Accelerating the Composite Power System Planning by Benders Decomposition

accelerating the composite power system planning by benders decomposition

this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

Accelerating Benders decomposition for network design

Network design problems arise in many different application areas such as air freight, highway traffic and communications systems. This thesis concerns the development, analysis and testing of new techniques for solving network design problems. We study the application of Benders decomposition to solve mixed integer programming formulations of the network design problem. A new methodology for a...

Planning and Scheduling by Logic-Based Benders Decomposition

We combine mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and constraint programming (CP) to solve an important class of planning and scheduling problems. Tasks are allocated to facilities using MILP and scheduled using CP, and the two are linked via logic-based Benders decomposition. Tasks assigned to a facility may run in parallel subject to resource constraints (cumulative scheduling). We solve pro...

A new Approach Versus Benders Decomposition in Aggregate Production Planning

This paper proposes a simplified solution procedure to the model presented by Akinc and Roodman. The Benders’ decomposition procedure for analyzing this model has been developed, and its shortcomings have been highlighted. Here, the special nature of the problem is exploited which allowed us to develop a new algorithm through surrogating method. The two methods are compared by several numerical...
