An optimal unit commitment for electric spot markets is presented in this paper. Unit commitment is a mixed integer and non-linear and complex combinatorial optimization problem which is difficult to be solved for large-scale ...

are introduced which are called length and width deviation coefficients. According to these parameters, a definition for layout in uncertain environment is presented and a mixed integer programming (MIP) model is developed. Moreover, two new objective functions...

Abstract – Unit commitment (UC) is a very significant optimization task. The unit commitment problem (UCP) involves the energy dispatch cost minimization in the competitive electric power market over a given scheduling ...

In this manuscript a new phenomenon of adjacency and closeness rating is proposed for constructing the optimal facility layout design. In the proposed approach, the closeness rating is applied to every pair of neighboring ...

Demand dispatch (DD) is an emerging key approach for optimal operation of today power distribution systems, which are faced with problems related to challenging technologies. DD enables dispatchable loads (DLs) to commit ...

We introduce the time constrained maximal covering salesman problem (TCMCSP) which is

the generalization of the covering salesman and orienting problems. In this problem, we are given

a set of vertices including ...
