With the development of More Electric Aircraft (MEA), novel power distribution systems (PDSs) are required to meet significantly increased electrical load demands onboard. Nevertheless, newer designs must comply with the strict flight operational and safety requirements, while achieving optimisation aims, such as reducing aircraft weight and energy consumption. This paper proposes a two-stage optimisation design method for a novel PDS investigated for MEA. Two optimal power scheduling-based models for minimising power losses and PDS weight are formulated in mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). The first model considers varying load demands and is solved for all flight stages simultaneously in the first design stage for weight minimisation. The obtained architecture is further optimised for all faulty scenarios and selected typical fight stages simultaneously in the second design stage to improve the PDS reliability. Consequently, a low power loss, light weighted, and fault-tolerant PDS architecture is obtained. A case study is provided to exemplify the improvement in the PDS by adopting the proposed method.

Clusterwise Regression (CLR) methods that jointly optimize clustering and regression tasks are useful for partitioning data into disjoint subsets with distinct regression trends. Due to the inherent difficulty in simultaneously optimizing clustering and regression objectives, it is not surprising that existing optimal CLR approaches do not scale beyond 100 s of data points. In an effort to provide more scalable and optimal CLR methods, we propose a novel formulation of the problem that takes inspiration from e-tubes in Support Vector Regression (SVR). The advantage of this novel formulation, which aims to assign data points to clusters in order to minimize the largest e-tube that encapsulates the regressed data, is that it admits an optimal MILP formulation. Furthermore, given that each constraint in our formulation corresponds to a single data point, we propose an efficient row generation solution that can optimally converge for the full dataset while only requiring optimization over a subset of the data. Our results on a variety of synthetic and benchmark real datasets show that our Clusterwise Regression MILP formulation provides near-optimal solutions up to 100,000 data points and the smallest data-encapsulating e-tubes among CLR alternatives.

The maritime industry is preparing for a future where human presence is no longer required on board of ships. This will revolutionize maritime operations and consequentially introduce unprecedented challenges to the corresponding logistics. This paper provides a first piece of reflection on mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problems regarding remote and autonomous operations in the maritime industry. A non-standard facility location problem (FLP) is constructed to determine the optimal locations for a number of facilities serving as refueling stations, and to obtain the optimal heterogeneous vessel fleet size & mix to satisfy the inspection demand of North-Sea assets over a multi-period timeframe. The model combines distinctive vessel routing behavior to assess a heterogeneous fleet of both remotely operated vessels and traditional vessels in the maritime survey industry. The simulation results are reported for a real case study commissioned by geo-data company Fugro. The final results of the model suggest that the effective establishment of facility locations and corresponding fleet allocation can reduce the operational costs and environmental footprint of the survey operations in the North-Sea.

In this paper, we study the Split Delivery Capacitated Profitable Tour Problem (SDCPTP) that extends the profitable tour problem by a fleet of vehicles and the possibility of split deliveries. In the SDCPTP, the objective is to select a subset of requests and find for each vehicle a feasible tour such that the prize collected by fulfilling the selected requests net of the cost of delivery is maximized. We propose three mixed-integer linear programming formulations for modeling the SDCPTP. These formulations differ primarily in their treatment of the subtour elimination constraints within the branch-and-cut algorithm. The first of these formulations is applicable to the more general asymmetric case, whereas the other two are computationally more efficient in presence of symmetric variants of the problem. Using benchmark instances from the literature, we provide a detailed numerical study that demonstrates the effectiveness of a state-of-the-art solver in tackling these models. For managerial insights, we perform a sensitivity analysis on the SDCPTP with respect to the number of vehicles and requests as well as the benefits of enabling split delivery.
