A review of short-term hydro scheduling tools

2013 48th International Universities' Power Engineering Conference (UPEC), 2013
This paper presents a review of short-term hydro scheduling tools reported by the scientific community, presenting different methodologies and models published over the last 20 years about operations, scheduling and optimization of hydro systems, in competitive electricity markets, considering the short-term horizon, i.e., between one day and one week,

A review for short-term scheduling of batch processes

2008 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics, 2008
Significant progresses in the area of short-term scheduling of batch processes have been achieved in the pass two decades. The main objective of this paper is to present a review in this challenging area. Based on time representation, existing scheduling approaches are classified into discrete and continuous time formulation and their strengths and ...

A short-term scheduling for the optimal operation of biorefineries

Energy Conversion and Management, 2011
Abstract This work presents an analysis of the inherent potentialities and characteristics of the sugarcane industries that produce sugar, bioethanol, biogas and bioelectricity and that are being described as “Biorefineries”. These Biorefineries are capable of producing bio-energy under diverse forms, intended for their own internal consumption and ...

Short-term scheduling of diesel blending and distribution

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2013
Abstract The present work is concerned with the development of alternative optimization models which address the scheduling problem of diesel blending and distribution in oil-refinery operations. The problem involves intermediate products stored in dedicated tanks that are blended to produce diesel with three different grades.

Realizability of Short-Term Power Generation Schedules

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1999
Abstract In the current operation practice of electric power companies, hourly generation schedules obtained in short-term generation scheduling problems are taken as hourly energy delivery schedules. However, it is shown in this paper that hourly generation levels satisfying ramp-rate constraints may not be able to be realized as an energy delivery ...

Studies on the Short Term Fairness Properties of Joint Scheduler

International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking, 2012
Since the utilization of multiuser diversity in wireless networks can increase the information theoretic capacity, much attention has been paid to packet schedulers exploiting multiuser diversity. However, it is known if there exists a tradeoff between the information theoretic capacity and fairness achieved by schedulers exploiting multiuser diversity.

Short‐term maintenance scheduling for utility systems

Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, 2007
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to optimize short‐term maintenance scheduling of utility systems satisfying network constraints.Design/methodology/approachA mathematical programming model with network constraints is presented.FindingsThere are some cases in which the maintenance of a certain unit affects the operations of non‐maintenance units. The

Short-term scheduling of pipeless batch plants

Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 1997
Pipeless batch plants comprise a number of processing stations of varying functionality (e.g., filling, mixing, reacting and emptying stations). A number of mobile vessels are used to hold material while it is being processed at stations, or being transferred from one station to another.

Short-term environmental/economic hydrothermal scheduling

Electric Power Systems Research, 2014
Abstract This paper proposes a new technique based on lexicographic optimization and ɛ-constraint method to solve the combined economic emission scheduling problem of hydrothermal systems comprising several equality constraints as well as non-equality ones. The hydrothermal scheduling problem is modeled as a multi-objective problem with two objective

A short term production planning and scheduling model

Engineering Costs and Production Economics, 1989
Abstract An optimal decision making model is developed to assist the manufacturer to select among the potential customer orders, which orders to reject and which orders to accept and in what quantities such that the net operational profit during the planning time horizon will be maximized.
