Exact approaches towards solving generator maintenance scheduling problems
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The holistic management of a national power system is faced with multiple long and short-term scheduling challenges. One of the key long-term scheduling problems is referred to as the generator maintenance scheduling problem ... -
Mixed integer linear programming for unit commitment and load dispatch optimisation
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The objective of solving the unit commitment and environmental economic load dispatch problem (UCEELD) for power utilities is to minimise the overall operational cost associated to power generation, while optimising the ... -
Operations and investment modelling of an energy microgrid with mixed-integer linear programming
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)The increase in electricity demand worldwide is driven by economic growth and a rising population. The traditional power system, which is based on a centralised network, is facing many challenges and is not capable of ... -
Optimal resource allocation in Virtual Network Embedding
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Optimal resource allocation has become a focus in the technological environment due to the high costs associated with physical infrastructure and space. Furthermore, Network Operators (NO)s have to keep up with the rate ... -
Optimization of passive optical network planning for fiber–to–the–home applications
(North-West University, 2013)Passive optical networks (PONs) are point-to-multipoint networks where a single Central Office (CO) is connected to a number of downstream Optical Network Units (ONUs) via a single optical fiber by splitting the optical ... -
Resource allocation and scheduling within the context of fibre network deployment
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP), where a schedule must obey the resource constraints and precedence constraints of various activities over time, is one of the most studied scheduling problems. ... -
Solving large scale office scheduling problems as combinatorial auctioning problems
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)Within specific exible work models, employees must reserve an office to gain access to one. However, over-bookings and double-bookings arise with such approaches. This can result in the inefficient utilisation of the ... -
A stochastic programming approach for marketing campaign optimisation
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)A marketing campaign is a series of activities that effectively promote an organisation's service or product. Optimising a marketing campaign by providing the right product to the right customer at the right time is ... -
Towards optimal route planning for solar-powered battery electric vehicles
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)Given the recent advances in battery technologies, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are more in demand since they are considered a better option than Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). There are some drawbacks ...
