Optimal Scheduling of Refinery Crude-Oil Operations
This thesis deals with the development of mathematical models and algorithms for optimizing refinery crude-oil operations schedules. The problem can be posed as a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP), thus combining two major challenges of operations research: combinatorial search and global optimization. First, we propose a unified modeling approach for scheduling problems that aims at brid...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms applied to scheduling and optimization of refinery operations
This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm-based method to optimize the production schedule of the fuel oil and asphalt section in a petroleum refinery. Two Genetic Algorithm models were developed to establish the sequence and size of all production shares. A special mutation operator was also proposed to minimize the number of changes in the production. A multi-objective fitness evaluation techni...
متن کاملLagrangian Perturbation Approach to the Formation of Large–scale Structure
The present lecture notes address three columns on which the Lagrangian perturbation approach to cosmological dynamics is based: 1. the formulation of a Lagrangian theory of self–gravitating flows in which the dynamics is described in terms of a single field variable; 2. the procedure, how to obtain the dynamics of Eulerian fields from the Lagrangian picture, and 3. a precise definition of a Ne...
متن کاملOptimizing scheduling of refinery operations based on piecewise linear models
Optimizing scheduling is an effective way to improve the profit of refineries; it usually requires accurate models to describe the complex and nonlinear refining processes. However, conventional nonlinear models will result in a complex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem for scheduling. This paper presents a piecewise linear (PWL) modeling approach, which can describe global no...
متن کاملGlobal optimization for scheduling refinery crude oil operations
In this work we present an Outer-Approximation algorithm to obtain the global optimum of a nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model for the scheduling of crude oil movement at the front-end of a petroleum refinery. The model relies on a continuous time representation making use of transfer events. The proposed technique focuses on effectively solving a Mixed Integer Linear Pr...
