The increasing complexity of building energy systems integrated with renewable energy systems requires essentially more intelligent scheduling strategy. The energy systems often have strong non-linear characteristics and have discrete working ranges. The mixed-integer nonlinear programming...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is attracting increasing attention since it can assist to improve the efficiency and reliability of power grid, as well as reduce the operating cost and greenhouse gas emission of electric vehicles. Within the scheme of V2G...

This study has been attempted to present the state of art review on the research work carried out for the operation of wind and pumped storage plant (Wind–PSP) under deregulated market. Due to the uncertain characteristics of the wind, power generated by wind turbines is mostly variable and...

The collaborative development of the electricity and carbon markets can reduce transaction costs, stimulate energy conservation and emission reductions, and accelerate the social transition to low carbon. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the current state and policy challenges...

We address the performance optimization problem in a single-station multiclass queueing network with changeover times by means of the achievable region approach. This approach seeks to obtain performance bounds and scheduling policies from the solution of a mathematical program over a relaxation...

We address the problem of scheduling a multi-station multiclass queueing network (MQNET) with server changeover times to minimize steady-state mean job holding costs. We present new lower bounds on the best achievable cost that emerge as the values of mathematical programming problems (linear,...
