Abstract
In growing economic energy systems, the interdependency of various energy infrastructures has led to a change in countries' policies in their expansion planning of energy networks. In this study, a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model is proposed for expansion planning of the multi-carrier systems including electricity and gas distribution networks. The optimal planning determines the best location, time, and alternative for network assets in order to minimise investment costs and reduce losses. Also, as another distinctive feature of this study, given the integration of electricity and gas distribution networks and the complexity of the problem, a new MILP model using...
The Planning and Scheduling of Operating Rooms under the Open Scheduling Strategy and Uncertainty
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rafiee, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Operating rooms has always been considered as one of the most expensive, yet most profitable part of a hospital. Since many units in the hospitals are related to the operating room, improving efficiency in the operating room will result in increased efficiency in other units, so offering proper solutions in this area is very important. Suitable Planning and scheduling has a great impact on increasing the level of service and efficiency of the hospital. in this thesis, a mixed integer programming model for scheduling weekly elective patients in the surgical theater with the objective of maximizing the number of elective patients for the surgery and also the workload of the operating room...
