A cost-effective model for the gasoline blend optimization problem
(Wiley, 2016-03)
Gasoline blending is a critical process with a significant impact on the total revenues of oil refineries. It consists of mixingseveral feedstocks coming from various upstream processes and small amounts of additives to ...
Short-term operational planning of refined products pipelines
(Springer, 2017-03)
Pipelines are the safest and least expensive mode for transporting energy products over long distances. Refined products pipelines convey multiple oil derivatives from refineries to marketing terminals, usually through the ...
Optimization model for the operational-level scheduling of multi-source pipelines with parallel batch injections
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
Pipeline networks are the shippers' first choice for carrying large volumes of refined petroleum productsfrom oil refineries to distant distribution terminals. Optimization approaches for solving the pipelinescheduling ...
From Linear Programming Model to Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model for the Simultaneous Optimisation of Water Allocation and Reservoir Location in River Systems
(MDPI, 2018)
The allocation of water flowing through a river-with-reservoirs system to optimally meet spatially distributed and temporally variable demands can be conceived as a Network Flow Optimisation (NFO) problem and addressed by ...
A Cluster-based Optimization Approach for the Multi-depot Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
(Elsevier Science, 2007-12)
This paper presents a novel three-phase heuristic/algorithmic approach for the multi-depot routing problem with time windows and heterogeneous vehicles. It has been derived from embedding a heuristic-based clustering ...
Improving Supply Chain Planning in a Competitive Environment
(Elsevier, 2012-03)
This work extends the use of a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model, devised to optimize the Supply Chain planning problem, for decision making in cooperative and/or competitive scenarios, by integrating these ...
An MILP model for the plug-in electric vehicle charging coordination problem in electrical distribution systems
(Ieee, 2014-01-01)
A new mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed to represent the plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) charging coordination problem in electrical distribution systems. The proposed model defines the optimal ...
