In this paper, we present a stochastic two-level optimization model whose upper-level problem depicts a wastewater treatment plant deciding on the size of co...

The expansion of the Panama Canal will be completed by 2015. The route via the Panama Canal will shorten voyages from North America to Japan by more than 7,5...

In this paper we present a new rolling horizon approach for solving stochastic mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such a scheme allows for decision-depen...

Traditionnellement, la planification des réserves opérationnelles dans les réseaux électriques se fait en fonction de la capacité de production disponible et...

An analytical approach and a control strategy are proposed in Part I of this two-part paper for leveraging the aggregate demand of a population of Thermostat...

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...

Nous considérons une chaîne d'approvisionnement fermée composée d'un fabricant et d'un détaillant dans un contexte dynamique. Les joueurs investissent dans ...

On considère un jeu dynamique de contrôle de pollution en présence d'incertitude écologique. On caractérise et on compare les stratégies d'équilibres en rétr...

Les communautés éloignées sont typiquement isolées des réseaux de production, transport et distribution d'électricité. C'est ainsi qu'elles doivent compter s...

Les problèmes d'écoulement de puissance optimaux sous contraintes de sécurité (EPOCS) et les problèmes d'ordonnancement des groupes de production sous contra...

Il existe présentement peu de méthodes systématiques capables de prédire et de gérer le potentiel de réglage offert par de grandes populations d'appareils él...

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...
