In railway traffic management, when an unexpected event perturbs the system, finding an effective train routing and scheduling in real-time is a key issues. Making the right routing and scheduling decisions may have a great impact on the efficiency of the system in terms of delay propagation. However, the time available for making these decisions is quite short: in few minutes a viable set of routes and schedules must be delivered to the dispatching system. In this paper, we assess the performance of a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation exploited as a heuristic approach: we seek for the best feasible solution given a limited and predefined computation time. We run an experimental analysis on instances representing traffic in the Lille Flandres station, France. The results show that the approach tested is very promising, often finding the optimal solution to the instances tackled. Moreover, we show how the performance can be improved by tuning the parameters of the MILP solver.

This study deals with scheduling of Burn-in Oven (BO), a Batch Processing Machine (BPM) in the testing stage of Semiconductor Manufacturing (SM) process. We consider a new problem configuration, close to real-life machining environment, wherein multiple BOs having different capacity are employed parallelly to process the variety of jobs. Jobs have non-agreeable release date & due date, non-identical processing time and non-identical job size. An early completion of job at BO is penalized with earliness penalty whereas late completion of job at BO causes a lateness penalty. In the current Just in Time (JIT) manufacturing scenario, an organization aims to minimize both the penalties (cost). Hence, this study aims to minimize the total weighted earliness/lateness of the jobs. We propose a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for dynamic scheduling of (a) single, and (b) multiple BOs. Each of the proposed MILP are validated by developing a suitable numerical example.

This paper extends a recently developed approach to the optimal path planning of an autonomous vehicle in an obstacle field to three dimensions with specific applications to terrestrial navigation, with obstacle, terrain, and threat avoidance. We present a scenario where this approach can be applied to a rotorcraft performing nap-of-the-Earth flight in challenging terrain with multiple known surface threats, in both urban and non-urban type settings. mixed-integerlinearprogramming (MILP) is the underlying problem formulation, from which an optimal solution can be obtained through the use of a commercially available MILP solver such as CPLEX. The solution obtained would be optimal in terms of the cost function specified in terms of fuel, time, altitude and threat exposure, and other predefined criteria. A receding horizon implementation of this MILP algorithm makes it suitable for real-time or near real-time applications

currently, the methods for solving the planning of distribution network (DN) are meta-heuristic algorithms whose computational efficiency is low and the results are not accurate. Therefore, this paper uses the advanced mixed integer linear programming (MILP) technology to model the multi-conductor DN planning containing the allocation of distributed generator (DG). Firstly, replace power flow calculation with an equivalent cone programming, then remove the product terms of binary and continuous variables, and finally use polyhedral models which are linear to approximate the planning model. In addition, as the siting and sizing of DG are added to the network planning, the situation that part of the loads are supplied by the DG separately perhaps appear thus leading to the appearance of loops. So the spanning tree (ST) constraints are introduced to the model to ensure the radiation of the DN. Finally, 23-node distribution system is used to simulate the above-mentioned model, and the results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model.

Microgrids can offer various benefits to electricity consumers, but these benefits must he compared with the corresponding investment cost for ensuring financial feasibility. This paper is focused on the problem of optimally sizing, from an economic perspective, the Distributed Energy Resources included in a DC Microgrid, determining the optimal niix of Distributed Generators and Energy Storage Systems, taking also into account the opportunities of Load Management. The proposed procedure is based on mixed integer linear programming and allows to determine the optimal sizes of Distributed Energy Resources which minimize the Microgrid Total Cost of Ownership, given location and load characteristics. The procedure is formulated as a quite general method that can he used for different microgrid architectures and different generation and storage technologies, although in this paper it is applied to a grid-connected DC microgrid with PV generation and storage system. Results of numerical applications to a case study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed sizing procedure.

The total amount of available resource of the system is variable at different times. Numerical experimentation is conducted to evaluate the performance variability between two introduced models. The objective of this optimization problem is to minimize the total weighted completion time.

Unmanned systems swarm task allocation is one of the key issues of unmanned systems collaborative control. Aiming at the multiple objectives and multiple constraints task allocation issue of unmanned systems swarm, under the multi-constrained conditions of comprehensively considering the benefits of unmanned systems swarm against multiple targets, weapon costs, disabling costs, time costs and energy costs, taking the largest net income, the smallest number of unmanned systems dispatched, and the least number of weapons carried by unmanned systems as the optimization goals respectively, the mathematical models of multi-constrained task allocation based on mixed integer linear programming is established. The Cplex solver is used to solve the specific examples. And the calculation results are analyzed. The results show that the task allocation model based on "platform-weapon-target" can effectively solve the assignment issue of multi-constraint unmanned system swarm.

The integration of hybrid energy systems (HES) into the electric power grid is gaining traction due to the need of establishing a clean and sustainable energy system for satisfying the increasing load demand. Such integration enables integration of renewable energy sources in the form of HES that is scalable from small as well as large-scale integration. Nevertheless, the commonly preferred renewable energy sources (RESs), such as, solar and wind energy have significantly limited economic feasibility owing to their unpredictability and intermittency. Energy storage systems (ESSs) are among the key solutions to mitigate the impact of variable renewable energy sources on the grid by acting as an energy buffer. In this paper, a multiperiod optimization technique is formulated for the appropriate scheduling of ESSs in a HES that acts as a model of a residential district consisting of several houses with installed PV systems and connections to the main electricity grid. To further verify the method's effectiveness, the results are obtained for both summer and winter season scenarios.

Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as mixedintegerlinear Programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm to solve this class of optimization problems in a peer-to-peer network with no coordinator and with limited computation and communication capabilities. In the proposed algorithm, at each communication round, agents solve locally a small LP, generate suitable cutting planes, namely intersection cuts and cost-based cuts, and communicate a fixed number of active constraints, i.e., a candidate optimal basis. We prove that, if the cost is integer, the algorithm converges to the lexicographically minimal optimal solution in a finite number of communication rounds. Finally, through numerical computations, we analyze the algorithm convergence as a function of the network size.
