Resource-constrained Project Scheduling with Time-of-Use Energy Tariffs and Machine States: A Logic-based Benders Decomposition Approach

arXiv:2601. 06542v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) with Time-of-Use (TOU) energy tariffs and machine states, a variant of RCPSP for production scheduling, where energy price is part of the criteria and one highly energy-demanding machine can be in one of the following three states: proc, idle, or off.

Finding Optimal Cost-Bounded Plan Reductions: Refined Model

arXiv:2607. 25484v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In some real applications a plan may later become unfeasible due to newly imposed budget constraints, yet, at the same time, using only the original actions of the plan and their order is mandatory.

Optimizing Appliance Scheduling for Solar Energy Management Using Metaheuristic Algorithms

arXiv:2606. 13407v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Renewable energy is essential for meeting future energy demands; however, solar energy generation, which occurs only during daylight hours often does not align with household consumption patterns.
