This article describes an extension of the MARKAL energy model, in which the demands for energy services are elastic to their own prices. The new model is c...

In this article, we examine the evaluation of the economic potentials of various renewable energy technologies. We first argue that traditional evaluation m...

Several technologies and renewable energy forms are evaluated using the global energy model MARKAL. This report describes some advantages of such an approa...

In this research, two large scale MARKAL L. P. models of Québec and Ontario are used to evaluate the response of their energy systems to various economic an...

In this paper we assess the potential contribution of optimization based systems analysis methods in the modeling of economy-energy-environment interactio...

One type of testing for short circuits in printed circuit boards components is described and modelled as the covering of the edges of a graph by cuts. To mi...

The rectangular cutting-stock problem consists in laying out a specified list of rectangular pieces on a minimum number of rectangular sheets. A pattern is ...

In this paper a class of large, structured linear programs arising in multi-regional (or multi-sectoral) commodity exchange problems, is examined. A decompo...

The large-scale MARKAL Linear Program is applied (separately) to the energy systems of Québec and of Ontario, under several alternative constraints on emiss...

This paper proposes a model for the optimal choice among three alternative new markets for Québec electricity: new electrical processes in the industrial se...

A multiregional electricity supply and trading model, derived from MARKAL and involving four regions, is used to assess the advantages derived from a cooper...

The interaction between a utility company and electricity cogenerators is modeled via a game theoretic, systems analysis approach, under the assumption of a...

This paper presents a new heuristic for the Euclidean planar traveling salesman problem. The heuristic takes advantage of the natural alignment of the point...

In this paper, we report on an updated, improved version of the MARKAL energy model, developed in the late 1970's under the aegis of member countries of the...

In this article, a MARKAL model of electricity trading between four regions is presented and used to simulate the advantages derived from cooperative planni...

New tour improvement heuristics are described and studied from the point of view of their performance on random and real instances. They are compared to the...

Ce rapport présente deux modèles illustrant l'évolution à long terme, des systèmes de production d'électricité des régions de l'Ontario et de la Nouvelle-An...

We report on the development of a linear process model of energy supplies and uses in the province of Ontario (Canada). The minerals industries producing ...

The two-dimensional cutting-stock problem consists of laying out a specified list of rectangular pieces on rectangular sheets, in such a way as to minimize t...

The MARKAL-Québec dynamic process model is used to simulate the reaction of the Québec energy and industrial sectors to the imposition of upper limits on th...
