We present recent developments in two-stage mixed-integer stochastic programming with regard to application in power production planning. In particular, we review structural properties, stability issues, scenario reduction and decomposition algorithms for two-stage models. Furthermore, we describe an application to stochastic thermal unit commitment.

The German Armed Forces provide an operation contingent to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Response Force (NRF). To fulfill a mission, NRF operates number of technical systems, mostly vehicles. Each system is composed several parts which might fail over time, and it can only be used again in mission if all broken are replaced. For short deployments (e.g., one month), troop...

Due to the high randomness and volatility of renewable energy sources such as wind energy, traditional thermal unit commitment (UC) model is no longer applicable. In this paper, in order reduce possible negative effects an inaccurate forecast, chance-constrained programming (CCP) method used study UC problem with uncertainty power generation, chance constraints balance spinning reserve are sati...

recently, much attention has been given to stochastic demand due to uncertainty in the real -world. in the literature, decision-making models and suppliers' selection do not often consider inventory management as part of shopping problems. on the other hand, the environmental sustainability of a supply chain depends on the shopping strategy of the supply chain members. the supplier selection pl...
