A New Approach for Global Optimization of a Class of MINLP Problems with Applications to Water Management and Pooling Problems
One of the biggest challenges in solving optimization engineering problems is rooted in the nonlinearities and nonconvexities, which arise from bilinear terms corresponding to component material balances and/or concave functions used to estimate capital cost of equipments. The procedure proposed uses an MILP lower bound constructed using partitioning of certain variables, similar to the one use...
متن کاملA Differential Evolution Approach for Global Optimization of Minlp Problems
The global optimization of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems is an active research area in many engineering fields. In this work, Differential Evolution (DE), a hybrid Evolutionary Computation method, is used for the optimization of nonconvex MINLP problems and a comparison is made among the algorithms based on hybrid of Simplex & Simulated Annealing (MSIMPSA), Genetic Algor...
متن کاملPriority-Slot-Based Continuous-Time MINLP Formulation for Crude-Oil Scheduling Problem with Two-Pipeline Transportation
Some oil refineries arrange low-fusion-point crude oil storage tanks and ones containing high-fusionpoint crude oil at two diverse locations. Refinery needs different pipeline to transport different fusion point oil, so, to transport diverse fusion point oil it needs two pipelines. Because of the constraints resulted from transporting high-fusion-point oil, to schedule such a system is very har...
متن کاملGlobal optimization for scheduling refinery crude oil operations
In this work we present an Outer-Approximation algorithm to obtain the global optimum of a nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model for the scheduling of crude oil movement at the front-end of a petroleum refinery. The model relies on a continuous time representation making use of transfer events. The proposed technique focuses on effectively solving a Mixed Integer Linear Pr...
متن کاملA convexification method for a class of global optimization problems with applications to reliability optimization
A convexification method is proposed for solving a class of global optimization problems with certain monotone properties. It is shown that this class of problems can be transformed into equivalent concave minimization problems using the proposed convexification schemes. An outer approximation method can then be used to find the global solution of the transformed problem. Applications to mixed-...
