The ever-increasing need for more reliable power supply, cost-effective and environmental-friendly utilization of distributed energy resources will result in formation of multiple microgrids (MMGs) in the near future of ...

The future microgrids (MGs) hosting a great deal of uncertain and intermittent local renewable generations are envisioned to need for fast and flexible units in the generation side. Demand response, however, as a load ...

It is usually supposed that the training (source domain) and test (target domain) data follow a similar distribution and feature space in most pattern recognition tasks. However, in many real-world applications, particularly ...

This paper proposes microgrid (MG) bidding strategy in the transactive energy market (TEM), in which market participants are able to negotiate and trade by a new-designed smart contract (SC) in a peer-to-peer way. In such ...

Solar energy is becoming a mainstream energy source with considerable attention from analysts these days. The photovoltaic (PV) system's output power fluctuates with temperature and sunlight affecting its efficiency. To ...

SQL injection (SQLI) is one of the most important security threats against web applications. Many tech-niques have been proposed for counteracting SQLI attacks; however, second-order attacks and the injectionattacks that ...

In this paper, an analytical cost/worth evaluation framework is presented for determination of optimal reliability enhancement plan in active distribution systems. In this regard, it is assumed that emergency vehicle-to-grid ...

In this paper, first, a rotor angle trajectory model based on polynomial functions is proposed. Afterwards, a response-based approach for online prediction of power system angular instability is presented. The proposed ...

This paper proposes a new cooperative scheduling framework for demand response aggregators (DRAs) and electric vehicle aggregators (EVAs) in a day-ahead market. The proposed model implements the information-gap decision ...

Development of IoT applications brings a new movement to the functionality of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from only environment sensing and data gathering to collaborative inferring and ubiquitous intelligence. In ...

In an electricity grid, imbalance between generation and load need be corrected within seconds so that frequency deviations will not threaten the stability and security. This is especially important for a low inertia ...

Malware analysis is essential to understanding the internal logic and intent of malware programs in order to mitigate their threats. As the analysis methods have evolved, malware authors have adopted more techniques such ...

A graph G is called a (P≥n, k)-factor critical graph if G − U has a P≥ n -factor for any U ⊆ V(G) with|U|=k.  A graphG is called a (P≥n, m)-factor deleted graph if.............
