Optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), to ensure complete observability of power system, should not only be decided at the base case operating conditions but also must consider the contingency cases. This paper presents a simple and effective method for optimal placement of PMUs considering critical contingencies. A voltage stability based contingency screening method has been utilized to select critical contingency cases. An integer linear programming (ILP) based algorithm for the PMU placement has been modified to determine optimal PMU locations under the system intact and the critical contingency cases. The proposed method is tested on the IEEE 14-bus system, New England 39-bus system and Northern Region Power Grid (NRPG) 246-bus Indian system and the test results have been compared with three more modified PMU placement methods viz. depth first search, direct spanning tree and direct N-1 spanning tree methods.

The Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (MRCPSP) is a generalization of the well known Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). The most common exact approaches for solving this problem are based on branch-and-bound algorithms, mixed integer linear programming and Boolean satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we present a new exact approach for solving this problem, using Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). We provide two encodings into SMT and several reformulation and preprocessing techniques. The optimization algorithm that we propose uses an SMT solver as an oracle, and depending on its answer is able to update the encoding for the next optimization step. We report extensive performance experiments showing the utility of the proposed techniques and the good performance of our approach that allows us to close several open instances.

Traditional round-trip car rental systems mandate users to return vehicles to their point of origin, limiting the system's adaptability to meet diverse mobility demands. This constraint often leads to fleet under-utilization and incurs high parking costs for idle vehicles. To address this inefficiency, we propose a N-user matching algorithm which is designed to facilitate one-way trips within the round-trip rental framework. Our algorithm addresses the joint problem of optimal pricing and user matching through a Two-Stage integer linear programming (ILP)-based formulation. In the first stage, optimal rental prices are determined by setting a risk factor that governs the likelihood of matching a set of N-user. The second stage involves maximizing expected profit through a novel ILP-based user-matching formulation. Testing our algorithm on real-world scenarios demonstrates an approximate 35 % increase in demand fulfillment. Additionally, we assess the model's robustness under uncertainty by varying factors such as the risk factor (probability of user's ride acceptance at the offered price), cost factor (rental cost-to-fare ratio), and maximum chain length.

The Electric Vehicle has became viable option not only for individual drivers but also for the industries or government-affiliated organizations who own fleet vehicles. Before replacement of vehicles, construction of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) has to be preceded. In order to establish optimal EVSE configuration, not only the locations but also the number of charging stations should be decided. Besides, as various types of chargers provide significantly different charging rates, what kind of chargers will be installed should also be taken into consideration. The optimal deployment of EV charging stations should both meet the charging demand and minimize the total cost including installation and operation at the same time. We formulate the problem as optimization framework utilizing fleet-vehicles mobility data, and present solutions based on integer linear programming. We propose a robust methodology which provides the location and the number of type of EVSE and validate our methodology by comparing costs and the ratio of covered trips, which provides practical comparison for fleet organizations.

Nurse rostering problem(NPR) is a complex optimization problem that appears in health care institutions. Even though a number of algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem, in real-life settings, software tools capable of generating high quality nurse rostering is still unavailable due to various reasons. To solve this issue in a local hospital, we implement a nurse rostering system in Excel that helps managers in charge to build rosters. The problem is modeled by an integer linear programming formulation and a variable neighborhood search algorithm is adopted to solve the optimization problem. Important issues like continuity and fairness are also addressed in the model. Data sets derived from real life settings and randomly generated instances are used to test the solver compared with commercial integerprogramming solver. Results indicate that the spreadsheet based rostering tool is capable of finding high quality solutions for all instances within acceptable time limits.

Since a semiconductor foundry plant manufactures a wide range of memory and logic products using the make-to-order business model, the product mix is an important production decision. This paper first describes the characteristics of the product mix planning problem in foundry manufacturing that are attributable to the long flow time and queuing network behaviors. The issues of time bucket selection, mix optimization and bottleneck-based planning are next addressed. A decision software system based on integer linear programming techniques and a heuristic procedure have been implemented for mix planning. It was determined that the suitable time bucket of planning is either one week or one month and the lead-time offset factor should be included in the logic of workload calculation. This paper also presents various facets of product mix decisions and how they should be integrated with operations management.
