This paper gives a review on existing scheduling methodologies developed for process
industries. Above all, the aim of the paper is to focus on the industrial aspects of scheduling …

Production scheduling and process control have the common aim of identifying
(economically) optimal operational decisions, and it is reasonable to expect that significant …

The active management of electricity demand, also referred to as demand side management
(DSM), has been recognized as an effective approach to improving power grid performance …

A building HVAC system includes a waterside system and an airside system. The waterside
system consumes one or more resources from utility providers to generate a heated and/or …

Today's fast-changing markets often require the granularity of production schedules to be
refined to time scales comparable to the time constants of a chemical process …

Recent developments in energy markets, such as the increasing share of inherently volatile
renewable power in the energy supply mix and the need of reducing carbon emissions while …

With the potential to decrease operating costs and improve energy efficiency, model
predictive control (MPC) has been proposed as a replacement for traditional heuristic, PID …

Scheduling is a major component for the efficient operation of the process industries.
Especially in the current competitive globalized market, scheduling is of vital importance to …

Energy-intensive industries can take advantage of process flexibility to reduce operating
costs by optimal scheduling of production tasks. In this study, we develop an MILP …

We first review advances in rescheduling, traditionally viewed as an approach to tackle
uncertainty, including methods that rely on recourse through feedback as well as methods …
