The power system restructuring has introduced competitiveness among different market players in electricity market and as a result transmission lines have to operate near to their thermal limits. System operators have a challenge to ensure reliable and secure transmission of power under these conditions. In this paper a rescheduling based congestion management solution is proposed for hybrid el...

The object-code compatibility problem in VLIW architectures stems from their statically scheduled nature. Dynamic rescheduling (DR) [1] is a technique to solve the compatibility problem in VLIWs. DR reschedules program code pages at rst-time page faults i.e., when the code pages are accessed for the rst time during execution. Treating a page of code as the unit of rescheduling makes it suscepti...

The present study considers a when-to-schedule policy in online production scheduling, which can be applicable to the timing of rescheduling under a dynamic environment with unforeseeable events. This paper extends our previous work and proposes a new hybrid policy for rescheduling introducing rescheduling driven by a cumulative delay and a forced rescheduling to maintain the quality of a curre...

AIM To review research in the literature on nursing shift scheduling / rescheduling, and to report key issues identified in a consultation exercise with managers in four English National Health Service trusts to inform the development of mathematical tools for rescheduling decision-making. BACKGROUND Shift rescheduling is unrecognised as an everyday time-consuming management task with differe...

Scheduling of production in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) has been extensively investigated over the past years and it continues to attract the interest of both academic researchers and practitioners. The generation of new and modified production schedules is becoming a necessity in today’s complex manufacturing environment. Genetic algorithms are used in this paper to obtain an initial...

Transmission congestion management is one of the critical and important tasks of the system operator. Transmission line congestion is considered to be more important as it may initiate the cascading outages which forces the system to collapse. This paper presents a transmission congestion management (CM) algorithm by optimal rescheduling of active powers of generators using firefly (FF) algorit...
