Fleet Sizing and Scheduling of Electric Thin-Haul Aircraft: A Column Generation and Large Neighborhood Search Based Method

This Thesis proposes an optimisation model to minimize operational cost of a fleet of electric thin-haul aircraft under a minimum RPK (Revenue-Passenger Kilometer) constraint. A solution that minimises cost per RPK can be found by varying the minimum RPK level. The solutions describes how many aircraft are needed, as well as a schedule for each...

The effect of price-optimized charging on electric vehicle fleet emissions

Aggregation of sufficiently large electric vehicle (EV) fleets and control over their charging schedules enables aggregators to utilise the flexibility of EV charging in the Day Ahead Market. Optimising the charge scheduling of such fleets enables time-shifting of electricity demand to hours when electricity is cheaper, reducing the...

Complexity of Scheduling Charging in the Smart Grid: Extended Abstract

The problem of optimally scheduling the charging demand of electric vehicles within the constraints of the electricity infrastructure is called the charge scheduling problem. The models of the charging speed, horizon, and charging demand determine the computational complexity of the charge scheduling problem. For about 20 variants the problem is...
