This work presents a probabilistic sequential framework for short-term operation of distribution companies (DisCos) participating in the day-ahead (DA) and real-time (RT) markets. In the proposed framework, the DisCo's ...

The problem regarding the optimal location and sizing of fixed-step capacitor banks in distribution networks with radial configuration is studied in this research by applying a two-stage optimization approach. The first ...

Weinvestigate some modal operators of necessity and possibility that form an adjoint pair in the context of meet-complemented lattices. We prove that they form an equational class and we study the modalities, i.e. the ...

Operational capabilities are characterized as an internal resource of the firm and source of competitive advantage. However, the literature of operations management provides inadequate constitutive definitions of operational ...

In the present work, the optimal design of pre-fermentation and fermentation operations for ethanol production is obtained developing a superstructure mathematical model. Different configurations of both operations are ...

To guarantee acceptable hard candy quality during the cooling stage, the distribution of the product’s temperature throughout the cooling tunnel must be controlled. Hence, the product’s quality depends on the operating ...

Industry 4.0 is a modern approach where the connectivity between different stages of the production process and the consumers is enhanced. In this paper a relevant problem for both Industry 4.0 and flow shop literature is ...
