A linear programming (LP) routine was implemented to model optimal energy storage dispatch schedules for peak net load management and demand charge minimization in a grid-connected, combined photovoltaic-battery storage system (PV+ system). The LP leverages PV power output and load forecasts to...

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,...

The optimal operation scheduling of a pumping station with multiple pumps is formulated as a dynamic programming problem. Based on the characteristics of the problem, an extended reduced dynamic programming algorithm (RDPA) is proposed to solve the problem. Both the energy cost and the...

Enhanced coal bed methane production with CO2 injection (CO2-ECBM) is an effective technology for accessing the natural gas embedded in the traditionally unmineable coal seams. The revenue via this production process is generated not only by the sales of coal bed methane, but also by trading CO2...

The electricity price arbitrage from the utility grid can be a major source of revenue for energy storage systems. In most countries, the electricity price is tightly regulated by their government statutory authority or energy regulator to which obey the different power utility and distribution...
