In this paper we examine a consolidation and dispatching problem motivated by a multinational chemical company which has to decide routinely the best way of delivering a set of orders to its customers over a multi-day planning horizon. Every day the decision to be made includes order consolidation, vehicle dispatching as well as load packing into the vehicles. We develop a heuristic based on a ...

Wind-hydrothermal power system dispatching has received intensive attention in recent years because it can help develop various reasonable plans to schedule the power generation efficiency. But future data such as wind power output and power load would not be accurately predicted and the nonlinear nature involved in the complex multiobjective scheduling model; therefore, to achieve accurate sol...

Energy dispatching in smart (micro)grids must take into account more conflicting objectives (or criteria), such as power reliability and quality, proper handling of the electricity demand, and cost decrease. The choice of the best alternative in energy dispatching decisions can be dealt with as a multi-criteria optimization and decision making problem. To this aim, we propose the use of linear ...

This paper investigates static job scheduling schemes that distribute workload in a network of computers with different speeds. Static schemes involve very low overhead and complexity compared to dynamic schemes, but can still provide significant performance improvement over the case of no load balancing. Optimization techniques are proposed for workload allocation and job dispatching. Workload...

Stochastic noises have a great adverse effect on the prediction accuracy of electric power load. Modeling online and filtering real-time can effectively improve measurement accuracy. Firstly, pretreating and inspecting statistically the electric power load data is essential to characterize the stochastic noise of electric power load. Then, set order for the time series model by Akaike informati...

With the increasing number of electric vehicles, a large charging loads connected to power system will have an impact on economic and safe operation system. In this paper day-ahead optimal dispatching method for distribution network (DN) with fast station (FCS) integrated photovoltaic (PV) energy storage (ES) is proposed deal negative FCS DN. By adjusting load DN through optimization decision E...

With the in-depth development of flexibility retrofit in combined heat and power (CHP) units, unit commitment mode energy supply equipment CHP plants is more flexible. This paper presents a multi-mode flexible operation method for with electrode electric boilers. Firstly, simulation model characteristics each different modes established, corresponding features electrical thermal outputs are obt...
