Determining how suitable such systems are performing in Canada and which station is the most suitable in terms of energy-economic-environmental parameters are issues that have not been investigated so far. Considering that such results are very important for energy decision-makers and investors, therefore, in the present work, the provision of space heating and hot water heating on a residential scale in 10 Canadian provinces was done by Valentin TSOL v2021 R3 software. Then nine software output parameters along with three parameters of land price, the population of each station, and the natural disaster index were weighted using the AHP method. Finally, the results of the stations were ranked using five MCDM methods including AHP, TOPSIS, WASPAS, CRITIC, and GRA. The results of numerical simulations showed that the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions avoided parameter has the most weight, and the parameters solar contribution to DHW and boiler energy to DHW has the least weight. Also, the final ranking of each station showed that the most suitable station is Regina and the most unsuitable station is Victoria. By examining and analyzing the results, it was found that only based on the outputs of the Valentin TSOL v2021 R3 software, it is not possible to comment on finding appropriate and inappropriate stations, and the necessity of using ranking methods was observed more than before.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51293,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/etep/8843981","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, these source’s development costs and size are more. So, the world is focusing on renewable energy networks for energy production to the consumer. In this work, a proton exchange membrane fuel stack (PEMFS) technology is selected for energy feeding to the hydrogen vehicle. The merits of this stack are more abundant, faster fuel stack operational response, and more efficient for electrical automotive networks. However, the fuel stack’s energy production is nonlinear and its operational point varies concerning the fuel stack device operating temperature. The particle swarm optimized adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (PSO-ANFIS) is proposed in this work to find the operational point of the fuel cell network. The features of this hybrid methodology are the low number of iteration values required, low convergence time, low-level dependence on the fuel stack, and high compliance for the quick deviations of the fuel system temperature. The operating efficiency and tracking time of the proposed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller are 95.60% and 0.1089 s. Another issue of the fuel cell is high output current generation and less voltage production. This condition is happening in the fuel cell because of its chemical reaction dynamics, internal resistance of the cell, and electrochemical potential. Due to this excess current flow in the fuel cell, the direct fuel stack-fed electrical networks face the issue of high power conduction losses. To reduce the power conduction losses of the system, a single-switch power circuit is used to reduce fuel source current, thereby optimizing the excessive power losses of the system.

CC, on the other hand, has had several drawbacks. The task scheduling issue is taken as one of the important difficulties because a solid mapping between available resources and users’ activities is essential to reduce the execution time of users’ jobs (i.e., minimize makespan) and maximize resource utilization. Because the service provider must offer several customers’ benefits at distinct times and from distinct locations, task scheduling is indeed a serious challenge in CC. As a result, in the CC environment, these operations must be scheduled in a more dynamic and timely manner. The objective is to provide an enhanced task scheduling algorithm for allocating the task of the user to different computing resources. The major aim of the research work is to reduce the cost and the execution time as well as to improve the resource utilization of the task scheduling problem using the improved support vector machine (ISVM) and the optimization concept. The novel algorithm used here merges two familiar algorithms as squirrel search algorithm (SSA) and the horse herd optimization algorithm (HOA) leading to a new hybrid metaheuristic algorithm called the horse herd–squirrel search algorithm (HO–SSA). The developed HO–SSA assists in introducing a multiobjective optimization for efficiently handling task scheduling issues in the cloud sector.
