How can we make our homes more energy-efficient and resilient to renewable energy fluctuations? A new study in Engineering ...

Aim to minimize the combined fixed and transportation costs by deciding which of five plants to keep open or what have to close.

Abstract: An algorithm for global optima of general mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) is proposed in this paper. The mixed local minimizer of MINLP is first defined, and then a mixed ...

Developing a minimum backbone grid in the power system planning is beneficial to improve the power system’s resilience. To obtain a minimum backbone grid, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) ...

Linear programming is used to maximize or minimize a linear objective function subject to one or more constraints, while mixed integer programming (MIP) adds one additional condition: that at least ...
