Innovation-driven competitiveness is critical for a country's long run economic performance in today's knowledge-based global economy. Although several alternative measures of innovation, productivity, and competitiveness have been proposed, these concepts are inherently linked and this justifies the necessity of studying them in an integrated way, giving emphasis on their potential interrelations. This paper proposes a methodological measurement framework based on multiobjective mathematical programming in order to study the linkage among national innovation, productivity, and competitiveness and discover potential performance patterns. The model is applied in a set of European countries for the period 1998-2008. The empirical results reveal important gaps and show that innovativeness, income, and geographic area significantly affect national performances.

In this paper, a new stochastic multiobjective model for the market clearing of the joint energy and reserve auctions is proposed wherein both supply and demand sides can participate as reserves. The proposed framework considers the dynamic security aspect of the power system in the scenario-based market operation. To solve the problem, first, on the basis of lattice Monte Carlo simulation, different scenarios are generated to model the uncertainties of power system (including generating units and transmission line contingencies). Then, the competing objective functions of the proposed framework, including the expected social welfare function and expected corrected transient energy margin (CTEM), are simultaneously optimized for each scenario in the multiobjective framework. To calculate the CTEM, a sensitivity analysis based on the ac power flow formulation is incorporated before solving the optimization problem of the market clearing. The optimization problem is solved considering dc power flow constraints and system reserve requirements. Eventually, the scenarios are aggregated based on the expected value of decision variables to produce the final results of the market clearing framework. The model is applied to the New England test system, and simulation studies are implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper investigates mathematicalprogramming with equilibrium constraints including multiple interval-valued objective functions on Hadamard manifolds. In the first part, both necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for some types of efficient solutions are considered. After that, the Wolfe and Mond-Weir type dual problems are formulated and the duality relations under geodesic convexity assumptions are examined. Some examples are proposed to illustrate the results.

We attempt to establish an integrated portfolio optimization business framework, in order to bridge the underlying gap between the complex mathematical theory of multiobjective mathematical programming and asset management practice. Our aim is to assist practitioners and portfolio managers in formulating successful investment strategies, by providing them with an effective decision support tool. In particular, we propose a multiobjective portfolio model, able to support the simultaneous optimization of multiple investment objectives. We also manage to integrate a set of sophisticated real-world non-convex investment policy limitations, such as the cardinality constraints, the buy-in thresholds, the transaction costs, along with particular normative rules. The underlying investment management rationale of the proposed managerial protocol is displayed through an illustrative business flowchart, while we also provide an analytical step-by-step portfolio management business routine. The validity of the model is verified through an extended empirical testing application on the Eurostoxx 50. According to the results, a sufficient number of efficient or Pareto optimal portfolios produced by the model, appear to possess superior out-of-sample returns with respect to the underlying benchmark.

To regard environmental protection renewable energy sources especially wind, has been applied to achieve emission reduction goals. While wind generation does not directly produce air pollutants emission, it causes some changes on thermal power generation scheduling which may lead them to produce more air pollutants emission especially during low and medium energy demand periods. So it seems necessary to consider air pollutants emission level in wind-thermal scheduling problems. This paper proposes a methodology for wind-thermal scheduling in a power system with high penetration of wind power subject to consider air pollutants emission reduction. Because of simultaneous minimizing total operating cost and air pollutants emission, a multiobjective mathematical programming (MMP) is introduced. The computation of the required reserve levels and their costs is attained through a stochastic programming market-clearing model. Also, the network constraints and the costs of both the load shedding and the wind spillage are considered. The usefulness of the proposed approach was tested through an IEEE 30-bus test system.

A multi-objective mixed integer programming model for equity portfolio construction and selection is developed in this study, in order to generate the Pareto optimal portfolios, using a novel version of the well known epsilon-constraint method. Subsequently, an interactive filtering process is also proposed to assist the decision maker in making his/her final choice among the Pareto solutions. The proposed methodology is tested through an application in the Athens Stock Exchange.

Economic load dispatch is the method of determining the most efficient, low-cost and reliable operation of a power system by dispatching the available electricity generation resources to supply the load on the system. Environmental concerns that arise due to the operation of fossil fuel fired electric generators, change the classical problem into multiobjective emission/economic dispatch (MEED) which is formulated as a constrained nonlinear multiobjective mathematical programming (MMP). The proposed MEED formulation includes emission minimization objective, AC load flow constraints and security constraints of the power system which usually are found simultaneously in real-world power systems. The proposed model has a more accurate evaluation of transmission losses obtained from the load flow equations. The MMP approach based on c-constraint algorithm has been proposed for generating Pareto-optimal solutions of power systems MEED problem. Moreover, fuzzy decision making process is employed to extract one of the Pareto-optimal solutions as the best compromise nondominated solution. The proposed approach is simulated on the IEEE 30-bus six-generator test system and obtained results have been comprehensively compared with some of the most recently published research in the area (from the both aspects of precision and execution tome) which confirms the potential and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, a stochastic multiobjective framework is proposed for a day-ahead short-term Hydro Thermal Self-Scheduling (HTSS) problem for joint energy and reserve markets. An efficient linear formulations are introduced in this paper to deal with the nonlinearity of original problem due to the dynamic ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zones, operating services of thermal plants, multi-head power discharge characteristics of hydro generating units and spillage of reservoirs. Besides, system uncertainties including the generating units' contingencies and price uncertainty are explicitly considered in the stochastic market clearing scheme. For the stochastic modeling of probable multiobjective optimization scenarios, a lattice Monte Carlo simulation has been adopted to have a better coverage of the system uncertainty spectrum. Consequently, the resulting multiobjective optimization scenarios should concurrently optimize competing objective functions including GENeration COmpany's (GENCO's) profit maximization and thermal units' emission minimization. Accordingly, the epsilon-constraint method is used to solve the multiobjective optimization problem and generate the Pareto set. Then, a fuzzy satisfying method is employed to choose the most preferred solution among all Pareto optimal solutions. The performance of the presented method is verified in different case studies. The results obtained from epsilon-constraint method is compared with those reported by weighted sum method, evolutionary programming-based interactive Fuzzy satisfying method, differential evolution, quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization and hybrid multi-objective cultural algorithm, verifying the superiority of the proposed approach.

One of the important capabilities of Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is the injecting/absorbing of harmonic current to/from the grid. In this paper, a multiobjective framework is proposed to improve the power quality of the grid by PHEVs. In this study, each PHEV is modeled as an injected harmonic current source, including different harmonic orders. The objective functions are: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of network nodes and the Total PHEV Current (TPC) index, both to be minimized. The multiobjective optimization problem is solved using the epsilon-constraint method. The best compromise solution among various non-dominated (Pareto optimal) solutions is chosen based on a fuzzy approach. A typical 14-node microgrid test system is considered in the case study to examine the effectiveness of the proposed method. (C) 2014 Sharif University of Technology. All rights reserved.
