MULTIPERIOD OPTIMAL POWER PLANT MIX UNDER DEMAND UNCERTAINTY

Approximation to Multistage Stochastic Optimization in Multiperiod Batch Plant Scheduling under Demand Uncertainty

Abstract We consider the problem of scheduling under demand uncertainty a multiproduct batch plant represented through the State Task Network. Given a scheduling horizon consisting of several time-periods in which product demands are placed, the objective is to select a schedule that maximizes the expected profit. We present a multistage stochastic Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model,...

Optimal Capacity Expansion Strategies under Demand Uncertainty

This paper presents a novel approach to compute optimal machine, shop oor and shell space expansion times under uncertain customer demand. It considers multiple machine types and allows for positive lead times for each type. Demand is assumed to be nondecreasing in a \weak" sense. A polynomial time algorithm (FIFEX) is developed and shown to be eeective and eecient with an example from the Semi...

Optimal Response to Burstable Billing under Demand Uncertainty

Burstable billing is widely adopted in practice, e.g., by colocation data center providers, to charge for their users, e.g. data centers, for transferring data. However, there is still a lack of research on what the best way is for a user to manage its workload in response to burstable billing. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose a novel method to optimally respond to burstable billing und...
