Generation scheduling and control

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1987
Within an Energy Management System, the Generation Scheduling and Control function controls the electrical power output of generators so as to supply the continuously changing customer power demand in an economical manner. This function is largely provided by an Automatic Generation Control (AGC) program operating within the control center computer ...

Generalized scheduling development environment

[Proceedings] Third International Conference on Tools for Artificial Intelligence - TAI 91, 2002
A generalized scheduling development environment allows a person who composes schedules to specify both an application and a methodology, in developing a scheduling program. The authors have designed such a system and have built a proof-of-concept prototype. The prototype has been tested on two fairly different application examples. It demonstrates the

On the Computational Complexity of a Generalized Scheduling Problem

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1976
The parallel scheduling of a partially ordered set of tasks has received great attention. The partially ordered tasks can be viewed as components of a straight-line program. In this note, we discuss some aspects of the nonpreemptive parallel scheduling of a program with more general control structures.

A general multi-shift scheduling system

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2004
Summary: Rotating work schedules are encountered in several industries and public sector organizations where work is carried out 24h a day, 7 days a week. This article first provides a classification of the main constraint classes governing the design of rotating schedules.

Online Scheduling with General Cost Functions

SIAM Journal on Computing, 2012
We consider a general online scheduling problem where the goal is to minimize $\sum_j w_j g(F_j)$, where $w_j$ is the weight/importance of job $J_j$, $F_j$ is the flow time of the job in the schedule, and $g$ is an arbitrary nondecreasing cost function. Numerous natural scheduling objectives are special cases of this general framework. We show that the

Generalized fairness in QoS scheduling

2013 19th IEEE International Conference on Networks (ICON), 2013
Many scheduling protocols have been developed that provide both rate and fairness guarantees. That is, flows can take advantage of unused capacity without incurring any penalty at the scheduler. The manner in which unused capacity is distributed among the active flows varies significantly between protocols.

Automated schedule generation

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1998
Even for the most well-intentioned companies, the commitment required for the initial drafting of a plan is a real barrier to developing a useful schedule for a construction project. This paper explores how artificial intelligence and expert systems have and can be used for automating the generation of plans and schedules.

Heuristics for a general scheduling problem

Proceedings of the 2004 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE Cat. No.04TH8753), 2004
The following paper describes research on the design of heuristic repairers that have been applied to the output of an artificial genetic algorithm (GA) in a scheduling problem. The GA produces a coarse solution where constraints are not fulfilled at 100% effectiveness.

Generator Maintenance Scheduling

2021
This chapter provides the idea for a generator maintenance scheduling optimization technique, aimed at ensuring effective economic operation of a power system. The chapter gives information on how electricity can be provided to consumers without interruption.
