With the rapid increase of renewable energy sources (RESs), the virtual power plant model (VPP) has been developed to integrate RESs, energy storage systems (ESSs), and local customers to overcome the RESs' disadvantages. When the VPP's capacity is large enough, it can participate in the electricity market as a price-maker instead of a price-taker to obtain a higher profit. This study proposes a bi-level optimization model to determine the optimal trading strategies of a price-maker VPP in the day-ahead (DA) market. The operation schedule of the components in the VPP is also optimized to achieve the highest profit for the VPP. In the bi-level optimization problem, the upper-level model is maximizing the VPP's profit while the lower-level model is the DA market-clearing problem. The bi-level optimization problem is formulated as a Mathematical Problem with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC), reformulated to a mixedintegerlinear Problem (MILP), then solved by GAMS and CPLEX. This study applies the bi-level optimization model to a test VPP system, including wind plants (WP), solar plants (PV), biogas energy plants (BG), ESSs, and several customers. The maximum power outputs of WP and PV are 100MW and 90MW, respectively. The total installed capacity of BG is 70MW, while the ESS' rated capacity is 100MWh. The local customers have the highest total consumption of 100MW. In addition to the VPP, four GENCOs and three retailers participate in the DA market. The results show that the market-clearing price varies depending on the participants' production/consumption quantity and offering/bidding price. However, based on the optimization model, the VPP can take full advantage of WP and PV available power output, choose the right time to operate BG, then obtain the highest profit. The results also show that with the ESS' rated capacity of 100MWh, the ESS' rated discharging/charging power increased from 10MW to 50MW will increase VPP's profit from 45987$ to 49464$.

Given that about half of the produced energy in the world is consumed in industries, there has been an increasing con-cern about optimizing energy consumption in manufacturing sectors. As one of the most effective ways, proper produc-tion scheduling to reduce energy consumption is of crucial importance among researchers and manufacturers. This pa-per addresses an unrelated parallel machine energy-efficient scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times by considering different energy consumption tariffs. The setup times are studied in two modes: disjointed from/jointed to processing time. For each one of these problems, two mixed -integerlinearprogramming models have been formulated. The presented models for the problem with setup time disjointed from processing time can solve up to 16 machines and 45 jobs. In contrast, this capability is changed to 20 machines and 40 jobs for processing time jointed to the setup time problem. Furthermore, a fix and relax heuristic algorithm is presented for large-size instances, which can solve instances of up to 20 machines and 100 jobs for each of the two considered prob-lems.
