In this work, we present a generic multi‐period integrated infrastructure planning and
operational scheduling approach for developing energy systems. The methodology is …

This work presents a detailed case study for the optimization of the expansion of a district
energy system evaluating the investment decision timing, type of capacity expansion, and …

A proactive energy management strategy for a stand‐alone hybrid renewable energy system
is presented. The study was motivated by the system built in Lambton College (Sarnia …

Major characteristics of Hoffman's model are its comprehensiveness and its flexibility. As
shown by Hoffman's Figure 1, the supply chain for each energy resource is represented in …

In this paper, we address the integration of production planning and reactive scheduling for
the optimization of a hydrogen supply network consisting of five plants, four inter-connected …

The long term optimization of a district energy system is a computationally demanding task
due to the large number of data points representing the energy demand profiles. In order to …

Energy is one of the most critical international issues at the moment and most likely to be so
for the years to come. As part of the energy debate, it is becoming gradually accepted that …

This paper presents an optimization-based approach to address the problem of the optimal
daily energy scheduling of interconnected power systems in electricity markets. More …

Energy systems planning models identify least-cost strategies for expansion and operation
of energy systems and provide decision support for investment, planning, regulation, and …

We develop an extensive yet tractable framework for analyzing and optimally controlling
local energy networks. A local energy network is any set of generation, storage, and end-use …
