An adjustable robust optimization approach to scheduling of continuous industrial processes providing interruptible load
To ensure the stability of the power grid, backup capacities are called upon when electricity supply does not meet demand due to unexpected changes in the grid. As part of the dem...

Mixed-integer bilevel optimization for capacity planning with rational markets
We formulate the capacity expansion planning as a bilevel optimization to model the hierarchical decision structure involving industrial producers and consumers. The formulation i...

An MILP-MINLP decomposition method for the global optimization of a source based model of the multiperiod blending problem
The multiperiod blending problem involves binary variables and bilinear terms, yielding a nonconvex MINLP. In this work we present two major contributions for the global solution ...

Risk-based integrated production scheduling and electricity procurement for continuous power-intensive processes
For optimal operation of power-intensive plants, production scheduling and electricity procurement have to be considered simultaneously. In addition, uncertainty needs to be taken...
