1. 1. Production optimization for district heating : Short-term planning of district heating grid in Gävle, Sweden

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Nicolas Lindgren; Karl Brogren; [2019]
   Keywords : Short-term planning; Optimization; District heating; Linear programming; Mixed integer non-linear programming; Branch and bound; Heat storage; MATLAB; TOMLAB;

   Abstract : Energy systems with a high portion of renewable energy from wind and solar power can suffer from fluctuations in production due to weak winds or cloudy weather, which may affect the electricity price. When producing heat and power in a combined heat and power plant, an additional heat storage tank can be used to store the heat surplus which is obtained when the power production is high, and the heat demand is low.

3. 2. Demand Response In The Engineering Industry

   University essay from KTH/Elkraftteknik

   Author : Johan Norberg; [2017]
   Keywords : Demand Response; openADR; Mixed Integer Linear Programming; Discrete Event Modelling; Volvo Group Truck Powertrain Operations Production in Koping; Engineering Industry; efterfrågeflexibiltet; openADR; linjärprogrammering; diskret modellering; Volvo Group Truck Powertrain Operations Production in Köping; verkstadsindustrin;

   Abstract : The power utilities in Sweden are planning to replace the major part of thenuclear power plants with renewable energy resource by the year 2030. Some ofthe renewable energy resources are intermittent, which may endanger the powersystem stability. READ MORE

4. 3. Recovery of primal solutions from dual subgradient methods for mixed binary linear programming; a branch-and-bound approach

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

   Author : Pauline Aldenvik; Mirjam Schierscher; [2015-10-06]
   Keywords : Branch-and-bound method; subgradient method; Lagrangian dual; recovery of primal solutions; ergodic sequence; mixed binary linear programming; set covering; facility location;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to implement and evaluate a Lagrangian heuristic and a branch-and-bound algorithm for solving a class of mathematical optimization problems called mixed binary linear programs. The tests are performed on two different types of mixed binary linear programs: the set covering problem and the (uncapacitated as well as capacitated) facility location problem. READ MORE

5. 4. Integration of energy management  and production planning : Application to steelmaking industry

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Rachid Labrik; [2014]
   Keywords : Scheduling; Linearization methods; Mixed integer linear programming; multi-parametric programming; Bilevel programming; Sensitivity Analysis; ;

   Abstract : Steelmaking industry, one of the most electricity-intensive industrial processes, is seeking for new approaches to improve its competitiveness in terms of energy savings by taking advantage of the volatile electricity prices. This fluctuation in the price is mainly caused by the increasing share of renewable energy sources, the liberalization of energy markets and the growing demand of the energy. READ MORE

6. 5. An Integer Programming Approach to Conversion from Static to Continuous Delivery of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Elin Hynning; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to generate a starting guess for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan optimization by using data from an intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan. We develop a mixed-binary linear programming model, based on choosing segments among a set of predefined segments. READ MORE
