This paper presents new mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approaches for handling
preemption both in discrete and continuous-time scheduling formulations. Preemption refers …

The participation of power-intensive chemical processes in demand response programs is
seen to provide grid stability and potentially reduce the operating costs of these processes …

A challenge in planning the operations of multisite production networks is the need to
simultaneously balance production across sites while satisfying customers demand and …

We analyze economic opportunities for industrial facilities provided by frequency regulation
(FR) markets. We use classical frequency domain analysis techniques to characterize the …

In this article, we address the optimal scheduling of continuous air separation processes
with electricity purchased from the day-ahead market, for which we propose a generalized …

Industrial demand response, whereby energy-intensive industrial processes shift their
production to take advantage of time-varying electricity prices, is a popular topic of recent …

Abstract Demand Side Management (DSM) scheme in smart grid technology provides a
broader vision of the electricity consumers to participate in power management in the future …

Integrated optimization of the procurement cost of electric energy with production planning is
increasingly considered in various industries. The traditional approach in industry is …

Power systems operations involve dispatching generation capacity and ancillary services as
required to sustain reliable functioning of the electric grid. The dispatch schedules are …

Existing approaches for representing chemical production scheduling problems are problem-
class-specific and are limited in terms of the characteristics, constraints, and data that they …
