Digital transformation model for the development of tourism companies

The way of consuming information and the way we communicate is evolving thanks to advances in technology, the digital transformation breaks new ground in the tourism sector when communicating its services, offers and messages to customers. One of the challenges facing tourism professionals is understanding technological trends to innovate and reinvent their services towards clients. For which we propose a model to adopt the digital transformation in the development of tourist companies. A questionnaire was carried out with 20 managers from the sector with 95% reliability related to customer management, competition and innovation strategy regarding digital transformation; organizational culture and change management regarding business development. The results show that 45% indicate that they rarely keep a record with updated customer data. 35% indicate that they sometimes evaluate business models to anticipate their competition. 35% rarely use any methodology to develop a business model. This reflects that companies must manage data for later use, invest resources in innovating the business model, and have technological professionals who reinvent business processes.Campus Lima Centr

Techno-Economic Energy Optimization of the Off-Grid Electrical System with Power to Gas Storage Technology

Renewable energy sources (RESs) have undeniable advantages over the recent years not only to supply electrical demand but also electrical demand. However, maximum use of the RES’s power has always been challenging as high penetration of the RESs as well as their intermittent nature might compromise the distribution networks power flow constraints. This paper proposes optimal energy operation of the off-grid distribution network  (DN) with participation of the power-to-gas (PtG) storage system. In this regard, PtG system is considered as an energy supplier in the DN. The natural gas generated by using PtG is applied to backup diesel generators for meeting demand at peak times. The objective functions in the system are modeled based on technical and economic modeling including minimize the operation cost and maximize the system reliability. The optimal energy operation in the two case studies is assumed considering non-participation and participation of the PtG system. To solving of the energy optimization, particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. Finally, proposed case studies under numerical simulation are implemented for validation of the participation of the PtG system
