His research interests include smart grid, intelligent manufacturing, and energy-smart and safe buildings. He received RAS 2013 Pioneer Award and 2017 George Saridis Leadership Award.
【内容简介】
Mixed-Binary Linear Programming (MBLP) problems involve binary and continuous decision variables with linear constraints and objective functions, and are prevalent in applications, e.g., power system unit commitment and economic dispatch. Since derivatives of an objective function with respect to binary decision variables do not exist, there is no necessary optimality condition. As a result, partial enumeration of binary variables is generally needed, and the complexity to obtain an optimal solution increases exponentially as the problem size increases, limiting the sizes of problems or quality of solutions. In this talk, a fundamental and complete resolution of such problems for near-optimal solutions with quantifiable quality in a computationally efficient way is presented, using unit commitment and economic dispatch of power systems as the problem context. The novelties include (1) a decomposition framework to exploit the exponential reduction of complexity upon decomposition; (2) an innovative and systematic way to tighten subproblem formulations offline, noting that if the convex hull of a subproblem can be directly delineated by its constraints, then the subproblem can be solved by using linear programming methods without much complexity; and (3) the novel “Surrogate Lagrangian Relaxation” (SLR) method that overcomes all major difficulties of traditional Lagrangian relaxation for very effective coordination of subproblem solutions. Numerical testing demonstrates superior performance of the approach, and points a brand new way to formulate and solve practical MBLP problems.
