Data-driven Optimization: Applications to Energy Infrastructure and Process Industry
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-20)Nowadays, the existence and ease of access to massive amounts of data encourage proposing data-driven solutions. As optimization has always been based on the interchange between models and data, high-level optimization ... -
Distribution Planning with Consolidation - A Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-07)The distribution planning problem with consolidation center(s) addresses the coordination of distribution activities between a set of suppliers and a set of customers, through the use of intermediate facilities in order ... -
Energy Management and Smart Charging of PEVs in Isolated Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)Microgrids are defined as a cluster of loads and micro-resources operating as a single controllable entity that provides both power and heat to its local area. Typically, these rely on conventional diesel generators, but ... -
Geometric Optimization of Solar Concentrating Collectors using Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)This thesis is a study of the geometric design of solar concentrating collectors. In this work, a numerical optimization methodology was developed and applied to various problems in linear solar concentrator design, in ... -
A Stochastic Programming Model for a Day-Ahead Electricity Market: a Heuristic Methodology and Pricing
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-18)This thesis presents a multi-stage linear stochastic mixed integer programming (SMIP) model for planning power generation in a pool-type day-ahead electricity market. The model integrates a reserve demand curve and shares ...
