In this work, a novel superstructure-based optimization framework is proposed for batch process scheduling problems. The framework uses a novel maximal flow unit network (m-FUN) representation of the batch processes for the scheduling. The m-FUN representation is developed based on the material flow in and around the processes and storage vessels. The proposed m-FUN framework results in a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem and is applied to optimize three case studies taken from the literature. The efficacy of the proposed framework is tested with multiple instances with increasing scheduling horizons and various objectives. The results of this study are compared with other popular solution methods available in the literature. The proposed framework attains the same objective, demonstrating its efficacy in rigorously representing the process nuances and characteristics. Inherent material flow representation in the proposed framework enables seamless incorporation of utility flows, which will be beneficial in integrating utility network design along with the batch scheduling problem.

Open pit mines contain ore to be extracted from the surface downwards to obtain a profit. This is achieved using large pieces of equipment with significant space requirements to extract the material from the surface. Unfortunately, the industry currently lacks a standard methodology for optimizing the designs of these spaces;current practice may lead to inconsistent, subjective and suboptimal results. Automatic design of practicable portions of the mines called pushbacks is a desirable tool for the mining industry. This article proposes a new approach based on an integer linear programming model (ILP) determining the volumes to be extracted to maximize profit while respecting geospatial and design constraints. Design constraints require that the minimum width be respected at the bottom of the mine and between successive pushbacks. The ILP is applied to three case studies to show that the model can generate practical solutions in minutes.

Traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems face significant challenges in accurately measuring dynamic changes in power systems, owing to their limited sampling rates and lack of time synchronization. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), with their high sampling rates (30-60 Hz) and GPS synchronization, offer a superior alternative for real-time monitoring and simplified state estimation. This study introduces a novel optimization algorithm designed to determine the optimal placement of PMUs in the Hungarian transmission network. The algorithm employs mixed-integer linear programming implemented using Python and MATLAB to achieve comprehensive network observability with minimal PMU deployment. The Hungarian network graph was constructed from data provided in the Union for the Coordination of Transmission of Electricity (UCTE) data exchange format, and the placement algorithm was applied. The results indicate that full network observability can be achieved by placing the PMUs at approximately one-third of the buses. Furthermore, the algorithm provides a strategic sequence for PMU placement, ensuring maximum information capture with each additional PMU while prioritizing critical buses such as those connected to major power plants and cross-border transmission lines. This method is scalable and can be adapted for any power network provided in the UCTE data exchange format.

The aim of this letter is to design and computationally test several improvements for the compact integer linear programming (ILP) formulations of the temporal bin packing problem with fire-ups (TBPP-FU). This problem is a challenging generalization of the classical bin packing problem in which the items, interpreted as jobs of given weight, are active only during an associated time window. The TBPP-FU objective function asks for the minimization of the weighted sum of the number of bins, viewed as servers of given capacity, to execute all the jobs and the total number of fire-ups. The fire-ups count the number of times the servers are activated due to the presence of assigned active jobs. Our contributions are effective procedures to reduce the number of variables and constraints of the ILP formulations proposed in the literature as well as the introduction of new valid inequalities. By extensive computational tests we show that substantial improvements can be achieved and several instances from the literature can be solved to proven optimality for the first time.
