Distributionally Robust Ideal Power Circulation with Contextual Details

The researchers Adrián Esteban-Pérez and Juan M. Morales develop a distributionally durable chance-constrained solution of the Optimal Power Flow problem (OPF), where the system operator can leverage contextual data. For this purpose, they utilized an ambiguity collection based on probability trimmings and optimum transportation. This way, the dispatch service is safeguarded against the incomplete...

Car Fleet Sizing, Positioning and Routing Trouble with Stochastic Customers

The Vehicle Fleet Positioning, Sizing, and Routing Problem with Stochastic Customers (VFSPRP-SC) is a method that consists of pairing strategic warehouse positioning and fleet sizing solutions with operational vehicle routing decisions while considering intrinsic demand uncertainty. The issue (VFSPRP-SC) was successfully settled using a methodology composed of two principal blocks:a scenario generatiING phase;a two-stage...
