Optimal Deployment of Electric Aircraft for Canadian Domestic Flights
Elham Soufiani, Mehrdad Pirnia
This paper presents a multi-period mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) framework for planning the transition from conventional to electric aircraft in regional aviation. The mo…
IoT-based Fresh Produce Supply Chain Under Uncertainty: An Adaptive Optimization Framework
Chirag Seth, Mehrdad Pirnia, James H Bookbinder
Fruits and vegetables form a vital component of the global economy; however, their distribution poses complex logistical challenges due to high perishability, supply fluctuations,…
A Neural Network Framework for Discovering Closed-form Solutions to Quadratic Programs with Linear Constraints
Fuat Can Beylunioglu, P. Robert Duimering, Mehrdad Pirnia
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been used to model complex optimization problems in many applications, yet have difficulty guaranteeing solution optimality and feasibility, despit…
Partially-Supervised Neural Network Model For Quadratic Multiparametric Programming
Fuat Can Beylunioglu, Mehrdad Pirnia, P. Robert Duimering
Neural Networks (NN) with ReLU activation functions are used to model multiparametric quadratic optimization problems (mp-QP) in diverse engineering applications. Researchers have…
Integration of Renewable Energy Sources for Low Emission Microgrids in Canadian Remote Communities
Enrique Gabriel Vera, Claudio Canizares, Mehrdad Pirnia
In recent years, the electrification of Canadian Remote Communities (RCs) has received significant attention, as their current electric energy systems are not only expensive, but a…
A Privacy-Preserving Energy Management System for Cooperative Multi-Microgrid Networks
Carlos Ceja-Espinosa, Mehrdad Pirnia, Claudio A. Cañizares
This paper presents an Energy Management System (EMS) that considers power exchanges between a set of interconnected microgrids (MGs) and the main grid, in the context of Multi-MG…
An Efficient Data Driven Model for Generation Expansion Planning with Short Term Operational Constraints
Hassan Shavandi, Mehrdad Pirnia, J. David Fuller
Generation expansion planning (GEP) models have been useful aids for long-term planning. Recent growth in intermittent renewable generation has increased the need to represent the…
Extended opportunity cost model to find near equilibrium electricity prices under non-convexities
Hassan Shavandi, Mehrdad Pirnia, J. David Fuller
This paper finds near equilibrium prices for electricity markets with nonconvexities due to binary variables, in order to reduce the market participants' opportunity costs, such as…
