This paper proposes a new method of combining SAT with discrete event simulation. This new integration proved useful for designing a solver for capacity analysis in early phase railway construction design. Railway capacity ...

Electrical substations transform voltage from high to low, or low to high for distribution and transmission, respectively, and are a critical part of our electricity infrastructure. The state of a substation is continuously ...

Product lines need decision models that guide the derivation of product variants satisfying specific requirements. In dynamic product lines, whose requirements vary during runtime, these decision models are also required ...

Empirical analysis of hospitals in production economics often find little or no evidence of scale economies and quite small optimal sizes. Medical literature on the other hand provides evidence of better results for hospitals ...

Locally refined B-spline (LRB) surfaces provide a representation that is well suited to scattered data approximation. When a data set has local details in some areas and is largely smooth elsewhere, LR B-splines allow the ...

In this paper, we present and compare several methods for generating scenarios for stochastic-programming models by direct selection from historical data. The methods rangefromstandardsamplingandk-means,throughiteratives ...

In order to quantify a set of scenarios for the European and Norwegian energy system, a set of two linked models is applied. These comprise a global assessment model and an expansion model for the European power system. ...

In this work, the performance of an amine-based post-combustion carbon capture system using MEA (monoethanolamine) integrated to a Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant is studied. WtE plants are affected by fluctuations at different ...
