Smart grid-integrated vessel through a shore power system

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...

Predictive Aircraft Maintenance: Integrating Remaining-Useful-Life Prognostics into Maintenance Optimization

Current aircraft maintenance ensures safe and reliable flight operations based on inspections repeated at fixed time intervals. The time interval between inspections is often much shorter than the average life of aircraft components, in an effort to timely detect potential failures. While this approach successfully prevents most potential...

Parallel Machine Scheduling: with Partition Constraints

Optimization of the maintenance scheduling and production valuation by green certificates

Summary Part I - Optimization of the maintenance scheduling Resource management in the industry is an important feature to make the most of the production, particularly in maintenance field where the availability of people is a very important condition to minimize losses. An optimized maintenance scheduling is of a crucial importance for wind...
