With the rapid development of electricity production, SO2 from coal-fired power stations causes severe air pollution problem. In 1997, the SO2 emitted from thermal power plants reached 7.,0 Mt, accounting for about 33% of the national emissions. At present and in the future, th...

In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), some routing algorithms ignore that most nodes are selfish, i.e., nodes are willing to use their own resources to forward messages to nodes with whom they have a relationship. In view of this phenomenon, we propose a routing algorithm based on Geographic Informatio...

In this paper, a photovoltaic(PV) generation system based on front-stage differential power processors(DPP) and BACK-stage centralized wide voltage-gain converter is proposed. The resonant switched capacitor(ReSC) converter, which features high power density and high efficiency, is employed as the d...

The reliability level of a power generation system is an important problem which is concerned by both electricity producers and electricity consumers. Why? It is known that the high reliability level may result in additional utility cost, and the low reliability level may result in additional consum...

In this paper, we introduce a combinatorial auction-based market model to enable Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to satisfy complex user requirements collaboratively, where the CSPs are connected in a social network and communication costs among them cannot be ignored. However, in many situations CSP...
