Energy Flexibilization and Demand Response for a Novel Decentralized Power‐to‐Methanol Process

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study presents the results of an optimization framework for the scheduling of a Power‐to‐methanol process coupled with an electrolyser, renewable energy sources and a battery. The optimal dynamic operating schedule is computed with different configurations and boundary conditions, showing the advantages of flexible operation.

Computing (R, S) policies with correlated demand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper considers the single-item single-stocking non-stationary stochastic lot-sizing problem under correlated demand. By operating under a nonstationary (R, S) policy, in which R denote the reorder period and S the associated order-up-to-level, we ...

Optimization of the Water Distribution Networks with Differential Evolution (DE) and Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)

open access: yesJournal of Water Resource and Protection, 2015
Nowadays, due to increasing population and water shortage and competition for its consumption, especially in the agriculture, which is the largest consumer of water, proper and suitable utilization and optimal use of water resources is essential. One of the important parameters in agriculture field is water distribution network.

Smart Charging With Hourly Pricing as Policy Intervention: Reducing Costs and Grid Congestion for Promoting Electric Vehicles in Developing Countries

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Smart charging with hourly pricing optimizes electric vehicle (EV) charging in developing countries, reducing EV owner costs by 30% and easing grid congestion. Using an agent‐based energy management system, the study shows dynamic pricing effectively shifts charging to off‐peak hours, enhancing grid stability and supporting sustainable EV adoption in ...

Power-Aware Logical Topology Design Heuristics in Wavelength-Routing Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
—Wavelength-Routing (WR) networks are the most common solution for core networks. With the access segment moving from copper to Passive Optical Networks (PON), core networks will become one of the major culprits of Internet power consumption. However, WR

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting
