This paper proposes a dynamic optimization–simulation model as a decision support system for one-way carsharing … organizations. To reduce the vehicle imbalance in one-way systems, a Vehicle Relocation Optimization model is solved successively in … a discrete event simulation. Each event is the arrival of a new user. The model is compared to an a priori benchmark …

In this paper, a combined simulation/optimization model is developed to better understand and evaluate the impact of … optimization model, the simulation model determines the number of required machines for each operation, their daily working …, hauling contractors and the cellulosic ethanol plant. The optimization model prescribes the optimum number and location of …

This paper reviews the latest PSE tools used in development of novel biodiesel processes. It … describes the main PSE elements such as process model development and product design, simulation of biodiesel processes …

This paper presents the numerical simulation of a solar assisted ground coupled heat pump (SAGCHP) system which can … provide both space heating and domestic hot water (DHW). The optimization process is completed on the TRNSYS based platform by …
