The classical alternating current optimal power flow problem is highly nonconvex and generally hard to solve. Convex relaxations, in particular semidefinite,...

The facility layout problem is concerned with finding an arrangement of non-overlapping indivisible departments within a facility so as to minimize the tota...

Maintenance activities help prevent costly generator breakdowns but because generators under maintenance are typically unavailable, the impact of maintenance...

Electric power systems need to ensure that production and demand of electricity are continuously in balance. With fundamental changes taking place in the p...

This paper proposes a framework to determine day-ahead capacity profiles that account for the stochastic demand generated by user behavior in smart buildings...

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in the electrical power grid, demand response via thermostatic appliances such as electric wate...

Facility layout is a well-known operations research problem that arises in various applications. The multi-row layout is a challenging optimization problem...

This work presents a collaborative scheme for the end-users in a smart building with multiple housing units. This approach determines a day-ahead operational...

This paper presents a new methodology to estimate power capacity profiles for smart buildings. The capacity profile can be used within a demand side manage...

We consider the maximum \(k\)-cut problem that consists in partitioning the vertex set of a graph into \(k\) subsets such that the sum of the weights o...

Facility layout problems are an important class of operations research problems that has been studied for several decades. Most variants of facility layout ...

Electric utilities have been using wind power to an increasing extent in order to provide clean energy. However, this resource depends on the intermittency o...

It is well known that the mixed linear complementarity problem can be used to model the equilibrium in energy markets as well as a host of other engineering ...

A critical step of any cutting plane algorithm is to find valid inequalities, or cuts, that improve the current relaxation of the integer-constrained problem...

The unequal-areas facility layout problem is concerned with finding the optimal arrangement of a given number of non-overlapping indivisible departments with...

The facility layout problem is a well-known operations research problem that arises in multiple applications. This paper is concerned with the multi-row layo...

Conic optimization refers to the problem of optimizing a linear function over the intersection of an affine space and a closed convex cone. Conic optimizat...

A smart grid is the combination of a traditional electrical power distribution system with two-way communication between suppliers and consumers. This combin...

This report proposes two electricity pricing strategies for the Major of an American town of 16,000 people. An implementation with the AIMMS software is pres...

This paper is concerned with the Multi-Row Facility Layout Problem. Given a set of rectangular facilities, a fixed number of rows, and weights for each pair ...
