There are few systematic methodologies capable of predicting and leveraging the reserve capacity potential of large populations of Thermostatically-Controlle...

Modern power systems are undergoing a transitional phase, increasingly incorporating variable generation (VG) to harness the economic and environmental benef...

Oil industry plays currently a major role in the Canadian economy. In the future, further developments of the oil sector will be affected by the ability to t...

In this paper, we propose a differential game model with a coupled constraint to represent the possible effects of climate agreements between industrialized,...

The optimization of open-pit mine production scheduling (OPMPS) is an intricate process due to its size and uncertainty of key input parameters. Over the las...

We investigate geoengineering as a possible substitute for mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce damages from climate change. With the help of an inte...

We consider a dynamic closed-loop supply chain made up of one manufacturer and one retailer, with both players investing in a product recovery program to inc...

We introduce learning in a dynamic game of international pollution, with ecological uncertainty. We characterize and compare the feedback non-cooperative emi...

Remote communities are typically isolated from the main electricity grid and require local generation, most often relying on expensive resources (especially ...

Security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) and security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problems are necessary tools for system operators for operati...

There are few systematic methodologies capable of predicting and managing the potential of large populations of appliances working as aggregated reserve reso...

This paper presents a new method for solving the short-term unit commitment and loading problem of a hydropower system. Dynamic programming is used to comput...

The dust suppression of hauling roads in open-pit mines is done by periodically spraying water from a water truck. The objective of this article is to presen...

This article describes the problem in which the edges of a network represent customers, and a quantity of material is delivered to them so that each one achi...

A dynamic global hedging procedure making use of futures contracts is developed for a retailer of the electricity market facing price, load and basis risk. S...

In this paper, we present a mixed integer programming model for solving the long-term planning problem of an underground mine. This model establishes the seq...

It is increasingly important to provide the relevant data for strategic decisions related to oil production and the marketing of oil products. We propose the...

In terms of energy resources, Canada is an important player on the world scene. However, the energy systems of the Canadian provinces and territories are muc...

This paper proposes a heuristic approach based on network flow techniques to schedule the production in open-pit mines, while accounting for metal uncertaint...

This paper presents an analysis of Canadian energy and climate policies in terms of the coherence between federal and provincial/territorial strategies. Afte...
