The reliability of the power plants and transmission lines in the electricity industry is crucial
for meeting demand. Consequently, timely maintenance plays a major role reducing …

We address the problem of planning outages of nuclear power plants submitted by EDF
(Électricité De France) as the challenge EURO/ROADEF 2010. As our team won the first …

This paper presents a heuristic method based on column generation for the EDF (Electricité
De France) long-term electricity production planning problem proposed as subject of the …

Results: As a result of the study, five different preventive maintenance of the critical
equipment of the plant have been scheduled. The contributions of this study to the literature …

A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by
local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is illustrated …

This paper addresses a large-scale power plant maintenance scheduling and production
planning problem, which has been proposed by the ROADEF/EURO Challenge 2010. We …

This paper deals with stochastic scheduling of nuclear power plant outages. Focusing on the
main constraints of the problem, we propose a stochastic formulation with a discrete …

We study a resource-constrained project scheduling problem in a hazardous environment
considering some different strategies of staffing. An overhaul project of a nuclear power …

Results: As a result of the study, five different preventive maintenance of the critical
equipment of the plant have been scheduled. The contributions of this study to the literature …

This paper presents a heuristic approach combining constraint satisfaction, local search and
a constructive optimization algorithm for a large-scale energy management and …
