Dynamic Scheduling and Control of MEA Absorption Processes for CO2 Capture Using gProms
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-03)There are three general approaches for the mitigation of carbon emissions from fossil fuel fired power plants; pre-combustion, oxyfuel and post-combustion carbon capture. The post-combustion absorption process using MEA ... -
Generation Scheduling in Microgrids under Uncertainties in Power Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Recently, the concept of Microgrids (MG) has been introduced in the distribution network. Microgrids are defined as small power systems that consist of various distributed micro generators that are capable of supplying a ... -
Implementation of Energy Hub Management System for Residential Sector
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)This thesis is concerned with the implementation of a proposed Energy Hub Management System (EHMS) mathematical model for residential appliances under Time of Use (TOU) based electricity rate structure. The objective is ... -
Integrated Daily Windows and But-For Analyses for Accurate Schedule Forensics in Construction Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)Construction projects usually operate in dynamic multi-party constrained environments that frequently cause schedule delays and cost overruns and lead to disputes among parties. To mitigate such disputes and fairly apportion ... -
An integrated personnel allocation and machine scheduling problem for industrial size multipurpose plants
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)This paper describes the development and implementation of an optimization model to solve the integrated problem of personnel allocation and machine scheduling for industrial size multipurpose plants. Although each of these ... -
A Novel Back-Off Algorithm for the Integration Between Dynamic Optimization and Scheduling of Batch Processes Under Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-04)This thesis presents a decomposition algorithm for obtaining robust scheduling and control decisions. It iteratively solves scheduling and dynamic optimization problems while approximating stochastic uncertainty through ... -
Optimal Control of a Heterogeneous Two Server System With Consideration for Power and Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)In this thesis we consider a system of two heterogeneous servers with a shared queue, and examine a scheduling policy for the optimal control of such a system. Previous results by Lin and Kumar and Koole found that a ... -
Resource Management in Next Generation Cellular Networks
