In this paper, a deterministic bounding procedure for the global optimization of mixed-integer bi-level programming problem is proposed. The aim has been to develop an efficient algorithm deal with case study in electricity retail market. problem, retailer wants define time-of-use tariff structure maximize profits, but he take into account consumers’ reaction by means re-scheduling appliance op...

In order to improve the level of new energy consumption and reduce dependence power system on traditional fossil energy, this paper proposed a bi-level optimization model for virtual plant member selection by means coordination complementarity among different sources, aiming at optimizing economy clean capacity combining it with time sequence load consumption. The method comprises following ste...

______________________ Abstract: Bi-level programming, a tool for modeling decentralized decisions, consists of the objective(s) of the leader at its first level and that is of the follower at the second level. Three level programming results when second level is itself a bi-level programming. By extending this idea it is possible to define multi-level programs with any number of levels. Supply...
