We present a hybrid optimization framework for a class of problems, formalized as a generalization of the Continuous Energy-Con\-strained Scheduling Problem (CECSP), introduced by Nattaf et al. (2014). This class is obtained from challenges…
We investigate a real-life air cargo loading problem which is a variant of the three-dimensional Variable Size Bin Packing Problem with special bin forms of cuboid and non-cuboid unit load devices (ULDs). Packing is constrained by…
This brief deals with the satisfaction of the daily cooling demand by a hybrid system that consists of a vapour-compression refrigeration cycle and a thermal energy storage (TES) unit, based on phase change materials. The addition of the…
The key of the post-disaster humanitarian logistics (PD-HL) is to build a good facility location and capacity planning (FLCP) model for delivering relief supplies to affected areas in time. To fully exploit the historical PD data, this…
Recently, we proposed a capacity expansion approach for transmission grids that combines the upgrade of transmission capacity with a transition in system structure to improve grid operation. The key to this concept is a particular hybrid…
Governments across the world are planning to increase the share of renewables in their energy systems. The siting of new wind and solar power plants requires close coordination with grid planning, and hence co-optimization of investment in…
As rapidly growing AI computational demands accelerate the need for new hardware installation and maintenance, this work explores optimal data center resource management by balancing operational efficiency with fault tolerance through…
