Premiums for renewable energy are being reduced as a consequence of the world economic crisis. This paper models the trading of the energy generated by a photovoltaic generator. The problem is solved through stochastic mixed integer linear programming where the objective function aims at maximizing the profit of selling the photovoltaic production in the day-ahead market. The model is tested without any premium and market and imbalance market prices are forecasted using AR, MA and ARIMA models while photovoltaic production is simulated using Montecarlo method. The model is tested for a case study where the behaviour of the offer, imbalances, incomes and costs is analyzed.

Emergency Departments (ED) is the center of the hospital management's efforts. It constitutes a complex system with limited resources and random demands. The goal of this paper is to optimize the number of the human and material resources. We focus particularly on medical staff (physicians and nurses) and beds in emergency department. We propose a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) that minimizes the number of waiting patients. We consider simultaneously four patients' queue. To solve this model, we use the solver ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio. The program has been tested on a set of instances. Numerical results show that the number of waiting patients decreased by optimizing the number of the human and material resources.

This paper proposes a stochastic, multi-objective optimization model within a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework, to determine the optimal operational schedules of residential appliances operating in the presence of renewable energy source (RES). The objective function minimizes the weighted sum of discomfort, energy cost, total and peak electricity consumption, and carbon footprint. A heuristic method is developed for combining different objective components. The proposed stochastic model utilizes Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) for representing uncertainties in electricity price, outdoor temperature, RES generation, water usage, and non-controllable loads. The proposed model is solved using a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) solver and numerical results show the validity of the model. Case studies show the benefit of using the proposed optimization model.

This paper presents a model to optimally select and operate energy storage devices attached to renewable energy generators connected to power distribution systems. The purpose is to supply a load during specific periods, considering the intermittence of the renewable energy resources and variable electricity rates. Thus, it was developed a database containing information obtained from catalogs of Lithium-Ion and Lead-Acid batteries manufacturers. The problem was formulated according to a mixed integer linear programming model, which was solved by LINDO code. A case study is presented and analyzed using the proposed methodology. The primary conclusions relate to the behavior of the proposed model in the short period of a day and how it should be improved in order to be adapted for a longer period.

In this paper, we investigate maximizing the profit achieved by infrastructure providers (InPs) from embedding virtual network requests (VNRs) in IP/WDM core networks with clouds. We develop a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to study the impact of maximizing the profit on the power consumption and acceptance of VNRs. The results show that higher acceptance rates do not necessarily lead to higher profit due to the high cost associated with accepting some of the requests. The results also show that minimum power consumption can be achieved while maintaining the maximum profit.

This paper addresses urban traffic signal control in a scheduling framework, where the dynamics of an urban traffic network controlled by traffic lights is described by a novel model, which inserts mixed logical constraints into a cell transmission flow dynamic model, capable of capturing the nonlinear relationship between each outgoing link flow rate and the corresponding upstream and downstream link capacities and the past traffic light signals. With a control goal of minimizing the total network-wise delay time, we translate the traffic signal control problem into a centralized mixed integer linear programming problem solvable by several existing tools, e.g., CPLEX. To overcome the potentially high complexity involved in the centralized approach, we propose a distributed scheduling strategy based on Lagrangian relaxation and subgradient method. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed traffic light scheduling approach.

A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for scheduling of the short-term operation of a price-taker hydroelectric plant is presented. The objective of the model is to maximize the profit of energy production in the next hours' operations. Non-linear production curves of hydro power units are considered through a piecewise representation. A detailed modeling of the hydro network is also described. Realistic test-cases of Los Molles and Sauzal-Sauzalito power plants, both part of the Enel group operations in Chile, are analyzed in detail. Results of real operation are compared to the schedules produced with the model showing the potential of the proposed approach in the industry.

Many models have been recently developed for the optimization of biomass related supply chains. However, models for biopower supply chains powered by animal waste have not received much attention yet. In this paper, we propose a mixed integer linear programming model for supplier selection and procurement planning for a biopower plant. The model integrates time window constraints for the collection of animal waste as well as inventory constraints. We show that the model is intractable with a state-of-the art commercial solver and propose a heuristic approach based on the Adaptive Large Neighbourhood Search (ALNS) framework. We show the efficiency of this approach on a case study in central France.

Objects' spatial layout estimation and clutter identification are two important tasks to understand indoor scenes. We propose to solve both of these problems in a joint framework using RGBD images of indoor scenes. In contrast to recent approaches which focus on either one of these two problems, we perform 'fine grained structure categorization' by predicting all the major objects and simultaneously labeling the cluttered regions. A conditional random field model is proposed to incorporate a rich set of local appearance, geometric features and interactions between the scene elements. We take a structural learning approach with a loss of 3D localisation to estimate the model parameters from a large annotated RGBD dataset, and a mixed integer linear programming formulation for inference. We demonstrate that our approach is able to detect cuboids and estimate cluttered regions across many different object and scene categories in the presence of occlusion, illumination and appearance variations.
