Currently, Wireless Networks have some nice characteristics such as multi-hop, multi-channel, multi-radio, etc but these kinds of resources are not fully used. The most difficulty to solve this issue is to solve mixed integer optimization. This paper proposes a method to solve a class of mixed integer optimization for wireless networks by using AMPL modeling language with CPLEX solver. The result of method is scheduling and congestion control in multi-channel multi-radio wireless networks.

In this paper, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming(MILP) approach for solving optimal Weapon-Target Assignment(WTA) problem of multiple dissimilar Closed-In Weapon Systems (CIWS) is proposed. Generally, WTA problems are formulated in nonlinear mixed integer optimization form, which often requires impractical exhaustive search to optimize. However, transforming the problem into a structured MILP problem enables global optimization with an acceptable computational load. The problem of interest considers defense against several threats approaching the asset from various directions, with different time of arrival. Moreover, we consider multiple dissimilar CIWSs defending the asset. We derive a MILP form of the given nonlinear WTA problem. The formulated MILP problem is implemented with a commercial optimizer, and the optimization result is proposed.

This paper presents an analysis and the methodology of optimal operation strategy of the ESS(Energy Storage System) for reduce electricity charges. Electricity charges consist of a basic charge based on the contract capacity and energy charge according to the power usage. In order to use electrical energy at minimal charge, these two factors are required to be reduced at the same time. QP(Quadratic Programming) is appropriate for minimization of the basic charge and LP(Linear Programmin) is adequate to minimize the energy charge. However, the integer variable have to be introduced for modelling of different charge and discharge efficiency of ESS PCS(Power Conversion System), where MILP(Mixed Integer Linear Programming) can be used. In this case, the extent to which the peak load savings is accomplished should be assumed before the energy charge is minimized. So, to minimize the electricity charge exactly, optimization is sequentially performed in this paper, so-called the Two Stage Hybird optimization, where the extent to which the peak load savings is firstly accomplished through optimization of basic charge and then the optimization of energy charge is performed with different charge and discharge efficiency of ESS PCS. Finally, the proposed method is analyzed quantitatively with other optimization methods.

In this study, a Multiple Objective Mixed Integer Programming (MOMIP) Model is developed for sewer rehabilitation planning by considering cost, inflow/infiltration. A sewer rehabilitation planning model is required to decide the economic life of the sewer by considering trade-off between cost and inflow/infiltration. And it is required to find the optimal rehabilitation timing, according to the cost effectiveness of each sewer rehabilitation within the budget. To develop such a model, a multiple objective mixed integer programming model is formulated based on network flow optimization. The network is composed of state nodes and arcs. The state nodes represent the remaining life and the arcs represent the change of the state. The model consider multiple objectives which are cost minimization and minimization of inflow/infiltration. Using the multiple objective optimization, the trade-off between the cost and inflow/infiltration is presented to the planner so that a proper sewer rehabilitation plan can be selected.

This study performs optimization of paper mill scheduling using MINLP(Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming) method and 2-step decomposing strategy. Paper mill process is normally composed of five units: paper machine, coater, rewinder, sheet cutter and roll wrapper/ream wrapper. Various kinds of papers are produced through these units. The bottleneck of this process is how to cut product papers efficiently from raw paper reel and this is called trim loss problem or cutting stock problem. As the trim must be burned or recycled through energy consumption, minimizing quantity of the trim is important. To minimize it, the trim loss problem is mathematically formulated in MINLP form of minimizing cutting patterns and trim as well as satisfying customer's elder. The MINLP form of the problem includes bilinearity causing non-linearity and non-convexity. Bilinearity is eliminated by parameterization of one variable and the MINLP form is decomposed to MILP(Mixed-Integer Linear programming) form. And the MILP problem is optimized by means of the optimization package. Thus trim loss problem is efficiently minimized by this 2-step optimization method.

This study introduces a method that selects equipments, so as to reach the reliability level, carrying out an optimization analysis which considers the reliability data and cost of the equipments. A more practical optimization problem has been formed using the object function based on the discrete function and the constraints. The jacked reactor being the subject, an optimization analysis was performed on equipments that have different failure rates depending on costs in order to reach the target reliability level required by the system. The mixed-integer programming (MIP) was used for this optimization analysis. When the jacked reactors target level of reliability was $1.65{\times}10^{-4}$, the result of the analysis showed the equipments with high cost and low failure rate were selected. However when the target level of reliability was low, the result showed that by choosing the equipments with lower cost and reliability over the more expensive one, the desired target level could be reached.

This paper presents the cost optimization of a composite I beam floor system, designed to be made from a reinforced concrete slab and steel I sections. The optimization was performed by the mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) approach. For this purpose, a number of different optimization models were developed that enable different design possibilities such as welded or standard steel I sections, plastic or elastic cross-section resistances, and different positions of the neutral axes. An accurate economic objective function of the self-manufacturing costs was developed and subjected to design, resistance and deflection (in)equality constraints. Dimensioning constraints were defined in accordance with Eurocode 4. The Modified Outer-Approximation/Equality-Relaxation (OA/ER) algorithm was applied together with a two-phase MINLP strategy. A numerical example of the optimization of a composite I beam floor system, as presented at the end of this paper, demonstrates the applicability of the proposed approach. The optimal result includes the minimal produced costs of the structure, the optimal concrete and steel strengths, and dimensions.

In this paper, we propose operations and maintenance (O&M) planning approach for floating offshore wind farm using the mathematical optimization. To be specific, we present a MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming that suggests the composition of vessels, technicians, and maintenance works on a weekly basis. We reflect accessibility to wind turbines based on weather data and loss of power generation using the Jensen wake model to identify downtime cost that vary from time to time. This paper also includes a description of two-stage approach for maintenance planning & detailed scheduling and numeric analysis of the number of vessels and technicians on the O&M cost. Finally, the MILP model could be utilized in order to establish the suitable and effective maintenance planning reflecting domestic situation.

In this paper, a mixed-integer programming approach is presented for adjusting the voltage profiles in a power system. The advent of large-scaled system makes the reactive power and voltage problem-an attempt to achieve an overall improvement of system security, service quality and economy-more complex and seriously, Although the problem is originally a nonlinear optimization problem, it can be formulated as a mixed integer linear programming(MILP) problem without deteriorating of solution accuracy to a certain extent. The MILP code is developed by the branch and bound process search for the optimal solution. The variable for modeling transformer tap positions is handled as discrete one, and other variables continuous ones. Numerical data resulting from case study using a modified IEEE 30 bus system with outaged line show that the MILP can produce more reductions of magnitude in the operating cost. The convergence characteristics of the results are also presented and discussed.

This paper considers a profit-based unit commitment problem with fuel consumption constraint and maintenance cost, which is one of the key decision problems in electricity industry. The nature of non-linearity inherent in the constraints and objective functions makes the problem intractable which have led many researches to focus on Lagrangian based heuristics. To solve the problem more effectively, we propose mixed integer programming based solution algorithm linearizing the complex non-linear constraints and objectives functions. The computational experiments using the real-world operation data taken from a domestic electricity power generator show that the proposed algorithm solves the given problem effectively.
