This paper presents a multi-period auction for a day-ahead pool-based electricity market in which consumer payment for energy is minimized under uniform pricing. This optimization problem has been recently characterized as a non-separable, non-linear, mixed-integer, and combinatorial problem for...

The guaranteed service model (GSM) computes optimal order-points in multi-echelon inventory control under the assumptions that delivery times can be guaranteed and the demand is bounded. Our new stochastic guaranteed service model (SGSM) with Recourse covers also scenarios that violate these...

This paper presents a comprehensive unified model for planning the retrofit of power plants with carbon capture (CC) technologies and the subsequent carbon dioxide (CO2) source-sink matching. The planning horizon is divided into time intervals that are not necessarily of equal duration, but...

Design problems constitute the first stage in developing a machining transfer line. This paper is concerned with a problem in which a transfer line has to be designed in an optimal way to produce parts of different types. Each part of a specific type requires a unique set of operations to be...

If railway companies ask for station capacity numbers, their underlying question is in fact one about the platformability of extra trains. Train platformability depends not only on the infrastructure, buffer times, and the desired departure and arrival times of the trains, but also on route...
