Multi-Footprint Constrained Energy Sector Planning

A Mathematical Model for Multi-Region, Multi-Source, Multi-Period Generation Expansion Planning in Renewable Energy for Country-Wide Generation-Transmission Planning

Environmental pollution and rapid depletion are among the chief concerns about fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Renewable energy sources do not suffer from such limitations and are considered the best choice to replace fossil fuels. The present study develops a mathematical model for optimal allocation of regional renewable energy to meet a country-wide demand and its other essential as...

Air-Traffic Complexity Resolution in Multi-Sector Planning

Using constraint programming, we effectively model and efficiently solve the problem of balancing and minimising the traffic complexities of an airspace of adjacent sectors. The traffic complexity of a sector is here defined in terms of the numbers of flights within it, near its border, and on non-level segments within it. The allowed forms of complexity resolution are the changing of the take-...

Impulsive-actuation Part Positioning through Constrained Energy Balance Planning

Impulsive actuation has been researched in the past two decades as an inexpensive alternative to multi-degree-of-freedom precision positioning systems. The position of a sliding workpiece can be controlled by a 2-degree-offreedom actuation system through simple pushing path planning. However, the final part position as a result of the last touch of the actuator is subject to uncertainty in the ...

Constrained Multi-Objective Trajectory Planning of Parallel Kinematic Machines

This paper presents a new approach to multi-objective dynamic trajectory planning of Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKM) under task, workspace and manipulator constraints. The robot kinematic and dynamic models, (including actuators) are first developed. Then the proposed trajectory planning system is introduced. It minimizes electrical and kinetic energy, robot travel time separating two samplin...
