Generation scheduling is a most important task in the operation and planning of power system. It can be on real term, short term, medium term, and long term basis as per the scheduled horizon. Scheduling of purely hydroelectric system differ from the thermal scheduling and hydrothermal scheduling problems in two aspects firstly fuel cost for the thermal part of the system can no longer be used ...

Distributed renewable energy, loads, and power sources can be aggregated into virtual plants (VPPs) to participate in energy market transactions generate additional revenue. In order better coordinate the transaction relationships among various entities within VPPs, this paper proposes a two-stage optimization model for VPPs that considers user-VPP-equipment alliance. Firstly, starting from bas...

While sophisticated systems for both process control and production planning enjoy a wide industrial acceptance, tools for batch process scheduling represent a serious gap in the fully automated batch plant. Despite over fifteen years of academic research in batch scheduling algorithms and Moore’s law increases in computing power, spreadsheets and calculators remain the state-of-the-art means f...

task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and np-hard problem. in this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. these two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the other on...

it is expected that, compared with other power plants, changes in fuel cost for power plants in the deregulated electricity market leads to changes in the generation capacity of wind power plants. to quantify this effect, this article aims at modeling energy generation capacity and supply or distribution of different power plants as opposed to those of wind power plants. the proposed model was ...

Nuclear power reactors are, in nature nonlinear and time varying. These characteristics must be considered, if large power variations occur in their working regime. In this paper a robust optimal gain scheduling controller for regulating the power of a nuclear reactor has been designed and simulated. The proposed controller is capable of regulating power levels in a wide power range (10% to 100...
