Robust Airline Scheduling with Controllable Cruise Times and Chance Constraints
Duran, A. Serasu; Gürel, Sinan; Akturk, M. Selim (2015-01-02)
Robust airline schedules can be considered as flight schedules that are likely to minimize passenger delay. Airlines usually add an additional time-e.g., schedule padding-to scheduled gate-to-gate flight times to make their schedules less susceptible to variability and disruptions. There is a critical trade-off between any kind of buffer time and daily aircraft productivity. Aircraft speed control is a practical alternative to inserting idle times into schedules. In this study, block times are considered in...
Integrated aircraft-path assignment and robust schedule design with cruise speed control
Safak, Ozge; Gürel, Sinan; Akturk, M. Selim (2017-08-01)
Assignment of aircraft types, each having different seat capacity, operational expenses and availabilities, critically affects airlines' overall cost. In this paper, we assign fleet types to paths by considering not only flight timing and passenger demand, as commonly done in the literature, but also operational expenses, such as fuel burn and carbon emission costs associated with adjusting the cruise speed to ensure the passenger connections. In response to flight time uncertainty due to the airport conges...
Improved wind power forecasting using combination methods
Köksoy, Ceyda Er; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
Wind is an important renewable energy source to produce electricity thanks to its reliable, omnipresent and economically feasible characteristics and it has a growing proportion in overall energy production worldwide. However, integration of the generated wind power into the existing transmission grid is an issue due to inherently volatile and intermittent behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind powe...
Improved Wind Power Forecasting Using Combination Methods
KOKSOY, Ceyda Er; OZKAN, Mehmet Baris; BUHAN, Serkan; DEMIRCI, Turan; Arslan, Yusuf; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-12-11)
Integration of the wind power into the existing transmission grid is an important issue due to discontinuous and volatile behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind power forecasting approaches have been gaining importance in renewable energy research area. The Wind Power Monitoring and Forecast System for Turkey (RITM) currently monitors a growing number of wind power plants in Turkey, and uses wind po...
Intelligent short-term load forecasting in Turkey
Topalli, Ayca Kumluca; Erkmen, İsmet; Topalli, Ihsan (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01)
A method is proposed to forecast Turkey's total electric load one day in advance by neural networks. A hybrid learning scheme that combines off-line learning with real-time forecasting is developed to use the available data for adapting the weights and to further adjust these connections according to changing conditions. Data are clustered due to the differences in their characteristics. Special days are extracted from the normal training sets and handled separately. In this way, a solution is provided for ...
