The Impacts of Farm Size and Economic Risk on No-Till Rice Whole-Farm Profitability [PDF]

open access: yes
This study evaluated the impacts of farm size and stochastic return variability on no-till (NT) rice profitability at the whole-farm level. Mixed integer programming was used to determine optimal machinery complements, fuel consumption, and machinery ...

Stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming

open access: yesElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
AbstractWe present a stochastic version of Concurrent Constraint Programming (CCP), where we associate a rate to each basic instruction that interacts with the constraint store. We give an operational semantic that can be provided either with a discrete or a continuous model of time. The notion of observables is discussed, both for the discrete and the

Electricity Procurement for Large Consumers with Second Order Stochastic Dominance Constraints

open access: yesIranian Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2012
This paper presents a decision making approach for mid-term scheduling of large industrial consumers based on the recently introduced class of Stochastic Dominance (SD)- constrained stochastic programming. In this study, the electricity price in the pool

Expected Duration of Dynamic Markov PERT Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Industrial Engineering and Production Research, 2007
: In this paper , we apply the stochastic dynamic programming to approximate the mean project completion time in dynamic Markov PERT networks. It is assumed that the activity durations are independent random variables with exponential distributions, but ...

Analysis and Impact of Data‐Driven Hourly Probability Distribution Functions in Microgrids Day‐Ahead Energy Management under Uncertainties: A Case Study in New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation
Microgrids are critical for achieving smart grid objectives, enhancing reliability, resilience, and supplying under‐served areas. However, day‐ahead scheduling of generating resources remains challenging due to uncertainties inherent in renewable energy ...

Discounted Stochastic Fluid Programs

open access: yesMathematics of Operations Research, 2001
We consider optimal control problems for stochastic fluid models of the following type: Suppose (Zt) is a continuous-time Markov chain with finite state space. As long as Zt = z, the dynamics of the system at time t are given by a function bz(u(·)), where u is a control we have to choose. A cost rate function c is given, depending on the state and the

Stochastic Congestion Management Considering Power System Uncertainties

open access: yesIranian Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2010
Congestion management in electricity markets is traditionally done using deterministic values of power system parameters considering a fixed network configuration.

Dynamic programming principle for backward doubly stochastic recursive optimal control problem and sobolev weak solution of the stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation

open access: yesFundamental Research
In this paper, we investigate a backward doubly stochastic recursive optimal control problem wherein the cost function is expressed as the solution to a backward doubly stochastic differential equation.
