While fossil fuels supplied around 90% of the developed world's energy in 2008, the resulting CO2 emissions took a tremendous toll on the environment. As power plants, factories, and oil refineries are the largest CO2 emitters, it is vital to fmd greener ways to extract, refme and utilize fossil fuels. In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model which is intended to help decision makers evaluate the operational cost of different alternatives for reducing CO2 emissions at petroleum refmeries such as powering the refineries using renewable energy sources. To validate our model, we solve several small-size instances of the problem using the BARON solver in GAMS.
This paper proposes the resolution of the optimal reactive dispatch (ORD) problem for the combined objective of minimizing active power losses and voltage profile improvement on load buses considering discrete variabl...
