In this study, the supply chain system of the food supply chain (FSC) is assessed. Initially, the operations of farmers are examined using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. Then, locations of relatively efficient farmers are used as potential collection sites for the distribution at the downstream operations. Next, the multi-objective Optimization Model is proposed to examine location and distribution channels under the sustainability paradigm. That is, the economic criterion is primarily considered by focusing on minimizing the total supply cost. The social criterion is next deliberated by evaluating the equality aspect of farmers for the fair proportion of vegetable supply. Then, the environmental criterion is incorporated by assessing the CO2 emissions of food transportation activity. Additionally, a trade-off analysis is analyzed to investigate the conflicting behavior of model using the Non-Preemptive programming method. The sensitivity analysis is further examined by varying the time-requirement parameter to verify the model functionalities. Finally, the regional case study in Thailand based on the food supply data is applied to validate the model. Given that farmers are distant from diverse locations, the results of our study can provide a strategic choice for key decision-makers in the FSC network under sustainability consideration.

The point merge system (PMS) was developed by EUROCONTROL in 2006 to enable controllers to implement systematic sequences and replace the traditional vector technique in Terminal Maneuver Area (TMA) even during peak hours. A conventional PMS includes two arc-shaped route segments referred to as sequencing legs and a single merge point to merge arrivals. When necessary, arrivals can be delayed along these legs using path stretching before they are directed to the merge point. After merging, aircraft join the final approach. The parallel-point merge system (P-PMS), however, has a more complex route structure which consists of two oppositely located PMS and a set of common points located between the merge points and final paths of runways. This system increases the capacity of the airspace and provides the advantages of the single PMS. However, especially in simulation studies where P-PMS has been tested, the emphasis on wind sensitivity came to the fore as one of the main issues affecting the use of the system. The use of P-PMS was stated as feasible but more difficult due to the loss of symmetry, especially when the wind is perpendicular to the sequencing legs. Controllers may need help in providing safe and efficient sequences in this type of structure. In this study, a multi-objective two-stage stochastic programming model is developed for P-PMS to obtain robust aircraft sequences, schedules, and runway assignments considering the uncertainties of both wind direction and speed. The model was implemented on the existing layout of Istanbul Airport having a P-PMS serving five parallel runways using the real traffic and wind data. A scenario-based approach was adopted to represent the uncertainties of the model. Also, to meet the demands of the various stakeholders in the air traffic system, the minimization of total fuel consumption, total flight time, and total delays were considered as single and multi-objectives. As a result, it was found that the stochastic approa

This paper proposes a multi-objective preventative-emergency coordinated control (MO-PECC) method for high wind-penetrated power systems. The method facilitates utility-grade energy storage (ES) to realize post-contingency emergency control, and can generate indicator of system instability risk for solution sets. Once an unstable post-contingency system is detected, the ES systems immediately react for power injection/retraction, thus achieving emergency control to alleviate short-term system power imbalance and stabilizing the system together with synchronous generators. Numerical tests are performed on a modified IEEE-39 system, in which 3 synchronous generators are replaced by 3 same-scale wind farms. The test results verified the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated method, and the calculating time is relatively small, which is suitable for online calculation.

A price determination mode for large consumers is proposed under the present environments with large consumers purchasing electric power from the electricity supply utility in some area in Yunnan. With abundant waterpower in Yunnan, most of consumed electric power of large consumers is signed in the form of contracts. The contract price is determined by optimizing resources and maximizing profits of the supply utility. The different price is in accordance with different demand-price elasticity of large consumers. The difference between planned and actual consumption power is balanced in two spot markets. Because of the randomicity of spot price and trading power, the sale price of the supply utility in spot market is calculated based on stochastic programming. At last, simulation verifies the rationality of the models, which solves a part of problems faced by the supply utility in selling electricity to large consumers.

In a previous study, we solved the two-fold dynamic ambulance allocation problem, including forecasting the distribution of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) requesters and dynamically allocating ambulances according to the predicted distribution of requesters. In the definition of the coverage region, the Euclidean distance was used, which is not suitable for measuring the length of a route between two places. This study improved on the previous one by redefining the coverage region for practical application and providing a simulation model to verify the effectiveness of the proposed ambulance allocation method. The simulation results show the proposed allocation method providing higher demand coverage rates and shorter response distances than the official allocation.
