Transmission system operators employ reserves to deal with unexpected variations of demand and generation to guarantee the security of supply. The French transmission system operator RTE dynamically sizes the required margins using a…
In a given production planning horizon, the demands may only be comfirmed in part of the whole periods, and the others are uncertain. In this paper, we consider a two-stage stochastic lot-sizing problem with chance-constrained condition in…
Second order conic programming (SOCP) has been used to model various applications in power systems, such as operation and expansion planning. In this paper, we present a two-stage stochastic mixed integer SOCP (MISOCP) model for the…
This paper deals with the alternative mathematical modeling of the two-side platform. Two-sided platforms are specific multi-sided platforms that bring together two distinct groups of a model. The stochastic modeling by adapting various…
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…
This paper introduces a node formulation for multistage stochastic programs with endogenous (i.e., decision-dependent) uncertainty. Problems with such structure arise when the choices of the decision maker determine a change in the…
We study a pessimistic stochastic bilevel program in the context of sequential two-player games, where the leader makes a binary here-and-now decision, and the follower responds a continuous wait-and-see decision after observing the…
Authors describe a two-stage traffic assignment model. It contains of two blocks. The first block consists of model for calculating correspondence (demand) matrix, whereas the second block is a traffic assignment model. The first model…
We investigate the Optimal Obstacle Placement (OOP) problem under uncertainty, framed as the dual of the Optimal Traversal Path problem in the Stochastic Obstacle Scene paradigm. We consider both continuous domains, discretized for…
Scenario-based optimization problems can be solved via Benders decomposition, which separates first-stage (master problem) decisions from second-stage (subproblem) recourse actions and iteratively refines the master problem with Benders…
Security-Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) is one of the most significant problems in secure and optimal operation of modern electricity markets. New sources of uncertainties such as wind speed volatility and price-sensitive loads impose…
Smart distribution grids should efficiently integrate stochastic renewable resources while effecting voltage regulation. The design of energy management schemes is challenging, one of the reasons being that energy management is a multistage…
We consider a variant of the berth allocation problem-i.e., the multi-port berth allocation problem-aimed at assigning berthing times and positions to vessels in container terminals. This variant involves optimizing vessel travel speeds…
The bilevel facility location problem (BO-FLP) is one of the core optimization problems behind the design of many decentralized industrial systems, e.g., supply chain systems where a supplier constructs some critical facilities and then…
Stochastic choice-based discrete planning is a broad class of decision-making problems characterized by a sequential decision-making process involving a planner and a group of customers. The firm or planner first decides a subset of options…
The multi-energy management framework of industrial parks advocates energy conversion and scheduling, which takes full advantage of the compensation and temporal availability of multiple energy. However, how to exploit elastic loads and…
Mathematical programming formulations of influence diagrams can bridge the gap between representing and solving decision problems. However, they suffer from both modeling and computational limitations. Aiming to address modeling…
The main task in analyzing a switching network design (including circuit-, multirate-, and photonic-switching) is to determine the minimum number of some switching components so that the design is non-blocking in some sense (e.g., strict-…
In this paper we present a multi-stage stochastic optimization model to solve an inventory routing problem for recyclable waste collection. The objective is the maximization of the total expected profit of the waste collection company. The…
Optimization problems involving sequential decisions in a stochastic environment were studied in Stochastic Programming (SP), Stochastic Optimal Control (SOC) and Markov Decision Processes (MDP). In this paper we mainly concentrate on SP…
