To charge or not to charge? Decentralized charging decisions for the smart grid
The rise of electric vehicles brings a number of challenges for our infrastructure and energy security. Waraich (Waraich et al., 2009) demonstrates that bad choices of charging times made by the owners of electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to severe problems for the electric grid due to peak loads. Coordinated charging decisions controlled by a centrali...
متن کاملAirline Yield Management with Overbooking, Cancellations, and No-Shows
We formulate and analyze a Markov decision process (dynamic programming) model for airline seat allocation (yield management) on a single-leg flight with multiple fare classes. Unlike previous models, we allow cancellation, no-shows, and overbooking. Additionally, we make no assumptions on the arrival patterns for the various fare classes. Our model is also applicable to other problems of reven...
متن کاملAppointment Scheduling Under Patient No-Shows and Service Interruptions
We consider an appointment-based service system (for example, an outpatient clinic) for which appointments need to be scheduled before the service session starts. Patients with scheduled appointments may or may not show-up for their appointments. The service of scheduled patients can be interrupted by emergency requests that have a higher priority. We develop a framework which can be utilized i...
متن کاملAsymptotically optimal appointment schedules with customer no-shows
We solve the problem of scheduling appointments for a finite customer population to a service facility with customer no-shows to minimize customer waiting time and server overtime costs. We study the problem in fluid and diffusion frameworks. We find that it is optimal to schedule traffic so that the system is in critical load. That is, heavy-traffic is obtained as a result of optimization rath...
متن کاملAsymptotically optimal appointment schedules with customer no-shows
We consider the problem of scheduling appointments for a finite customer population to a service facility with customer no-shows, to minimize the sum of customer waiting time and server overtime costs. Since appointments need to be scheduled ahead of time we refer to this problem as an optimization problem rather than a dynamic control one. We study this optimization problem in fluid and diffus...
