An evolutionary programming approach is used for the techno-economic analysis of a wind farm coupled with a pumped storage facility. The optimal day-ahead generating schedule is considered. Wind forecasts contain an element of random error, and several methods of addressing this uncertainty in...

With the remarkable growth of natural gas consumption and the development of renewable energy worldwide in recent years, the penetration capacity of gas-fired generators and uncertain renewable energy has significantly become larger, which poses a great challenge to the reliable and economic...

Distributed renewable energy systems are now widely installed in many buildings, transforming the buildings into 'electricity prosumers'. Additionally, managing shared energy usage and trade in smart buildings continues to be a significant difficulty. The main goal of solving such problems is to...

The combined scheduling of hydro, thermal and hybrid energy (i.e., wind and solar) is attracting more and more attention nowadays. This paper explores the contribution of renewable energy sources in the traditional hydrothermal scheduling problem in order to overcome the prevailing issues like...

In this paper, we treat an optimal control problem of a stochastic two-machine flowshop with machines subject to random breakdown and repair. While the problem is difficult to solve, it can be approximated by a deterministic problem when the rates of machine failure and repair become large....
