The competitive, profitable, and safe operation of chemical plants depends on tight and
effective coordination among the different decision making levels of the enterprise, including …

Intermittent solar and wind availabilities pose design and operational challenges for
renewable power systems because they are asynchronous with consumer demand. To align …

Energy efficiency improvement and environmental impact reduction are emerging issues in
the manufacturing industry. Aside from cutting, metal forming is also an important process in …

The flexible operation of continuous processes often requires the integration of scheduling
and control. This can be achieved by top-down or bottom-up approaches. We compare the …

Abstract 21 st century energy production, conversion, and delivery systems need to go
through a transition to be less carbon-intensive while meeting an increasing energy …

Successful integration of intermittent renewable resources into the energy mix is
instrumental to meet the growing global energy demand while reducing the carbon …

Supply chain operations and scheduling are well-studied problems in the literature.
Although these problems are related, they are often solved sequentially. This uncoordinated …

In this work, a novel optimisation-simulation based on the Recursive Optimisation-
Simulation Approach (ROSA) methodology is developed to provide effective decision …

Intermittent renewable energy resources like wind and solar introduce uncertainty across
multiple time scales, from minutes to years, on the design and operation of power systems …

In this work, a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) modeling framework for
integrating short-term Crude-oil Scheduling (CS) and mid-term Refinery Planning (RP) has …
