        Photovoltaic units convert solar energy into electricity. The power of these plants is dependent on the amount of solar radiation, and because the solar radiation is variable, the production power also changes over time, and its effect on various issues, including the operation of the power system, should be investigated. In the operation of the power system, to maintain the balance of production and consumption, some reserve is considered. In the past, the amount of reserve was considered as a percentage of load or power, and in probabilistic methods it is calculated based on risk. In the well-being model of power system, both the probabilistic model and the empirical rules are used to determine the indices. This model is based on risk and the amount of reserve is higher than the capacity of the largest unit. In this paper, the well-being model of the power system with the presence of photovoltaic plants is obtained. For this purpose, the reliability model of the photovoltaic plant is obtained by considering the failure of the components and changes in solar radiation. The simulation results are also presented to investigate the impact of photovoltaic plants on well-being model indices Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a positive psychotherapy program on increasing students’ psychological capital and well-being. The research method was a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and follow up for two months, 27  female students in the experimental group and 25 girl students in the control group before and after positive psychotherapy training program, responded to the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (Luthans, Avolio, Avey & Norman, 2007) and Positive Psychotherapy Inventory (Rashid & Seligman, 2013). The experimental group received 7 sessions of positive psychotherapy training package (2 hour a session). The results of simple mixed ANOVA indicated that in the short and long term, the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the dimensions of psychological capital including hope, resiliency, optimism and self-efficacy and dimensions of PERMA well-being model including emotions, engagement, accomplishment, purpose and relationship. The results of this study consistent with the results of other studies in field of positive education showed that psycho-educational positive psychotherapy intervention by strengthening learners' coping resources and equipping their psychological capital was effective in creating skills based on well-being, happiness and character strengths of learners along with other traditional academic skills in them.
