Abstract:
Scheduling is a decision making process to determine when, where, how to produce a set of products given requirements in a specific time horizon, a set of limited resources, and processing recipes. The research area of scheduling of crude oil operations in a refinery has received great attention from both the academia and the industry in the past two decades. This is motivated by the increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and increase profit margin arising from ever-changing crude prices, deteriorating crude qualities and growing environmental concerns.
In this talk, we will present an overview of the existing modeling approaches for scheduling problems and their important characteristics. Then, we will present our novel and efficient non-convex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) mathematical model for scheduling of crude oil operations in a refinery. This formulation incorporates many realistic operational features. To solve this non-convex MINLP formulation, we will present our spatial branch-and-bound algorithm with piecewise-linear relaxation strategy for global optimization. In addition, we will present our robust optimization framework to address some uncertainties such as demand fluctuations, and ship arrival delay during the real operations. Large-scale industrial case studies will illustrate the potential benefits of our proposed formulation, global optimization algorithm and robust optimization framework.
