Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

This study explores the integration of fossil and renewable energy generators on Selayar Island, focusing on optimizing Diesel Power Plants (PLTD) and Solar Power Plants (PLTS). Using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) for generator scheduling, simulations reveal that a 15% rotational backup constraint positively impacts operational costs and ...

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

Leveraging machine learning (ML) to predict an initial solution for mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has gained considerable popularity in recent years. These methods predict a solution and fix a subset of variables to reduce the problem dimension. Then, they solve the reduced problem to obtain the final solutions.

ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

Multi-Objectives, Multi-Period Optimization of district heating networks Using Evolutionary Algorithms and Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) [PDF]
Abstract A systematic procedure, including process design and integration techniques for sizing and operation optimization of a poly-generation plant and design of a district heating network is presented in this paper. In the developed model a simultaneous multi objectives and multi-period optimization are principally investigated.
