Truckload procurement plays a vital role in integrated container logistics, particularly under the uncertainties of container flow and market conditions. We formulate the operational volume allocation problem in drayage procurement as a…

We consider some crucial problems related to the secure and reliable operation of power systems with high renewable penetrations: how much reserve should we procure, how should reserve resources distribute among different locations, and how…

Real-life parallel machine scheduling problems can be characterized by: (i) limited information about the exact task duration at scheduling time, and (ii) an opportunity to reschedule the remaining tasks each time a task processing is…

Aggregators of consumer energy resources (CERs) like rooftop solar and battery energy storage (BES) face challenges due to their inherent uncertainties. A sensible approach is to use stochastic optimization to handle such uncertainties,…

This paper considers the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with uncertain activity durations. We assume that activity durations lie in a budgeted uncertainty set, and follow a robust two-stage approach, where a decision maker…

Pumped storage hydro units (PSHU) are great sources of flexibility in power systems. This is especially valuable in modern systems with increasing shares of intermittent renewable resources. However, the flexibility from PSHUs, particularly…

Reliable operation in power systems is becoming more difficult as the penetration of random renewable resources increases. In particular, operators face the risk of not scheduling enough traditional generators in the times when renewable…

Controlling complex dynamical systems has been a topic of considerable interest in academic circles in recent decades. While existing works have primarily focused on closed-loop control schemes with infinite-time durations, this paper…

The penetration of renewable energies requires additional storages to deal with intermittency. Accordingly, there is growing interest in evaluating the opportunity cost (usage value) associated with stored energy in large storages, a cost…

Keeping the balance between supply and demand is a fundamental task in power system operational planning practices. This task becomes particularly challenging due to the deepening penetration of renewable energy resources, which induces a…

The joint management of heat and power systems is believed to be key to the integration of renewables into energy systems with a large penetration of district heating. Determining the day-ahead unit commitment and production schedules for…

From an economic point of view, a common criterion for assessing the merits of a reserve investment is its impacts on social welfare. The underlying assumption in using this criterion is that side payments may be used to distribute the…

The integration of distributed energy resources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs), introduces significant uncertainty and complexity into modern energy systems. This paper explores a novel approach to…

The growing penetration of renewable generation in distribution networks, primarily deployed by end-use electricity customers, is changing the traditional load profile and inevitably makes supply-load balancing more challenging for grid…
