With the interaction of discrete-event and continuous processes, it is challenging to schedule
crude oil operations in a refinery. This paper studies the optimization problem of finding a …

With the interaction of discrete-event and continuous processes, the short-term scheduling
problem of crude oil operations is essentially combinatorial. Thus, it is preferred to develop …

In some refineries, storage tanks are located at two different sites, one for low-fusion-point
crude oil and the other for high one. Two pipelines are used to transport different oil types …

For sustainable development, a refinery is required to save energy as much as possible so
as to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas. In crude oil operations, oil transportation from …

This paper presents a methodology for the application of receding horizon optimization
techniques to the problem of optimally managing the energy flows in the chlor-alkali process …

To effectively operate a refinery and make it competitive, efficient short-term scheduling
techniques that utilize commercial software tools for practical applications need to be …

One of the main interested subjects in electric power systems is the integration of electric
vehicles to the existing power network as well as the influence of this integration with the …

In this work, a novel convex sequence framework for real-time receding horizon operation
optimization of a hybrid renewable energy system integrated with optimal sizing is presented …

Refinery manufacturing and the downstream oil-product distribution should be highly
integrated in the refinery supply chain system. However, systematic studies dealing with …

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a state-of-the-art (SOTA) control technique which requires
solving hard constrained optimization problems iteratively. For uncertain dynamics …
