This research focuses on sustainable machining operations by considering the impact of cutting tool deterioration in job scheduling and tool replacement activities. A single-machine scheduling approach is studied to determine job processing time based on tool age and operating duration, aiming to minimize weighted costs. A new variant of simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to solve large instances efficiently and consistently outperforms traditional methods.
This research considers the realistic phenomenon of cutting tool deterioration in the scheduling of jobs and tool replacement activities to ensure sustainable machining operations. Typically, each job has a basic processing time (independent of tool deterioration) and a tool age-dependent prolongation function. Nevertheless, such a strategy may replace the cutting tools before its useful lifespan to avoid longer processing time as it leads to higher energy consumption and likelihood of tardy jobs. Given the reduced tool operating duration, the prospect of exploiting its capability to limit the processing time prolongation is not considered by prior works. In this research, a single-machine scheduling approach that determines the job processing time based on tool age and operating duration (utilization) is studied. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) with the objective of minimizing the weighted costs of energy consumption, tooling, and job tardiness. Due to its computational complexity, a new variant of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed to solve large instances, where an adaptive strategy is utilized to determine the neighborhood size for enhanced exploration and exploitation. Computational results for an exhaustive set of instances indicate the proposed scheduling strategy to always outperform the existing method, yielding up to a 43% reduction in total cost. Besides, the proposed variant of SA effectively solves the scheduling problem and consistently dominates the traditional SA method. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Fu-Wing Yu, Wai-Tung Ho, Chak-Fung Jeff Wong

Summary: This research aims to enhance the energy management in commercial building air-conditioning systems, specifically focusing on chillers. Ridge regression is found to outperform lasso and elastic net regression when optimized with the appropriate hyperparameter, making it the most suitable method for modeling the system coefficient of performance (SCOP). The key variables that strongly influence SCOP include part load ratios, the operating numbers of chillers and pumps, and the temperatures of chilled water and condenser water. Additionally, July is identified as the month with the highest potential for performance improvement. This study introduces a novel approach that balances feature selection, model accuracy, and optimal tuning of hyperparameters, highlighting the significance of a generic and simplified chiller system model in evaluating energy management opportunities for sustainable operation. The findings from this research can guide future efforts towards more energy-efficient and sustainable operations in commercial buildings.

Gerardo Humberto Valencia-Rivera, Maria Torcoroma Benavides-Robles, Alonso Vela Morales, Ivan Amaya, Jorge M. Cruz-Duarte, Jose Carlos Ortiz-Bayliss, Juan Gabriel Avina-Cervantes

Summary: Electric power system applications are complex optimization problems. Most literature reviews focus on studying electrical paradigms using different optimization techniques, but there is a lack of review on Metaheuristics (MHs) in these applications. Our work provides an overview of the paradigms underlying such applications and analyzes the most commonly used MHs and their search operators. We also discover a strong synergy between the Renewable Energies paradigm and other paradigms, and a significant interest in Load-Forecasting optimization problems. Based on our findings, we provide helpful recommendations for current challenges and potential research paths to support further development in this field.
