In this paper, a scheme based on generators and loads real and reactive power flow contribution factors has been presented for congestion management in pool based electricity markets. The system operator (SO) can identify the generators and loads based on these contribution factors for rescheduling their real and reactive power generation and loads to manage congestion. The real and reactive po...

In most real production environment, schedules are usually inevitable with the presence of a variety of unexpected disruptions. Thus it is necessary to develop predictive/reactive schedules which can absorb disruptions while maintaining high shop performance. In this paper, a robust predictive/reactive scheduling method is developed for solving job shop scheduling in dynamic environment. It con...

the paper discusses the current state of research concerning railway network timetabling and traffic management. timetable effectiveness is governed by frequency, regularity, accurate running, recovery and layover times, as well as minimal headway, buffer times and waiting times. analytic (queuing) models and stochastic microsimulation are predominantly used for estimation of waiting times and ...

Good resource scheduling plays a pivotal role in successful software development projects. However, effective resource scheduling is complicated by such disruptions as requirements changes, urgent bug fixing, incorrect or unexpected process execution, and staff turnover. Such disruptions demand immediate attention, but can also impact the stability of other ongoing projects. Dynamic resource re...

SATHAYE, SUMEDH WASUDEO Evolutionary Compilation for Object Code Compatibility and Performance. (Under the direction of Prof. Thomas M. Conte) Optimized code for high-performance systems can be generated using (1) the knowledge of processor microarchitecture, and, (2) the use of representative program pro les for pro le-based optimization. Decisions made during compilation using such informatio...

Transient Stability is an important issue in power systems planning, operation and extension. The objective of transient stability analysis problem is not satisfied with mere transient instability detection or evaluation and it is most important to complement it by defining fast and efficient control measures in order to ensure system security. This paper presents a new Fuzzy Support Vector Mac...

We combine genetic algorithms and case-based reasoning principles to nd optimally directed solutions to open shop scheduling and open shop rescheduling problems. Appropriate solutions to open shop scheduling problems are injected into the genetic algorithm's population to speed up and augment genetic search on a related open shop rescheduling problem. Preliminary results indicate that the combi...

This paper presents a novel approach to the (generation maintenance scheduling) GMS problem in electricity markets. The main contribution of this study is the modeling of a coordination procedure for an (independent system operator) ISO, based on a game-theoretic framework for the GMS problem. The GMS process of generation companies (Gencos) is designed as a non-cooperative dynamic game, and th...
