these units should be addressed in future operational schemes of distribution systems. This condition has resulted in the development of the... 

Emergence of crypto-currency and blockchain technology revolutionize supply chain processes. In addition, customer needs for more information on products or services from origin to destination, highlights the necessity of transparency, originality and traceability in supply chains. This research is aimed to develop a blockchain based system ascertaining supply chain transparency and originality. To this aim, a joint pricing and closed-loop supply chain network design problem is selected as a good platform to implement it. Due to increasing concerns on environmental issues and maximizing job opportunities, sustainability is also considered in the proposed problem. To ascertain transparency... 

In communications systems, coding is used to combat channel errors. The redundancy introduced by coding enables the detection and/or correction of errors occurring in the channel. In addition to communications systems, coding is also beneficial in various other systems such as distributed storage systems and blockchain systems to cope with node failures, data erasures, and adversarial behaviors attempting to modify information. In existing applications of coding, it is generally assumed that the encoding operation is performed correctly and without errors, and errors are applied to the encoded data. In recent years, applications have emerged where the assumption of error-free encoding is not... 

Focusing on developing the EEPS (Energy Electric and Power System) based on the SG (Smart Grid) infrastructure to achieve implementation of EI (Energy Internet) ultimately, in order to analyze and manage the energy/power consumption, requires a robust embedded EMS (Energy Management System) to implement real-time LF (Load Forecasting), prevent the power waste and realize consumption management which eventually leads toward the smart industries/buildings. STLF (Short Term Load Forecasting) is an essential component that an industrial plant requires to manage the power, regarding the load fluctuations during production, and compulsory requirement of cost mitigation. This thesis, in order to... 

In various industries, particularly in the process industries, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) stands as the predominant method for simulating distributed systems. In these methods, discretization of system geometry and partial differential equations is necessary, resulting in a system of algebraic or ordinary differential equations, or a combination thereof. The significant computational demands arising from the extensive number of equations derived from dynamic system simulations highlight the necessity for substantial processing and computing power. The objective of this project is to reduce the computational load associated with solving these equations. It focuses on utilizing machine...
